A rash started to break out over my entire body. It got so bad, I went from doctor to doctor looking for help. I had gone to five different doctors. They all ran tests and found nothing. They all treated me with ointments and antibiotics. I could not tolerate air conditioning at all. My skin over my entire body was continually flaking. I had to change clothes, shower, and lotion my entire body twice a day. My hair came out, and every one of my finger nails and toe nails came off. The skin on my hands and feet was thick and dry, and would burst open and bleed. I was so irritable my wife was afraid to talk to me at times. I am 61 years old, but I looked well over 100. My family and everyone else that knew me thought I was dying. I guess maybe I did too. After 7 months of this I saw another doctor, but this time it paid off. I know without a doubt that Dr. Wilson's treatment saved my life. After starting treatment and getting my temperature up, I gradually returned to normal, almost from a point of no return. After I began to improve, then everyone started telling me how absolutely horrible I did look. Of course, they wouldn't say before how bad I looked. I will be eternally grateful to Dr. Wilson for giving me my life back.
 

In September 1989, I was referred by my own GYN to an endocrinologist for thyroid testing. I complained of debilitating fatigue, headaches, depression, and rather frightening episodes of monthly PMS. Actually these symptoms had been present for at least 3 to 4 years, and I had previously had thyroid testing (at least 3 times that I recall) and I was told that the results were in the "normal" range. The endocrinologist diagnosed me as being hypothyroid and prescribed Synthroid. In a follow up visit in January 1990, I explained that I felt no better than before I began taking the medication - I literally felt no difference and all the complaints were still present. The doctor I was seeing said that obviously these symptoms were caused by something other than the hypothyroidism. He suggested I see my "regular" doctors since there was nothing more he could do for me, and I was to continue taking the Synthroid for the rest of my life.

Needless to say, this was very disappointing, but I really had no alternative and simply did not know where to go or what to do next. My mother suggested that I had nothing to lose by seeing Dr. Wilson, since the fatigue and headaches were at a level that made daily functioning extremely difficult.

I was astounded that the profile for Wilson's Temperature Syndrome seemed to be tailored to me personally. Then when I went, I subsequently began charting my temperature and found it was always well below 97.4 and I began to hope that I had finally come to the right doctor. When I began taking the liothyronine, I literally felt better immediately and within a few days felt better than I had ever felt in my life. The fatigue was gone, the headaches were gone, and the depression was gone.

Perhaps even more phenomenal, was that days prior to my first menstrual cycle after beginning the medication, I, for the first time in as long as I could remember, experienced no discomfort whatsoever - no mood swings, no cravings, no depression, no irrational behavior, and no cramping. Needless to say I was ecstatic and was almost non-believing that I could feel so generally good.

The list of the additional physical changes that have taken place during my treatment would be extensive. Some specifics are as follows: Formerly brittle fingernails are now strong and growing. My skin was always blemished and dry and now is clear and more moist. I sweated excessively and now do so only moderately. I am even-tempered and no longer have severe moods (my husband will attest to this). I formally, on a daily basis, had episodes of "spots before my eyes" and momentarily blurred vision - this has completely stopped. A most significant result is the absence of fatigue. It is simply something I remember from the past and no longer experience. The depression which had begun to make me question my overall sanity is also gone. My family and friends quite frankly think I'm a different person and are pleased with the new me. I feel like a new person. The primary benefit that I have gained from my treatment is complete absence of any physical ailments, symptoms, or complaints, and the general sense of overall well-being. I feel well physically and mentally. It feels almost miraculous. I can only, in understatement, say thank you Dr. Wilson for giving me my life back.
 

My problem began when I quit smoking 4 years ago. I started gaining weight. I tried to lose weight on my own, but to no avail. I went to a weight loss clinic and started their program. They kept telling me that I must be cheating because I wasn't losing weight and I was not in ketosis.

