If you took a look at my medical file, you would see that over the past 4-5 years, I have had numerous visits to General Practitioners, Ear Nose and Throat specialists, and Allergy Specialists. You could also see that the drugs I have been given have included antibiotics, nasal sprays, cough medicines, antihistamines, decongestants, and steroids. I have also undergone X-rays and allergy tests several times. I don't know the total cost of the doctor visits, drugs, and tests, but I'm sure it was a lot and the end result was that I felt no better.

The bottom line after all the above was that I still had headaches almost every day from the pressure in my sinuses. Imagine having headache every day, and going to work, raising kids, and going through a normal routine. It was hard. One of the "specialists" that I saw finally told me there was nothing wrong with me and perhaps Prozac would help me feel better! Another doctor told me that since I am highly allergic to dust and mold, I should continue to take antihistamines, decongestants, and nasal spray year round. Since this was unacceptable to me (and because I still had headaches even taking the above) I sought out another alternative. After seeing Shasta, my symptoms began to subside. Shasta asked me lots of questions and really listened to my answers. She explained that all my symptoms were related and she treated them as one problem, instead of as separate problems. She prescribed a combination of acupuncture, change in diet, exercise, and herbs. After about 2 weeks, my headaches disappeared completely. Although we are still working on some related problems, I feel great, better than I have felt in years.
