Case Studies: Stephanie Depression

weMED helped Stephanie, a teacher, alleviate her tendonitis and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, while also curing her depression and dramatically reducing her symptoms of fatigue and inflammation.

When Stephanie first visited weMED, she knew she needed help but didn’t know where to start. She suffered from tendonitis in both her right and left elbows, a weak thyroid, and a TMJ disorder so severe she had to wear a mouthguard at night. Stephanie also endured years of debilitating fatigue and poor sleep quality and had tried everything from getting more sleep to eating better. While those efforts had shown some improvement, she was still so tired that she needed a nap every day. Worse yet, Stephanie suffered from depression for years and coped by drinking 3-4 glasses of alcohol a night. She was too afraid to wean herself off her antidepressants. She also suffered from inflammation, which blocked her circulation, stalled the flow of energy through her meridians, and made her nerves and acupuncture points feel very tender. Every day she felt tired, depressed, and in pain.

Once she came in for her initial consultation and underwent subsequent treatment, weMED drastically reduced her tendonitis and TMJ symptoms, guided her in quitting her antidepressant medication, and helped her gain control over her fatigue by improving the quality of her sleep.

Our measurements are on a scale of 1-10, with 1 representing virtually no pain and completely healthy, and 10 representing the worst pain you’ve ever felt or very unhealthy.

Stephanie wanted to change her life for the better; she just needed the right health team behind her. To assemble your health team, schedule your consultation appointment today.