In August, 1988, I moved to Florida and tried another weight loss clinic. After 6 months of staying on their program of 800 calories a day, I lost 4 pounds. Discouraged and very depressed I went to an endocrinologist for help. My thyroid was under active and I was given Synthroid. A year later I was even more depressed, constantly tired, headaches every day and still overweight. I talked to my doctor. He told me I would just have to live with myself as I was, overweight and tired. I told him I refused to live the rest of my life the way I felt. He told me I needed to see a psychiatrist to help me accept the way I was. This caused me to feel even more hopeless, depressed and discouraged. I even felt I must be going crazy. Every night for months I cried myself to sleep, growing more and more despondent.

Fortunately, I was told about Dr. Wilson. He explained to me what could be causing my metabolism to be so sluggish and that the depression and fatigue could be related to Wilson's Temperature Syndrome. In just a few short weeks of beginning treatment, I was beginning to feel less fatigued and the depression was lifting. In just a couple of months, I lost 40 pounds, and even more important, the fatigue was gone. Depression, fatigue, and headaches are no longer a part of my day. I eagerly face each new day with energy and a positive outlook. I am so thankful to Dr. Wilson, his staff, and the many hours of research he has done to find help for me. I have truly been given a new lease on life.
 

I am writing this letter to thank you for what you have done for me. Your diagnosis and treatment of me has changed my life!

Five years ago my life and my health seemed to take a turn for the worse. I was under an extreme amount of stress but it never occurred to me that the problems I was experiencing were also responsible for the changes taking place in my body. I had headaches, my skin was becoming dry and flaky, I had a loss of energy, and some accompanying depression. I also began to gain weight even though my food intake had actually decreased. Being a reasonably intelligent person and aware of my body and its reactions, I knew something was wrong. I began to retain fluids and my feet and ankles were so swollen and painful that, at times, it became uncomfortable to stand or walk.

At this point I decided to seek professional help. I went to two different doctors and got the same answers from them, answers that were to prove to be of no help whatsoever. Both said they could find nothing that was not within "normal" limits. In other words, they as much as said there was nothing that could be done to help me. I was beginning to think all of my problems were in my head rather than in my body.

When I found out about the Wilson's Temperature Syndrome Treatment Center, I made an appointment. As I filled out the patient information sheet and checked off all my symptoms, I became embarrassed at the number of symptoms I had that corresponded with your list. When my temperature was taken and registered below normal, I remember saying to the nurse, "That's O.K., It's always low." Little did I realize at the time how important that fact would prove to be.

Needless to say, you know the rest of the story. I began taking the medication and remarkably, within 3 days, I began to feel much better. All of my symptoms disappeared within the first week. My family and friends could not believe the immediate changes in me. I had almost forgotten what feeling good was all about. I know there must be many, many people who are in the same condition I was. If only they could know about your treatment. I refer everyone I meet who has the same symptoms I had.

Now that I understand Wilson's Temperature Syndrome and its symptoms, I believe that this condition attributed greatly to my mother's ill health. My life has changed completely thanks to you and your research. It's good to know that there are still doctors who are not content to rest on the knowledge they acquired in medical school or on the research of others. Thank you again for everything.
 

Sandra: I'm writing to thank you for the return of my good health! Since I began treatment for Wilson's Temperature Syndrome I have felt better than I have for over ten years.

After three days on your medication, my daughter said, "Mom, I can't believe it. You even look better." It's been a steady improvement ever since, and after only two months, all those years of ailments, lethargy, depression, bronchitis, and on and on, seem almost like a bad dream. I can actually walk up stairs without having to rest at the top, and I'm using only about a fourth of the bronchial medication. I have also slept better than I have in years. I would be too exhausted, sleep fitfully for one to three hours, then pace for a couple of hours and drag myself out of bed with the alarm. This has not happened once since my first day of your treatment. It's wonderful to wake up rested and looking forward to the new day. Again, thank you and God bless you.

