By week three I caught myself laughing at something my daughter said. I can’t tell you the last time that happened. By the end I just felt like me again. Not medicated me. Just me. Oh and the ringing in my ears I’d had for years? Gone. I didn’t even come here for that.

So I’m not gonna lie, the first two weeks I was like, did I just waste a bunch of money? I wasn’t feeling anything different. But then my girlfriend pointed out I wasn’t checking the door lock a million times before bed anymore. I started paying attention after that. The mental noise got quieter. And now I sleep through the night which literally never happened before.

I approached this methodically. I kept a pain journal before and during treatment, rating my symptoms on a scale of one to ten each day. For the first three weeks my average hovered around seven, consistent with my baseline. Week four I noticed a drop to five. By the end of treatment I was averaging a two, sometimes a one. The burning that used to keep me up at night is essentially gone. I can walk around the neighborhood again without planning my route around benches to rest on. The data speaks for itself.

I had a Vegas trip planned with the guys and I cancelled it because I didn’t want to miss my sessions that week. That’s when I knew something was different. Old me would’ve been way too worried about what they’d think to cancel. I just didn’t care. My brain felt more important than Vegas.

His teacher emailed us about two months in asking what we changed. He’s staying in his seat now. He’s finishing his work. He raises his hand. At home he does homework without one of us standing over him the whole time. He’s still got his energy, he’s still him, but he can actually focus when he needs to. This is what we were hoping for.
