C.S.'s story

Chronic Fatigue, Brain Fog, Digestion Problems & Mold Exposure

I came to see Dr. Jennings in August of 2009 with symptoms of depression, chronic fatigue, severe muscle pain, irritable bowel syndrome, brain fog, and a host of other symptoms that my primary care physician had diagnosed as Fibromyalgia. I could not sleep at night, because I just could not get comfortable due to muscle pain. No matter what I ate, my stomach was bloated and I went through bouts of diarrhea followed by constipation.

I had been to all kinds of doctors — gastroenterologists, orthopedists, psychotherapists, allopathic doctors, an acupuncturist, and chiropractors, who did help me for short periods of time.

I found it difficult to sleep at night, so I went through my days just trying to keep myself together for my family. My relationship with my husband became strained. My children suffered, because I could not do things with them that they enjoyed doing with me. I felt like I was a burden to my family. I couldn't feel any joy, because everything I did took too much effort.

The first thing Dr. Jennings did was to listen to me as I explained the path that led me to her. She looked me straight in the eye and told me she would do everything she could to help me. As I sat there in tears, she reassured me that there was hope. It was something that I really needed to hear that day.

She did a thorough physical examination and gave me diagnostic tests that gave her direction for how to help me on my way. I left her office with an array of homeopathic and herbal supplements. I was so desperate, that I was willing to try anything.

Within one week of seeing Dr. Jennings, my mood lifted, and I already started sleeping through the night. I realized that I had to make some personal commitments to my new health regimen. Dr. Jennings sent me for several diagnostic tests, which showed heavy metal exposure and signs consistent with mold exposure. When I researched mercury exposure and mold illness, everything fell into place — I had all of the symptoms that are commonly associated with them.

I changed the way I ate. I cut out all grains except for corn, ate lots of fresh vegetables and fruits, nuts, and lean meats. Not only did I lose excess weight, but I felt a new lease on life. For the first time in a year, I started laughing out loud, and my family remarked how much nicer it was to spend time with me.

I am happy to say that I no longer need as many bottles full of homeopathic or herbal remedies as I did at the beginning of my wellness plan, just enough to maintain my health and to continue supporting my body.

While all the other doctors I had seen before Dr. Jennings had the intention of helping me lead a healthy and productive life, none had the knowledge or took the time to examine my case on the cellular level. Each one of them looked at a piece of the puzzle. Dr. Jennings looked at the whole picture through various methods of discovery, and was able to customize a wellness plan that worked for my body. I am so very grateful for her care and professional manner.

I highly recommend Dr. Jennings to anyone who wishes to be "born again" into a new and healthy lifestyle.