Suzi: I felt the need to take a moment to write a letter of thanks to you. I have been following your treatment of my mother, Sandra, and I must tell you the results of your work are a miracle. As long as I can remember, she has struggled and fought with her health. The headaches she suffered would send her life into a downward spiral of pain from which she would take days to recover. She was in so much pain that she would be unable to perform even the smallest daily tasks, and her family suffered with her. Within three days of your treatment, my mother had more spirit, vigor, and love of life than I had seen in her for ten years. She has enjoyed each day as if it was her first and the joy on her face is a sight to behold. She shines with the same youthful glow that we have missed for so long.

Doctor, your work has given this family their mother back, and to you we are eternally grateful. May the Lord bless you and your work.
 

There are no words to describe the relief and difference I have felt since undergoing the treatment for Wilson's Temperature Syndrome. I not only feel better physically but also mentally.

Where do I begin with my story? When I first read of the treatment, I was more than skeptical, to say the least. When I read the list of symptoms, I thought, "Come on, be real-all these symptoms just from thyroid?" There were so many of my own symptoms listed there. But I had had good medical treatment and had been on Synthroid for years so surely I was just imagining these symptoms, wasn't I? This was what I had been led to believe for over 30 years.

Now since I feel so much better, I look back on the years when I was so very, very tired while raising my children and waking each morning more tired than when I went to bed; of wanting to just pull the covers over my head and cry; of aching all over and having to concentrate so hard just to remember how to rise from a chair and not wanting anyone to know because you think it must all be in your mind.

You are only 25 years old and look great except your feet and hands swell and you are a little bit overweight since the children were born. No one knows you eat very little and must go on a starvation diet to lose any weight at all. You are able to keep a reasonably clean house and are active with your children's school, and even take a full-time job so your husband can go back to college. Even though each day you must push yourself physically and just will yourself to keep going.

All the time you keep these things to yourself because you don't want to complain, and your doctors cannot find anything physically wrong with you other than a low thyroid and you are receiving Synthroid for that, so that ought to fix what ails you. In fact, to go back a little bit, before the doctors gave me Synthroid for my problem, they sent me to the hospital for treatment with radioactive iodine, twice.

I look at many people now and wonder if they could be suffering form the same condition as I had, excusing it as stress, getting old, every day life, and a host of other titles.

I believe my condition was not ordinary, due to the fact that neither Dr. Wilson nor anyone else could determine just how much thyroid tissue had been destroyed because of the radioactive iodine. However, after I finally figured, "What do I have to lose?" I called and made the appointment to see Dr. Wilson. Upon my consultation visit with him, he told me all the symptoms I had felt over the years. I was impressed. Remember now, I was real skeptical, and as I said before, I had had good medical treatment over the years, but simply received either blank stares when I related my problem or the feeling of "Quiet, woman, I'm the doctor, there is nothing wrong with you," or, "I'll determine what is wrong with you." Or as one very kind doctor admitted, he just couldn't figure women out. So with a shrug of the shoulder, I went on my way and felt, "What's the use, just live with it. Everyone must feel this way, they just don't mention it." And I wouldn't either.

My grandmother, who was a very intelligent person, but very cranky and at times seemingly uncaring, had her thyroid removed at Ford Hospital in Detroit around the turn of the century. She never received any medication for her condition. Now I can see that perhaps her complaints were not unjustified, and her short temper was perhaps due to her physical condition of low thyroid or no thyroid. She is gone now. I wish I had been more understanding.

My normal body temperature has been 96.0 degrees for as long as I can remember. One doctor told me if my temperature went to 98.6 I should consider this as 2 degrees of fever and treat it that way.

I thought of myself as cool, calm, and collected, although I was on high blood pressure medicine. I guess I wasn't too cool, calm, and collected. Dr. Wilson took me off Synthroid and started me on T3 medicine for approximately 10 months. After that time, he weaned me off all thyroid medication. I have been off both Synthroid and T3 for six months now, and the thyroid blood test done last week shows that both my T4 and TSH are within normal limits. After 30 years my thyroid gland is functioning properly on its own, and I'm doing much better now than when I was on thyroid medicine. I have lost 40 pounds and reduced my blood pressure medicine by 1/2. I have kept the 40 pounds off for the last six months with little or no effort.

