Mrs. Shelly M.

Mrs. Shelly M. - North Carolina - Here is another lady who un-necessarily suffered from untreated Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Generalized pain Syndrome and Anxiety with Depression.

Here is the her very special testimonial on how she was able live, once again - Email letter on 06/09/2002:

" After 15 years of suffering, trying multiple physicians and remedies, being mis-diagnosed and under-treated, I found Dr. Gatell through the American Society for Action on Pain. I have been under his care for approximately 18 months and I have been reborn. Not only has he given me my life back, he has opened a spiritual side of my center being.

Through his expertise, he first diagnosed me correctly. Then he worked up a treatment plan which released me from the debilitating pain I had suffered so long. I came into his office hurting, depressed, feeling useless and alone. I now have a way to treat my pain, am released from the concurrent depression, and know that God is with me. I believe He led me to Dr. Gatell, and that He works through him.

There is little comparison between the person who walked into Dr. Gatell's office a few months ago and the person who writes this today. I feel I have been given a second chance at life. My pain is controlled and I am able to lead a useful, productive life. I can laugh again. I can participate in social activity, contribute to my family, friends and co-workers, and enrich the world instead of withdrawing from it.

I thank God I found Dr. Gatell and pray you can too.

Shelley M.
