Hello my name is Amy Sandusky. For over a year now I have been dealing with debilitating symptoms that were once considered just anxiety and severe depression. As my physical and mental health continued to decline, I turned to one doctor after the next, ER visit after ER visit. After nine of months of no answers, I was finally diagnosed with POTs a form of dysautonomia which is where your autonomic nervous system malfunctions. At this moment I was relieved to finally have an answer and to finally be heard. However, little very medical attention in this area and the treatments through standard medicine are very limited. I’ve tried countless medications, supplements, the increase of salts/water compression garments you name it. Slowly but surely my body continues to shut down. My symptoms are severe. Constant fatigue, headaches/head-pressure, dizziness, swelling over my entire body, GI issues, temperature intolerance, tremors, chest pain, heart palpitations, brain fog, adrenaline rushes and the list goes on. I’m a mother of four who use to live a very active lifestyle, now I’m pretty much bed ridden and working the bare minimum. My life was completely ripped away from me. There are times when all I can do is cry. Anxiety and depression continue to get worse as my symptoms continue to take over. As I have mentioned I’ve gone from specialist to specialist with no relief. Upon doing a lot of research I have common upon a place that is local to me that treats those with my condition through getting to the root of the problem, regulating the nerves system. Their reviews are amazing, and results unremarkable. However, it’s an out of pocket expense that I am unfortunately unable to afford. Through this treatment, I will be able to gain myself back. The person that once enjoyed hiking, gardening, spending time with friends and family, most importantly putting my energy into my family. Through your help I will be able to have another chance at living a better life again.