I hold the position of executive secretary for a very busy public figure and pride myself on being a good wife, a very efficient secretary, a great mom and grandmom, and very active in several volunteer organizations. What more can I say, Dr. Wilson, other than I wished you had been around 30 years ago.
 

I am a single mother, part-time student, and a full-time employee of an insurance agency. There was a time when I could not have possibly kept the daily schedule I have now, and absolutely could not have thought clearly, even if I could manage the hours. I recall very well a little over 2 years ago when I could not concentrate on instructions being given for a new job. I would record the information and go home and listen to it again. My goal through the day was to survive physically until I could sit down at home for the rest of the night until bedtime. I would be completely exhausted.

One spring day at work, I really panicked when I realized I could not add simple figures such as 6 + 4. Later that summer I became so sleepy while driving home one night from an all-day shopping trip that I had to let my teenage daughter drive us back to my mom's house where we were visiting. I was oblivious to the fact that she was lost and driving miles and miles out of our way. I was in a very deep sleep.

When I mentioned my symptoms to a doctor treating my daughter, he stated that I needed to increase my thyroid medication. This helped for a while, but only a short time later I was feeling as badly as ever. Added to my chronic yeast infections, allergies, and other strange symptoms such as fibromyalgia, I was also diagnosed with cytomegalovirus. My husband, also a medical doctor, was never able to help me find the cause of my symptoms.

Then one day a patient in the emergency room where my husband was working told him about the work of Dr. Wilson. Within a few short weeks, my daughter and I were both Dr. Wilson's patients. We finally had the answer for our bizarre symptoms.

The stress I am under at present would put many people in the hospital. I'm convinced of it. Yet, I am now able to continue, so far, without even one day being sick from the many viruses that have attacked many people I know this winter. When my best friend called from home in another state, she had a terrible disease and was not finding much help, although her husband is a doctor. As she described her symptoms, I realized she had Wilson's Temperature Syndrome. Her husband was convinced to call Dr. Wilson. Now my friend is also finding help from her "strange disease".

I will be forever thankful for the work of Dr. Wilson and his discovery that helped me and two of the most important people in the world to me. He has given to us, and I am sure to many others, a quality of life that before would not have been possible.
 

The first time I heard the TV information about Wilson's Temperature Syndrome, my ears perked up. They were all there, all the symptoms I had been complaining about for years. The only thing that was missing was my name. I was skeptical. The axiom, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is," came to mind. Still I couldn't help but wonder could it be true? Still I did nothing about it. Hadn't all the doctors I had been to for years told me that nothing was wrong with my thyroid? It always tested in normal range, to the low side but still normal. I was told I needed to lose the fat, be less sedentary, and my blood pressure would come down along with the cholesterol and triglycerides, and my constant fatigue would vanish. That was all well and good, but how was I to accomplish it when I was just too utterly exhausted to drag myself out of the chair?

The decision to see Dr. Wilson came after my daughter, Cathy, showed me a brochure about Wilson's Temperature Syndrome. She informed me that several women in her office, including a mutual friend, were getting this treatment and they were all having great results. I discussed with our mutual friend the results she was realizing from the treatment. She was very pleased and I was very impressed.

I made an appointment with Dr. Wilson. After a number of lab tests, filling out five pages of medical history, and having a physical, I was ready for an evaluation. Dr. Wilson said that my symptoms and my medical history certainly suggested a depressed metabolism. But because of my high blood pressure, he was reluctant to start me on the treatment. After insisting on close monitoring, he agreed to take me as a patient. One of the first benefits I noticed after beginning to take T3, was my improved sleep patterns. Instead of waking a dozen or more times during the night (even though going right back to sleep), I was sleeping through the night and awakening in the morning more rested and refreshed. Soon after, I became aware of a decrease in the chronic fatigue with which I had been beleaguered for years. It was so good not to feel totally exhausted all the time. For a decade or more, I felt as if there were heavy balls and chains attached to my arms and legs as I tried to move around. Finally, someone had found the key to unlock them. The next thing I became conscious of was a small budding and growing energy level. It had been so long since I had had any energy that it was hard to recognize at first.

