I began suffering from
migraine headaches when I was about ten years old. The
pain would be so intense that I would physically vomit
uncontrollably for hours. I had no set pattern for my
migraines, so that I could get one at any given time, a
lot of which would come at the worst possible moments.
Needless to say my life had been really affected because
of the migraines. On average, I had to take one day off
a month from my job due to the migraines and therefore,
was rarely able to enjoy any vacation time.
I had gone to various
doctors who didn’t know how to treat my migraines, so
they kept prescribing various medications. I first tried
Imitrex to which I had awful side effects and was unable
to take it and just took endless supplies of Tylenol for
years. I then was prescribed Zomig from a "migraine
specializing doctor" which I though worked great until
it didn’t work quite as well as it used to because I
began building a tolerance to it.
I first heard of Dr.
Zembroski from a friend of my sisters that is also a
patient. I felt that no one could help me and had come
to terms with the fact that I was going to have to live
with migraines for the rest of my life. I only decided
to come to his office after my family kept on me to make
an appointment. At that point I had nothing to loose, so
I took a chance.
Dr. Zembroski conducted
a neurological exam and knew right away how he could
help me. He realized that the left side of my brain was
fatigued and promised me that through adjustments three
times a week I would fee better. At first, I couldn’t
see how anything he was going to do would help me. How
can someone be treated with no pills with severe pain
like this? But, I went along with it and glad to say
that I was proven wrong.
I am proud to say that
ever since I’ve started going to Dr. Z, I have only had
a handful of migraines, most of which were not even that
severe. I now maybe experience one migraine a month if
that and feel great knowing that I can begin living like
a normal person. I’ve missed out on a lot over the
years, but thanks to Dr. Z I have started enjoying life
to its fullest and feel like a new person.
