“I’m astonished!...”

On the brink of menopause at age 53, Corinne had premenstrual headaches for years, and had experienced many post-period headaches, too. She asked her doctor for recommendations, who suggested over-the counter Tylenol Sinus. He didn’t consider the situation serious enough to refer her to a headache specialist, so Corinne was desperate when she found us on-line. She started the Personal Program and her headaches are now gone. She filled us in during her Nurse–Educator consult...

“The more severe headaches were located behind my eyes,” said Corinne, describing features similar to both sinus and migraine headaches. “They lasted 48 hours with little relief. I got desperate when I missed a trip to New York City to celebrate a birthday due to a severe headache.”

When she found us on-line she felt a bit of hope: “This would possibly help — I had to try something! My headaches dissipated almost immediately one week after starting the Program. My husband couldn’t believe the difference in me after one week! Everything fell into place: I am feeling better, and sleeping better too.”

During her consult, Corinne noted that she only develops headaches now when exposed to vehicle exhaust or painting fumes, and her hot flashes are dwindling, too. She recognizes that there are additional self-care measures she needs to implement as she transitions into menopause, but now that she’s headache-free she feels prepared to take them on.

Corinne knows we are here for her as she continues in her Program. “As a nurse myself, I’m astonished that no one in my medical center even thinks of trying this approach.” She adds that a girlfriend’s hair loss stopped after she referred her to the Program, so “Now I’m telling everyone I know about it!”
