Summary
Uzma Qureshi had unexplained symptoms from her early twenties and by 27 was so weak her husband had to feed her; a practitioner suggested ME or chronic fatigue syndrome. She credits custom dental devices that corrected her jaw misalignment, after which her symptoms eased almost immediately. Nine months in she reported symptoms virtually gone and a return to work and overseas holidays.
