Testimonial of Alexis W.
My name is Alexis Walker. I am 19 years old. I was diagnosed with
fibromyalgia when I was 12. I have spent years on medication and
struggling with physical and mental depression as well as exhaustion.
The day of my first appointment with Jim I had just come from the doctor
and he told me I have acid-reflux disease. Since using the sauna and
taking supplements I haven't had any problems with acid reflux. I have
also had 100% more energy! I used to need a nap daily and still need at
least 8 hours of sleep at night.
I would have "good" and "bad" days with muscle pain and there was no way
to determine what each day would be until I was upon it. It hurt to be
touched and I felt like crying from pain on "bad" days. "Good" days just
meant I didn't hurt unless there was a reason,
but I was still very sensitive, especially to cold. I would bruise if I
got too cold.
Now I can stay awake and be energetic. I am taking 20 credit hours in
school and I am doing fine. Before I could barely make it with 12 credit
hours.
This last weekend I went to Yuba lake with my friends. The high
on Saturday was 66 [degrees Fahrenheit], but we were all out on the lake
tubing, water skiing, and swimming to the cliffs to jump off. That was
the coldest water I've been in, but my muscles handled it fine, I swam
100+ feet in it and didn't bruise at all. Plus I was fine for the rest
of the day as well. I'm doing things now I thought I never could!
