Joint Pain

Patient Name: Margaret Welsh
 
1. WHAT CONDITION BROUGHT ME TO THE OFFICE?
“Extreme Joint pain, unable to walk, get in and out of a car or sit for any period of time. Weight gain with no explained reason.”
 
2. WERE YOU EVER TREATED BY ANY PHYSICIAN SUCH AS ORTHOPEDIST, NEUROLOGIST, OR PHYSICAL THEREAPIST?
“I was treated by physical therapist and MD for joint pain. No relief, tested for RA but it came back negative.”
 
3. WHAT WERE THE RESULTS WITH THESE DOCTOROS.
“No relief after many tests for RA, Lupus, Lyme’s etc. the MD finally just told me she was stumped.”
 
4. WHAT RESULTS HAVE YOU HAD AT OUR OFFICE?
“Dr. Collings did a fabulous job of diagnosing the Thyroid, Sugar and GLUTEN problem. I did the no sugar and gluten diet and felt wonderful results in about 4-5 days. Along with the diets I have taken supplements that she has prescribed for me and have lost weight about 12 pounds since September and more to come! I am able to work a 10 hour day which I could not work previously. AND I AM BACK TO GOLFING!”
 
5. HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED ANY OTHER BENEFITS BESIDES THOSE DIRECTLY RELATED TO YOUR INITIAL PROBLEM?
“I am educated to my Gluten allergy and on Thanksgiving I had the traditional meal and then the leftovers on Friday. By Saturday my hands, hips, knees and ankles were in terrible pain all over again. So I now truly know I have NO interest in eating GLUTEN foods as it has serious consequences to my well being.
 
I have found many other ways to enjoy food and snacks and will continue to make these life changes because I am unable to be off 2 asthma inhalers, Singulair, I no longer use Meloxicam for pain. My allergies are minimal and my asthma is non-existent.
 
In closing, let me say I am an average 58 year old woman who never thought I would change my way of eating and use supplements in place of medications but Dr. Collings has proven herself to me to be an expert in her field and I give all the credit to her for giving me my health back in 2011, an otherwise difficult year for me! I will continue to visit Dr. Collings as needed and look forward to a fantastic 2012 in which I will have my first Grandson and be able to actually spend quality time with him because my health is good! THANK YOU DR. COLLINGS FOR YOUR WONDERFUL WORK.”