Dr. Wilson had asked me on my first visit, "If this treatment could only accomplish one thing, what would you want it to be?" My answer, "To feel good and have the energy of a normal person." He asked me for an assessment of my perception of my energy level compared to a "normal person." I replied, "About 25 percent." At this writing I perceive my energy level to be about 90 percent of normal and still growing. What a blessing.

After several months of treatment when I began feeling much better, Dr. Wilson suggested that it was time to chose a good nutritional diet and begin an exercise program to promote weight loss. I had tried for years to diet, but even if a few pounds came off, they seemed to come right back with a few more for company. And when I tried to exercise, lethargy, that was my constant companion, soon canceled that out. But this time it worked. I had enough energy to at least begin exercising regularly and with the diet the weight began to come off. As the weight came off, I was able to increase my exercise. As I increased my exercise, more weight came off and my energy level continued to rise. It's amazing, but I have become hooked on exercise - me, the original couch potato. Three to five times a week, I walk 4 miles exercising my arms with 2 pound weights as I walk. Also I exercise 45 minutes or more every day. In addition, I have organized and run a weight control support group at my church once a week. Things are looking up. Friends and acquaintances, especially those who haven't seen me in several months keep remarking, "You look marvelous, you look 25 years younger." That's good to hear, but what is really great is that I feel 40 years younger. Oh I forgot to say, I'll be 62 in August and haven't felt this good since my early 20's.

Dr. Wilson suggested that I might enjoy decreased fatigue when I began treatment. There were some things though, that he forgot to mention. The improved elasticity and tone of my complexion, the loss of the "turkey waddle" from my neck, the addition of body to my hair (perms take better and last longer and sets last to the next shampoo).

My general health is much improved. There is more resistance to illness. Colds which have plagued me all my life come less often and are less severe. Also they are not progressing to sinus and ear infections or bronchitis as they have for the past several years. My blood pressure which was dangerously high (at one point 210 over 110) came down to the point where my medication for it had to be cut in half. Dr. Wilson suspects that I may be able to go off the blood pressure medicine completely.

When I realize just how much help I have received with this treatment and how much better I feel and look it seems almost miraculous and the solution was so simple. I keep trying to spread the news to others who are suffering as I did for so long; not sick, just half dead: there is help out there.
 

Since starting treatments I have finally been free from migraine headaches. I took Fiorinal on a daily basis whenever I got a headache so as not to go into a full blown migraine. When the Fiorinal didn't work I was given Darvon. I was also sent, on occasion, to the emergency room for a shot, because the pain was so intense. It was humiliating because they seemed to act as if I was faking just to get a shot of pain killer, as if I enjoyed waiting for hours to get stuck with a needle. I have had to take nothing for pain for the past two years, because I no longer have headaches, much less migraines. Thanks, Dr. Wilson.
 

I am a 40-year-old housewife. I have been seeing Dr. Wilson for one year and continue to go to him for treatment for Wilson's Temperature Syndrome. Prior to learning about Dr. Wilson I was suffering from the following symptoms: migraine headaches for over 20 years, constipation, fatigue, dry skin, fluid retention, dry hair, brittle, peeling and splitting soft nails, easy bruising, lack of sweating, allergies, frequent colds, heat and cold intolerance, itchiness, decreased hair and nail growth, cold hands and feet, slow wound healing, ringing of the ears, and a continuous low body temperature (97.1 degrees).

