My name is Ed, and I am married to my wonderful wife Mary.
I am writing Mary's testimonial of how Dr. Kelly Boulden of the Fibromyalgia & Fatigue Center of Ft. Worth helped her to restore her health and achieve complete remission with her Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Mary was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in August 1998. The years between 1998 to just prior to seeing Dr. Kelly Boulden were very difficult years.
When Mary was diagnosed, her chief complaints were hurting and burning all over her body. The pain was excruciating. I also noticed she was staying up all hours of the night because she could not go to sleep. Her migraines increased and her brain fog was a constant companion.
Mary did see a Fibromyalgia specialist who was not connected to FFC. The doctor started her on Neurontin, Trazadone, and Propanolol. She was already taking thyroid medicine for hypothyroidism. She then developed more symptoms, which were hair loss, dry eyes, tooth pain, ringing in her ears, hypoglycemia, tingling in her joints, swollen joints, muscle spasms, legs going numb at night, depression, weight gain, skin itching, acid reflux, dry skin, dry mouth, asthma, poor balance, chemical sensitivities to foods and cleaners and medicines, and not absorbing food properly.
Mary would get up late in the morning, eat, and go back to bed. Then, she would get up again to eat lunch, putting food in the crock pot for dinner. The rest of the day, she would sit on the couch, read, or watch movies. She did manage to do the laundry. Housework was extremely sporadic. Going to church on Sunday morning was out of the question. She could not get up in the morning to attend church, so we had to find a church that had an evening service. We ended up going sporadically because Mary was too exhausted to attend.
Mary and I moved to Texas in 2005. Soon after that, a friend of ours told us about FFC in Ft. Worth. Mary immediately made an appointment. Dr. Boulden examined Mary and started her on the IV's for memory.
At out next appointment, Dr. Boulden went over Mary's blood tests with us. She ordered several medications and supplements. They were not all given at once, but over time to help her body adjust and heal. She is now on just a few medications to maintain her health.
After thirty-five years of not working, her thyroid started working again, and she lost fifty pounds. The only time that Mary gets a headache is when there is a full moon, or there is a drastic change of climate. When she does get a headache, it is very light. Other than those times, she is headache-free, and happily so. Her hair quit falling out, her skin is no longer dry, she has no hypoglycemia symptoms, and she has ENERGY! She can now do normal household activities and even attend church on Sundays. She can now live a normal life. We are ecstatic over it! Mary is in complete remission, she is feeling great, and is very happy.
