Gill 24
Gill's Doctor had diagnosed Raynaud's Syndrome five years earlier. She experienced painful, cold stiff fingers which went from shades of white to grey and purple. Gill lost her sense of feeling from her knuckles to her fingertips and then all her joints became painful. Her circulation was generally poor, she had no energy and she found concentrating very difficult. Gill was a cold person to touch who did no exercise and who was dedicated to her academic studies. Gill had 9 appointments until she moved away. Her condition improved dramatically with her hands becoming warmer, pain free and more flexible. She said how she could 'feel the blood flowing ' after each appointment, something she had not felt for almost 5 years. As a result of Gill's considerable improvement , she was able , with the Doctor's approval to reduce her medication. Gill said 'my sense of well- being is so much better that I don't feel the pain now.' Gill asked me to refer her to an Acupuncturist in her new town, which I was happy to do