I consulted several different doctors: a family practitioner, an endocrinologist, an internal medicine specialist, a neurologist, and an ear-nose-throat specialist for all my symptoms listed above. I had to take blood test after blood test, complete physicals, upper and lower GI series, x-rays, EEG, EKG, CAT scan, RAST, pollen and food allergy testing. All the tests that were performed came back negative except for the allergy test. However, I was taking the allergy serum shots for pollen and food allergies for approximately 1 1/2 years when I discontinued the treatment because it was not helping me and the costs were very expensive. I had suffered for so long (20 years) with migraine headaches that I had the doctor admit me to the hospital and run the necessary tests and x-rays to be sure that I did not have a tumor or blood clot on the brain. I had gone to the neurologist in 1976 and 1977, and was admitted again to the hospital by a different neurologist in 1977 and had more tests done in 1978 by another neurologist. All the tests came back negative and the doctor could only prescribe Cafergot medication to take prior to the onset of the migraine headaches. The medication never worked and I continued to suffer until I went to Dr. Wilson for treatment in April of 1990.

I could not understand why none of the doctors could find anything wrong. I was angry with the medical profession because they could not help me from my suffering and pain. I did not know where to turn and it affected my life with my family and my work. I was constantly sick with migraines, colds, fatigue, and no energy to do anything or go anywhere with my family.

I missed a lot of time off work because of my migraines and being sick with colds. The job was very stressful and I started to have chest pains, stomach pains, and nausea. The more work that was put on me, the more stress I carried around with me, which, in turn, affected my health. Gradually my body's health went down and stayed down. I would continue to have new symptoms causing me to worry more, adding stress which only made the symptoms worse.

I can remember laying on the couch with a migraine headache in March of 1990 when I saw the information on television about Wilson's Temperature Syndrome. I took the number down, discussed it with my husband, then contacted Dr. Wilson's office for a consultation. At that time it was explained what Wilson's Temperature Syndrome is and how it affects your health, what the symptoms are, and how your nationality may be connected to Wilson's Temperature Syndrome. I was intrigued since it was pointed out at that time to me, before I ever mentioned my nationality, that the syndrome seems to be more common in patients whose ancestors survived famine (such as Irish, Russian, and Polish). They seem to get the syndrome more easily with the most prone combination being Irish, part Indian, and partly Polish. I had all the symptoms and the nationality Irish and Indian going for me. So I felt that he may be able to help me, and understood how much suffering and pain I was in and had been for practically all my life.

After starting treatment, I noticed some slight changes for the better and as my temperature continued to become normal, my migraines went completely away. (I had been to doctors for migraine headaches for 20 years and was put on Cafergot, pain pills, etc., but nothing helped.) I have less bruising, less fatigue, less constipation, and less fluid retention. I am still under Dr. Wilson's care and will remain so because his treatment is helping me to live my life again. What I found so amazing is that when the body temperature runs below 98.6 some of the symptoms that were gone, come back. When I am put under a lot stress that causes my temperature to become abnormal and drop below 98.6, it takes about a week to get the system back to normal again and then I notice my symptoms disappearing. I have never felt this good in my life. I recommend the treatment for just migraines alone.
 

The most serious of my physical complaints were a general fatigue/depression, severe indigestion/dyspepsia/flatus, and night sweats. I also suffered from dry itchy skin, brittle hair and nails, constipation, frequent respiratory infections, frequent and severe migraine type headaches, debilitating pain in my feet, ankles, and finger joints, and occasionally, a tender abdomen "in the upper right quadrant." Frequently I found bruises on my extremities and could not relate them to any apparent injuries. I was also experiencing difficulty with memory, particularly when I was under job stress. Often I would read the same paragraph two to three times unable to concentrate. I was constantly making long lists to be certain not to forget a project of commitment. This was particularly disconcerting due to the high level of job functioning required in my position as vice president of operations of a 579 bed community hospital. In the past two years I also became irritated by happenings that previously were tolerated. It was noticed by my husband and especially my secretary.

When my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer in early 1990, the stresses were exacerbated and I became less able to cope due to the additional responsibilities of her care. It seemed that my personal stress level at work, my general feeling of "ill health," and my mother's illness were too much. I resigned my job which I probably would not have done at that time if I had been better able to cope.

