Living with Crohn’s disease isn’t always fun, especially when you’re hospitalized, on lots of medications, miss a lot of work or when you’re on a diet or your doctor won’t allow you to do certain things. I forgot to mention the embarrassing moments of having to run to the restroom or the pain that hurts so bad you physically cannot move. This was just a brief look into my life about 6 years ago. I had been frustrated and discouraged for so long I needed an alternative, a way out from feeling miserable. So, I turned to Tigerlily Acupuncture searching for a way to relieve my constant pain and feel like a “normal” 22 year old. Doug was optimistic in trying to alleviate my symptoms with determination, herbal remedies, dietary changes, and stress relief. One treatment changed my negative attitude, and I realized that Crohn’s disease cannot be beaten, but it can be controlled with the proper adjustments. \r

A year and half later I am the healthiest I have been in 7 ½ years. Thanks to Doug I am living a “normal” life as a 24 year old. If you are struggling with any type of digestive problem, please don’t hesitate to try acupuncture. Crohn’s disease can control your life, or you can control it. Please see Doug, be positive, and reassure yourself that you can beat it.\r

Thank you again to Doug and good luck to all.
