Following is an amazing testimonial from one of our clients. Read on to learn Whitney’s story and hear how we can help.
“This is the longest time I’ve went without pulling in 16 years!”
I have had trichotillomania since I was 8 years old (I’m 24 now) and I really wanted to try and find a way to decrease my urges to pull out my hair. I also have some anxiety and migraine headaches and wanted to see if I could get rid of them as well.
I read Dr. Oler’s free online report on trichotillomania and thought it made sense for me to attempt this. After reading other people’s thoughts and hearing about their results, I knew that it was something I needed to try.
Since I was 8 years old I’ve always had the urge to pull out my hair. The urge varies day to day, but it is always there. Sometimes it is something I can control; most the time I can’t. I started just pulling my eyelashes. As I got older I started pulling my eyebrows as well. When I was about 16 years old is started pulling on the top and sides of my head to the point where I had bald spots, but I could usually cover them up.
In addition to trich, I also have anxiety that varies from day to day but that is always there. I also have migraine headaches about twice a month.
I started seeing results within the first week of using the amino acids as Dr. Oler had recommended. The urge to pull was substantially less, so I was optimistic (I have had periods in the past when the urge was not as strong, but it this time it seemed to coincide with taking the amino acids – I guess time will tell). In addition, I didn’t have any migraines and my anxiety was much lower.
Dr. Oler made some adjustments and within another week I had almost no urge to pull, although there was a slight urge sometimes. However, I could easily resist it and had not pulled at all. My anxiety was pretty good, but I did get a headache when I got my period, although I took some Advil and it was gone. I was doing quite well, but wanted to see if I could feel better.
Dr. Oler made a couple more adjustments to my amino acid therapy. I’ve now been on the amino acid therapy Dr. Oler recommended for 4 months and I have not pulled since I started. I do occasionally have a little urge to pull, but I can easy ignore it. I haven’t had any headaches over the past 2 months and my anxiety is gone!
This is the longest time I have gone without pulling in 16 years! I am so grateful to Dr. Oler for helping me. My hair, eyelashes and eyebrows are all growing back in nicely and the bald spots are gone! I missed a few doses of my supplements when I had the flu, but the urge to pull did not come back (Dr. Oler told me that it might). This was amazing to me and I am so happy to be almost completely free of the urge to pull! Thank you Dr. Oler!!
