If you told me six months ago that I would now
be under chiropractic care, I would have said you were
crazy. For two years I had various degrees of aches,
pains, and fatigue-from mild to hardly being able to
function. After being diagnosed with fibromyalgia,
I was placed under the care of a rheumatologist, who
ordered many tests, but they showed nothing was wrong.
For more than a year I took an
assortment of prescription drugs, none of which
helped except Prednisone (but you can't take that
long-term without bad side effects). It was then
suggested that I see a neurologist, who prescribed
anti-convulsants and anti-depressants. Again, there
was no relief. When I asked why he prescribed this
type of medication, he said I would not understand. "Great
answer!" I thought to myself. Four months ago my
daughter, Nancy, read about the doctors at Monmouth
Spine Center, and the rest is history. I would
say I'm about 85 percent improved, and I'm not
taking any prescription drugs for my aches and
pains. Thank you, Dr. Dandrea!

Before I came to Monmouth Spine Center, fibromyalgia
was wreaking havoc on my body. At 16 years old, I could
no longer keep up with my schoolwork, or even go to
school. My whole body was so tender that I could not
even lay on the floor without cringing in agony. I
sat lifelessly at home while my friends went out at
night and had fun, because I was unableto walk far
or eat normal food.
I was in constant mental and physical
pain, and I was often too exhausted to even get out
of bed; I felt like I was dying. Then I received
a pamphlet in the mail from Monmouth Spine Center,
a place that could supposedly cure me and end my
suffering. This was a day that changed my life forever.
My initial appointment with Dr. Dandrea gave me more
hope for the future than I've had since being diagnosed
at age 12. Since I have been under his care, my life
has taken a 360 degree turn. I am absolutely pain
free. There is not a trace of fatigue in my life;
I cannot remember ever having this much energy. I
can eat like a normal teenager, go out
with my friends, and I can exercise as much as I want. School is no longer
an obstacle, as I am nearing an A+ average. I can once again take part in extracurricular
activities and just live life as best I can. The fibromyalgia is just a memory.
I shudder to think where I would be right now if it were not for Monmouth Spine
Center. Dr. Dandrea has truly saved my life.

| I am a client with Fibromyalgia,
when I first came to this office 7 weeks ago I was extremely
depressed, extremely sensitive not only emotionally but
also to the touch. My husband said that I sounded very
angry all the time yet I didn't feel I was. After a time
of not feeling well I guessit all wears on you so slowly,
you yourself just accept it as normal.
I used to rate my day from 1-10, 10 being a good day.
After 7 weeks of treatment I have come to realize that my days that
I thought were a 10 were really only a 2. The difference in how I feel
is remarkable and so quickly. I'm not feeling
tired at all. I'm actually sleeping on my own and the sensitivity to my body
has disappeared. The bouts of diarrhea
that I have had for years is gone, no matter what I eat. I feel healthy, being
more aware of what I eat. I feel as though my weight is beginning to stabilize
and come down. My energy level
has increased incredibly.
My emotional status is definitely more at an even level, although I still may
get a low, it is nothing like it was before and with treatment of chiropractic
care we have almost eliminated a bad day. Before I was looking for a good hour.
I can't thank the doctors at Monmouth Spine Center enough for all the care
and healing they have provided me. My family and I are so grateful. My husband
says how "it is so nice to have you back".

My wife and I have just completed our 36 visit program and are amazed and very
pleased with the results. When we first saw your report for treating Fibromyalgia
we felt that after 6 months of doctor's visits and over $10,000 in testing with
no results we would try your treatment. Looking back, it was the best thing we
could have ever done!
