Difficulty Breathing and Insomnia

My name is John T.  I came to Abundance Acupuncture in June 2008 because I was having severe difficulty breathing and had been unable to sleep at all for four weeks. This problem started just after my hip surgery four weeks earlier.  I could not breath at all if I laid down.  Unless I was sitting or standing it was just like a valve in my throat was shut off, my breath would not go in, and I felt like I was going to die.  Because of my recent hip surgery I could not stand up for very long, so the only thing I could do was sit, but I was restless and could not relax.  I also could not sleep a wink.  I felt like crawling up the walls and I was so irritable, hopeless, and tired that I was about to pull my hair out.  Because I could not sleep my hip was not healing and my feet were swollen from sitting all the time.

I could not function normally, work, drive a car, live like a human being, or do anything; I did not even feel like reading or watching TV.  My doctors tried medications for my breathing and sleeping pills but they only made everything worse.

I was able to breathe again, even lying down, after two treatments at Abundance Acupuncture and my sleeping improved after the fourth treatment.  At this point in time my condition feels 300% better. I now feel normal again and I am able to breath normally, sleep at night, drive a car, and go to work.  My hip is healing faster now and the swelling in my feet has gone down completely. 

The clinic is wonderful and the staff is very welcoming.  I didn’t know where else to turn and my doctors couldn’t help me.  I’m very glad that Abundance Acupuncture is here in Beaver Dam.  I would recommend acupuncture to anybody because it works.