As I learn more about this disorder, I can recognize the beginning of the symptoms 20 years earlier. At age 30, after having 4 children in 6 1/2 years, relocating 5 times in 8 years, I was diagnosed by a rural doctor as having a mild thyroid condition. He did not use blood tests but took my oral temperature, blood pressure, and checked knee jerk reflex. My blood pressure/temperature were low and reflexes sluggish. At that time, I was placed on a small amount of thyroid even though I was about 10 to 15 pounds over normal desired weight, I quickly lost weight and felt good. We relocated, however, in 12 months and I was not able to have the prescription renewed. Each MD after that stated that I did not have a thyroid deficiency.

In 1976, I had a total hysterectomy with a traumatic post surgical wound infection. Within several weeks, I returned to my high pressure job, but it seemed that I began to feel progressively worse. Even though I was an excellent job performer, my heart was no longer in my work. My weight began to increase 5 to 6 pounds per year; I noticed that my oral temperature was about 1 degree below normal. On visits to the physician, I would explain my symptoms and state that I had previously taken thyroid. The physician would complete an EKG and blood chemistry profile and tell me that I was very healthy. Once I even visited a psychologist who also informed me that except for mild depression due to my job stress, I was very healthy even mentally.

Last fall was the first time I recognized that my symptoms were possibly related. I scheduled a visit with Dr. Wilson. I could hardly believe it. It became so obvious. I have been under treatment for 3 to 4 months. My body temperature is not yet totally stabilized, but I feel like a new person. The joint pains have completely disappeared. I started a 1,200 calorie diet 5 weeks ago and I'm losing about 2 1/2 pounds per week with no difficulty. The fatigue and depression have been eliminated. My nails and hair are growing back. My nails are also stronger. The chest pains, indigestion/ dyspepsia/flatus are gone. My quality of life has improved a 100 percent and my husband and I have even started playing golf and other recreational activities together that we have not done in years. How I wish that 20 years ago this had been diagnosed. Even 5 years ago would have been a blessing.

I have recognized that other members of my family may also be suffering from the same disorder. And I'm looking forward to sharing my changed life with them in hopes that they also can be helped. At age 51, I lost 15 to 20 years of quality of life. I hope that others will not have to do the same. It is my desire that physicians be able to recognize this disorder and aid the millions of people suffering from it.
 

As a nurse and psychotherapist, I have given considerable time, attention, and thought to this common problem. Having tried traditional medicine through endocrinologists who consistently said my tests were within the normal limits and that they couldn't help me, and in many alternative therapies, I was convinced that my metabolism was unique. I had too many symptoms not to have a problem. After having sought answers through anything and everything, I finally encountered Dr. Wilson and his enlightened strategy. I now know there is hope and help. Before then I was depressed, thinking that hope and help didn't exist for me. I was and still am very relieved that there is a biochemical treatment for this life-sapping condition. My hope for physicians and patients is that physicians open their minds to different points of view because that's where most of the answers lie. I'm just thankful that I had the opportunity to be at the right place at the right time with an open mind. Dr. Wilson's help has unlocked the cage, that for me, was stealing my life. Now that I'm not so consumed with the problem, I can go on with my life's mission. Thank you again Dr. Wilson.
 

When I heard of Wilson's Temperature Syndrome Treatment Center I was, for the first time in many years, optimistic that someone might have discovered the key to helping me feel like life was worth living. I was frustrated. Here I was, a registered nurse with some record of success in helping others to get well and I couldn't find a way to get help for myself. The morning "ache all over feeling," headaches, more and more pronounced fatigue and trouble focusing lasted longer and longer each day and now encompassed most days. I was difficult to arouse by my door bell, telephone, or any outside stimuli. The increasing signs that my body wasn't functioning well (increased infections, skin problems, neurological problems, mental problems) were evident. It seemed to me that something was terribly wrong with my metabolism, but no physician could find a test to substantiate that, and I was becoming depressed. I had no doubt that my primary physician and the other specialists in a large clinic in Wisconsin were competent. I was afforded all the lab tests and evaluations they knew to pursue.

When the dermatologist suggested a psychological basis and the psychologist whom I had personally known agreed, it still seemed physiological, I felt cornered.
