Michael Billauer D.C., Marina Del Rey California

In April of 2000 I began to experience extreme pain in my limbs. I felt stabbing pains up and down my legs and burning pain throughout my arms and shoulders.

I was sent to a neurologist who told me, I had neuropathy and prescribed Neurontin. He told me I would have to take 3600 milligrams daily for the rest of my life. I was next sent to an internal medicine specialist who was called a magician with difficult cases. He told me I was suffering from fibromyalgia. He had no additional treatment to offer.

I continued with pain and medication and was laid off from my job as of 12/31/01. I was unable to concentrate, was always sleepy and could barely function. In mid-May 2003, my car was again rear-ended while stopped at a red light. This had happened many times before and I had also been in other types of car accidents dating back to1975.

I began seeing Dr. Billauer soon after the last accident. I had never been to a chiropractor before. I have tried everything else to help my injured neck and pain. Now I was ready for something different.

I stopped taking all medications after September 7, 2003. I discovered that I no longer suffer from any of the horrible burning and stabbing pains that so incapacitated me. Before the medication I could hardly move. Now I am pain free. Dr. Billauer's treatment has removed my pain. What has happened to my Fibromyalgia?

Thank you.
