I first started to feel pain in July of 2001. The pain started in my lower back and went through to my abdomen. Because I was having pain I went to Rexburg Medical Center and visited with a doctor there. He said that I had a severe bladder infection and gave me shots and infection medicine. I saw him two more times and it got worse. I ended up at the emergency room in Madison Memorial. There they did x-rays took blood tests to check out my internal organs they decided that I might have something call colinitis disease and sent me to Eastern Idaho Medical Center. There they kept me overnight and the next night they did a scope of my digestive system and diagnosed me with irritable bowel syndrome and sent me home. The pain went away a little bit to where I could stand it. Them it got worse in September again, and I ended up at Madison memorial Emergency Room again. Since July I started to get different symptoms. My legs would go numb from time to time. I got dizzy spells, loss of memory, I couldn’t lay on my left arm, and of course the abdominal and back pain. The doctor I saw at Madison told me that I was just depressed and that was why I was having the pain. He put me on depressant medication. The medication didn’t help at all. I began to sleep walk to I then stopped taking them. In November I was getting into the tub when I slipped and the pain worsened. That is when my mother suggested I go see Dr. Smith. Since I have seen him all my symptoms have vanished. From the first treatment my back and abdomen don’t hurt. I can lay on my side. My dizzy spells are gone and my memory has improved quite a bit. My legs also do not go numb anymore. I feel young and healthy again.
