From Whispering to Walking 9,000 Steps: Overcoming Parkinson's Symptoms at bVital

He was God's gift. I mean, he is so friendly. He is so nice. He is so forthcoming. His whole staff is just remarkable. My name is Mary Jo Thompson. I am retired and I live in Eatonton, Georgia. Ever since 2016, I've had Parkinson's. It has gradually, like always, gotten worse. About a year ago, I could really feel that I was going down more than I had ever felt. longer than a year. I've had nausea. Just about all day. I, had lost my energy, always felt like I had kept on having lots of energy because I did a lot of aerobics, a lot of walking. But I could feel that going away. Sometimes it was kind of hard to even walk to the mailbox and get back, and my voice. You can hear me well, but I got down to a whisper. I couldn't even sing a lick. I've had pills. Just pills. Pills, pills. And I would have the nausea. And so I would talk to my neurologists about it, and, they were very kind and tried different things. But I think when they went to the extender, they have probably helped me the most. But, I just really feel like that was making my gut so bad. I try to look up different things about Parkinson's and how it's treated and how to treat it and whatever. So I just continued on and Doctor Eckel popped up and, when he did, I listened to his, video that he had. And when my husband got home, I told him, I said, I've heard something I want you to listen to. And so at that point, when we both listened to it, we thought we just check into it. And then, a little bit, we got a call that I was a candidate. So they sent us lots of testing. And I am so thankful they did, because that helped everything. And once I went there and I got my, VSL done, for the brain, at brain camp. it has made a phenomenal difference with me. Even my friends say you just look so much better. And I can just tell you feel so much better. And they're right. You don't want to go around, just with a sour face all the time. try not to, but when you have these issues, it's hard to smile. I wasn't sure I could continue my, water aerobics because I was having to get out of the pool sometimes early. My energy was just leaving, and I just, like, I looked a few minutes ago, and I'm already up to 9000 steps today. So, I've gotten back myself. That was more than we expected. They have your caregiver with you and he was as blown away as I was. It was just you get royal treatment. You are their focus. And there were three of us there. And I know at the end, when we gave kind of our testimony for being there, we all three were saying just about the same thing, how happy we were I had told my husband, I said, I'm going into this positively because it's going to come out positive. I just feel like it is. And I could not tell you. I mean, it was just like a gift from God. I would just like to get a shout out to all the staff, their doctors. I saw Doctor Wallace and I saw Doctor Lester as well as Doctor Eckel. You're their focus when they're working with you, you're their focus and nothing else. So I, really, really appreciated that.
