Rediscovering Life: Linda's Victory Over Long COVID
Linda was a ray of sunshine for everyone who met her. Living well meant embracing every moment! She loved to garden on her and her husband Ricky’s 2 acres outside of Senoia. She also loved weekly bridge night, catching up with other couples and living the retirement life to the fullest!
But in Fall of 2020 she contracted COVID-19, and everything changed. What began as a frightening illness morphed into a prolonged nightmare known as long COVID. The symptoms persisted long after the virus had left her system, turning her once lively existence into a constant battle against unexplained pain and fatigue.
Linda’s long COVID symptoms were a complex web of seemingly disconnected troubles. She suffered from chronic fatigue that left her bed-bound for days, excruciating joint pain that made even the simplest tasks unbearable, and severe brain fog that robbed her of her sharp wit and memory. Her heart would race unpredictably, leaving her breathless and frightened. These symptoms baffled doctors and specialists, who ran countless tests but found no definitive answers. Each visit to a new specialist ended in frustration and tears, as Linda was told repeatedly that nothing more could be done.
“I felt like I was lost in an endless maze,” Linda recalled “Every morning, I woke up hoping to find the way out and escape the pain and fatigue, only to be met with yet another dead end.”
Linda’s husband, Ricky, was equally desperate for a solution. He hated seeing his once lively wife reduced to a shadow of her former self. One evening, while lamenting Linda's condition with his golf buddy, Ricky heard about Peachtree City Acupuncture and the miraculous recoveries attributed to Dr. Mara Frank. Intrigued and desperate, Ricky convinced Linda to give it a try.
Skeptical but hopeful, Linda scheduled her Initial consultation. Dr. Mara Frank listened intently to Linda’s story, acknowledging the pain and frustration that had come to define her life. With empathy and expertise, Dr. Frank crafted a personalized plan of care that included acupuncture and ATP Bioresonance Therapy, designed to target the root causes of Linda's long COVID symptoms.
Linda's journey to recovery was gradual but undeniable. After a few months, she began to notice subtle changes. The crushing fatigue that had kept her bedridden started to lift, allowing her to make dinner. The relentless joint pain that had plagued her began to diminish, and the brain fog started to clear, restoring her sharpness and memory.
"I knew this was serious and it would take more than a few treatments to get me better. After 4 months of treatment I couldn't believe the difference," Linda shared, "For the first time in years, I felt like I was reclaiming my life."
Linda found herself not just managing her symptoms but truly healing! She began to re-engage with her passions, stepping back into her beloved garden and tending to her flowers with a joy she thought was lost forever.
Today, Linda’s life has transformed in ways she once thought impossible. She has returned to her active lifestyle, enjoying time with her grandchildren and rejoining her monthly bridge group. Her husband Ricky is also amazed by her transformation.
“Her garden, once overrun with weeds, is now alive again! I see it as a sign that she is coming back to life.” Ricky shares. .
