I had a DVT in my leg in March 93 and have since suffered from great discomfort as the clot left the vein damaged in the leg and higher up into the groin. It also created a lot of other problems with digestion, circulation, very low immune system and hence I was always catching any virus going. I also got terribly breathless although was fit and various checks but could not find anything wrong.
My main I problem though was that I could not stand for more than 30 seconds as the blood had difficulty in getting back to the heart through the damaged vein. I was having to wear thick surgical stockings which I would put on before I got up in the morning and would keep them on all day. I also for the last year used a pump which had a sleeve to go over the leg and which would inflate and deflate resulting in blood being pushed back up the leg. I would do this every morning before getting up and in the evening but was becoming increasingly reliant upon it and using it more frequently as it did appear to give me some relief.
I had (since having the DVT) 3 children which were then 6, 4,and nearly 2, and trying not to stand was terribly difficult. I had tried every type of healing I had heard of and had seen many specialists and was having weekly session of physiotherapy. My Physio then told me she had heard about Robyn.
I contacted Robyn at the end of February 2004 and started my sessions at the beginning of March. I had only told her about my leg and during my first session she also picked up on everything else and a few more, and told me that my Lungs were not fully developed which would not fit in with the breathing. I was not sure of what to expect but did feel very tired. After 4 sessions I could still feel my leg was quite bad and then told Robyn that! I was still using my electric pump which she was unaware I had. She told me to stop using it immediately as it was doing more harm than good with the electrical currents and I admit I was using it more and more and becoming reliant upon it, I also said that I was still using my surgical stockings and was also told to take them off and to throw them away. This was very hard for me to do and my leg was terrible for a few days but then after a couple more sessions was beginning to feel slightly better.
I was told to bath in Epsom Salts and Vinegar which I would do about 3 times per week, which did help me and Robyn told me to do this every time my leg started hurting and this is something I still do once each week. I suppose I had about 10 or 12 session altogether from the beginning of March until June and greatly looked forward to each one.
My leg is now much better and is continuing. The breathing is much better and so is my indigestion. I am still very careful with my leg and make sure that I dont stand for any length of time but can so many everyday things like shopping and cooking. I religiously do as Robyn told me to maintain everything and feel that I can heal myself (not to the same degree unfortunately) I now have a better quality of life, can wear sandals and go bare legged stand for longer without being in agony but most importantly do more with my children.I have not had a cold or illness for 9 months. I feel much more relaxed (I don't know whether my husband would agree !!). The Healing really has changed my life and I am eternally grateful.
