Elizabeth : Progress Report as of
April 1, 2016
The pain in my left
temporomandibular joint (TMJ) has disappeared. In addition, my temporomandibular
joint no clicks when I open my mouth. I started suffering from TMJ pain
about 15 years ago. During that time, I saw over 5 dental specialists and
underwent numerous x-rays and tests. None of the specialists could pinpoint
the exact cause for my problem, and each suggested a treatment that was much
different from the treatments suggested by the other specialists. I ended
up not pursuing any of the treatments, and had decided to live with the
pain. Right now, I am totally pain free and have been so for at least the
last several months.
The hearing in both of
my ears has improved. I am hearing sounds that I haven't heard in years.
In addition, sounds and voices that I was able to hear before are clearer
and richer. Overall, I feel that I am hearing much more of what is going
on around me than before I started the treatments.
My face is looking more
relaxed and youthful. When I arrived at the clinic, my face was puffy and
drawn and I had very dark circles under my eyes. Also, my facial muscles
and the corners of my lips were pulling downward. I feel that my face is
firmer and more lifted now and that the dark circles under my eyes have
diminished.
I am less shaky than I was
when I arrived for my first visit. When I arrived for my first visit at
Dr. Yi's Clinic, my hands were visibly shaky. My right hand would shake
when I tried to pour a small bottle of water into a glass, or when I
tried to sign my name. My hands no longer shake. Possibly I was
exhibiting signs of Parkinson's Disease. In any case, now the tremors are gone. In addition, overall, I react more
calmly to stressful situations than I did before I started my
treatments .
