I would like to start by saying that I came to this clinic after having being told that there was no chance of improvement for my conditions. I had had a lot of my life growing up ruined mostly by autism but also ADHD and childhood stroke. Having been rejected by other clinics in terms of treatment, Ruth stepped in to advise me and the laser equipment that I purchased has given me a lot of my life back. Before I launch into the changes in my life that have come about as a result as low light laser therapy, I will first praise the clinic itself and the transparency and professionalism with which my queries were handled.
I initially contacted the clinic expecting that I would be making an expensive trip to London and given how much I was suffering from my autism, I’d have paid anything for at least some sort of relief. However, I think that it speaks volumes that I wasn’t persuaded into taking the more expensive option and visiting London but was pointed towards devices that I could use to treat myself at home. I was even given a free remote appointment to explain the most optimal way in which to use one of the laser devices. Every single query I have had throughout my journey has been resolved promptly and with genuine care for my experiences. I would recommend this clinic to anyone looking to pursue LLLT, whether for themselves as an adult or for someone else.
I will now go into a brief summary of the myriad of positive outcomes that have come about solely due to the advice of this clinic. What I have experienced has been nothing short of miraculous and one of the biggest and most impactful changes has been the increase in energy levels and that my brain no longer feels like I am wading through treacle every day. It has meant being able to keep up with my university studies and be more productive generally. My ability to focus has improved so much that I am considering coming off my ADHD medication next time my psychiatrist asks if I'd like to.
I have not had an insomnia relapse and can cope better with change. I used to have insomnia so severe that I was unsafe to attend work and would lose pay because of it. This included being put on an anti-depressant drug for my insomnia that really damaged my memory and made it harder to learn and remember for years. Whilst I'm not as good in terms of memory as I was prior to this medication, laser therapy has improved this to the point that I can learn close to how I could before the terrible side effects. On the topic of insomnia, I used to be completely unable to sleep in a new place but recently, I went to a different city, stayed in a hotel and got my minimum amount of sleep required for me to function. I got up the next day feeling so good that I was able to study when I got home.
I do not suffer with sensory issues like I used to, which used to cause me a lot of embarrassment and pain when I was around a sound that would hurt my teeth as if hot needles were poked inside. Now I still don't like said sensory trigger but I can tolerate it and not have the shame of begging people to make it end.
Whilst I still can't connect well socially with others, I am able to be around people without feeling exhausted and not need a long break. I know that a lot of introverts will relate but what I suffered with was not merely introversion, it was severe enough to warrant a disorder label of ASD.
I am not completely out of the woods. I continue to struggle with grieving late diagnosis and everything that was taken from me and destroyed due to autism. I had so much of my symptoms and suffering alleviated after the first week and have been doing LLLT for just over three months at the time of writing. I can't wait to see if there are more improvements to come.
Thank you Ruth and thank you Laser Medicine London for giving me my life back. I finally have a means to fight back against a disorder that everyone told me couldn't be treated with existing therapies and won real victories. I wish you and the clinic all the best. I hope that you go on to transform many more lives.
