Silent Migraines
In 2015 I started to experience dizziness and vertigo. My body felt like it was slowing down. It became harder and harder to move and my episodes of vertigo were getting worse. In November 2015 I saw a neurologist who, diagnosed me with Silent Migraines. When the Silent Migraines came on I would experience seizure-like episodes. I felt “Out of It,” just staring into space, unable to talk. My hands would tremble and my forearms and thighs would go numb. The episodes lasted 45 minutes to an hour. One time it lasted for 3 hours. I was experiencing 2-3 episodes per day. I was also dealing with headaches, diabetes, a torn meniscus, and a broken foot. I walked with a cane because I didn’t feel steady on my feet. The neurologist referred me to a Bio-Feedback therapist which helped me a lot, allowing me to go out more often. In March 2017 I had a major scare. Ever since then I was experiencing a lot more episodes. In April 2017 I saw a holistic MD who after doing a number of different tests told me I had a lot of inflammation in my brain and in multiple organs, and a very weak immune system. The therapist then referred me to Dr. Coppola, a Holistic Chiropractor. When I thought of chiropractic my initial reaction was that it was for people with back problems…not me! At the time I was dealing with many symptoms and seeing many medical doctors. Their advice was a regimen of medications and when my problems didn’t improve they would up the medications. One day I had no control over what was happening to me…it frightened me to the point I did not want to be outside my home by myself. I then decided to call Dr. Coppola and I am so happy I made that decision! The most amazing thing about Dr. Coppola is his care for my health. I no longer get silent migraines, vertigo, tremors, numbness, or headaches. I no longer need to use a cane to get around. In September 2017 I was feeling so good I was able to go back to the gym. The main point of this letter is that I want to personally thank you and express how much I appreciated you taking care of my health. I have experienced such a wonderful welcoming from you Dr. Coppola and your gracious wife Grace. I am proud to tell my friends and family about your office. Thank you so very much for helping me to the road of recovery. I could not have done it without you.
Sincerely yours,
Sharan
