Summary
Louise, who had a prior history of anxiety and depression, developed post-viral fatigue after stress-induced poor sleep escalated into flu-like symptoms, severe muscle and joint pain and a sore throat that left her unable to work. Amitriptyline, rest, pacing, relaxation exercises and Reiki gave only partial benefit. Four sessions of Mickel Therapy over about two months are credited with the turnaround, and she is described as fully recovered.
