As I currently reside out of state for school, I make a point to see Dr. Lim every time I am in town, which is about every four to six weeks. For many years I have been suffering from irritable bowel syndrome, irregular period and terrible menstrual cramps (painkillers do absolutely nothing for me!), tension headaches and migraines, chronic fatigue, frequent urination and body aches, especially in colder temperature settings. It has only been about a year and a half since I have been seeing Dr. Lim, but I am so much healthier now!

Basically, I used to be tired all the time. I tried sleeping more and tried to exercise, but I felt like I was getting nowhere. I had diarrhea at least three times a week, and more, if I was especially stressed that day. Also, I had to urinate literally every forty minutes. I had migraines practically every other evening, and sometimes my head hurt so much that I felt nauseous and had to vomit. Also, I was always so sensitive to cold temperature – if I stayed in an air-conditioned place for too long, my body would start aching. Oh, and menstrual cramps meant combination of all of the above just mentioned plus extra aches everywhere.

Although, I didn’t see long-term changes right away, I felt that every time I had the acupuncture sessions and the batch of herbal drinks made specifically for me by Dr. Lim, I would definitely notice some changes in my condition by second or third herbal drink. Also, Dr. Lim tells you what specific condition the batch of herbal drinks targets, so you can keep track of the changes. With the acupuncture, however, you can usually see the changes immediately. One time, I thought I would pass out from a severe migraine. But, when Dr. Lim placed few needles, the relief was literally instantaneous! No painkiller can compare!

I truly appreciate Dr. Lim and his detailed explanations. He is very frank and logical. He always tries to honestly explain what the source of the problem is, what he is doing, to what level he can treat, and what I need to do as a patient, such as simple lifestyle changes. As I am studying Western Medicine, we discuss in length about both fields. I have learned so much about Eastern Medicine, the pros and cons, its limitations and great potential. The more I learn, the more it makes sense, and I can actually see the results.

My health has improved so much and more importantly, is still improving. The conditions that I had were honestly those that could not be done much through Western Medicine, and I wanted to avoid medications to only temporarily relieve the pain while doing nothing about the source. Now, I have diarrhea about two times a month, I urinate normally, I have occasional headaches – about once a week or none at all, and regular period with very minor menstrual cramps. And best of all, I am not so tired all the time! I feel energized for the first time in fifteen years. Stop suffering and go to Dr. Lim! You won’t regret it!
