Yeah, that website kind of skeeved me out too. All that pink alone...

Could you change you apartment? Move out or redecorate maybe.

Unforunately I own this thing, and the market is not great in this neighborhood for an apartment this size. We've got a lot of families moving in here who don't really want a one-bedroom. The apartment that adjoins mine is the same layout and size and it's been vacant for nearly two years now (though I'm convinced that's because the owner is asking way too much for it). I've thought about redecorating and frankly, the bathroom could use a complete gut renovation but I hate to spend that kind of money when my income has been regressing.

Maybe you don't have the right diagnosis for your illness yet?

It's pretty much been isolated to a spinal problem that's probaby the result of whiplash from a car accident about ten years ago. There's a compression between two vertebrae in my neck that causes chronic vertigo and a host of other symptoms like numbness, blurred vision, tinnitus, fatigue, etc. At the other end of my spine, my tailbone is displaced and is causing me chronic pain and one thing tends to affect the other (like, if I sit or lie in the wrong position for too long, the vertigo really flares up). Problem is, no one really knows how to solve this problem. Physical therapy, yoga and chiropracty are three recommended treatments and none of them worked. So far the only thing that offers relief is a sedative called Klonopin, which I've been on now for almost three years, and that comes with its own bag of side effect tricks. I know that curing this wouldn't fix everything else, but I wish I could just feel healthy again because then I might at least have more energy to try and work on the other stuff.

It's pretty telling that these 'testimonials' only focus on the persons' bursts of feelings.

Didn't you read about the part where she claims she can make cavities disappear? I mean, really. That sends up a red flag right there.
