Fibromyalgia was stealing my life
Cynthia, a 63-year-old woman living with fibromyalgia, was struggling every single day. She experienced overwhelming fatigue, brain fog, full-body pain, and coordination issues that made even the simplest tasks feel impossible.
“It felt like my body and mind were constantly fighting against me,” she shared.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that causes widespread pain in the muscles and joints, along with fatigue, cognitive difficulties, and tender points throughout the body. Women are disproportionately affected—making up 80–90% of all diagnoses. The condition is lifelong, and for many, it brings not just physical symptoms, but emotional exhaustion, anxiety, and isolation.
“My quality of life had completely declined,” Cynthia said. “I couldn’t focus. I spent most days in bed, too tired and in too much pain to do anything. It was incredibly isolating. Eventually, I decided to give acupuncture a try.”
That decision marked a turning point in her life.
“Meeting Dr. Mara and Dr. Harris was truly life-changing,” she explained. “At first, it was the small things—like feeling more stable walking on uneven ground, or having a few days where I wasn’t completely wiped out. That may not sound like much, but for me, it was huge.”
As treatment continued, so did the transformation.
“Now, flare-ups are almost nonexistent. I wake up without pain. I feel like I’ve gotten my life—and my soul—back. For the first time in years, I’m living freely, without the constant fear of overdoing it. I’m out again, enjoying life with friends and family. And it feels amazing.”
When Cynthia first came to Peachtree City Acupuncture, our team knew she was ready to reclaim her life. Together, we took small, steady steps—and those steps led to incredible progress.
“Thanks to Peachtree City Acupuncture, my mind is clear, my balance is strong, and I’m doing things I never thought I’d do again. After trying so many treatments over the years, acupuncture is the one that truly worked. I’m beyond grateful to Dr. Harris and Dr. Mara for helping me heal.”
