Relief From Hemiplegic Migraines, Partial Paralysis of The Right Eye, Mouth, Arm, and Leg
A Testimonial
I came to Upper Cervical Health Centers Boise as a last-ditch effort to get any kind of relief from my hemiplegic migraines. The partial paralysis effected my entire right side- my right eye would close, the right side of my mouth slumped, my right arm and leg took extreme effort to move. I also had intermittent problems with loss of speech, stuttering and tunnel vision. All of this was in addition to the constant pain in my head and neck. About 3 years ago I had to stop driving because my leg and back would start cramping and spasming. Because the hemiplegia had gotten so frequent and debilitating my family doctor had suggested I get a permanent handicap plaque to make life easier for me and my husband. With the hemiplegia happening so frequently (sometimes only 2 hours between episodes) and lasting for days at a time I had a wheelchair to help me get around.
I had tried all kinds of medical help since this began about 35 years ago. I had gone to many internists, neurologists, chiropractors, massage therapists from Boise to OSU Medical center even to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. So many were very kind health professions that just didn’t know how to help me. I have tried pain medication, neurological medication, Botox injections, vitamin regiments, herbal remedies etc. All in an effort to get some relief- some worked a little bit but nothing solved all the problems I was having. I had been told by doctors and chiropractors that I could not come back to them because they didn’t know what else to do for me. Because my symptoms looked so much like a stroke they didn’t want me as a liability. At one point I had to undergo psychological testing to prove that I was not a hypochondriac.
My first visit with Dr. Blom was quite encouraging although I had learned throughout my long illness not to get too hopeful. The “adjustment” (more like a nudge to the C-1 vertebrae) he made in my neck had immediate results. I had not realized how much pain I had been feeling in the back of my neck and up my skull until it stopped suddenly almost instantly with the nudge. When he told me to stand up from table my head felt like all the blocked fluid in my head started draining- the pressure in my head started going away and the pain was gone. Of course, with my C-1 being double displaced for so long it has taken a while for my head, neck and spine to recover and heal. Within a month I was back to driving with no problems. I have had only 3 or 4 adjustments within 8 months. The hemiplegia is gone. My speech problems are gone. My back problems are getting better. I know that I have a lot of tissue damage that still needs to heal but we finally solved the root cause so I can heal. I can finally function as a normal mother, wife, and grandmother- no handicap sticker or wheelchair needed any longer!
