I came to Dr. Sally Moorcroft after my GP had been unable to offer me a suitable treatment for my menopause symptoms which were impacting my quality of life. I was suffering hot flushes, headaches, general aches, a lack of energy, forgetful and foggy mind and difficulty sleeping. After suffering with these for over 2 years I went to visit Dr. Sally to seek some relief, after a full and thorough consultation she recommended a treatment plan and within a month of starting the treatment I felt better which was fantastic.

Erin came to consult with Dr Sally Moorcroft having struggled with her condition of chronic dizziness, chronic fatigue syndrome and endometriosis for a long time. Erin had tried conventional medication and although it had some benefit with some of her conditions and improved them somewhat, it failed to address the root of the problem or provide enough relief for me to live a ‘normal’ life.

Erin explains “I had severe and chronic dizziness that left me wheelchair-bound, along with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome which caused significant sleep problems and extreme fatigue, as well as pain from diagnosed endometriosis that would not go away.

I had been suffering with my illnesses for several years. I had been forced to put my education on hold due to the severity of my illness, many of my hobbies had been physical activities (such as dance, horse riding, and martial arts) which I could no longer do due to being wheelchair-bound.

I developed depression due to my restricted movement and the life events I had been forced to miss out on, and my overall life was incredibly restricted and confined to limited activity and social interaction.

Following on from my treatment with Dr. Sally Moorcroft I felt an immense relief, as I was able to gradually return to a lifestyle that I had thought I’d never see again. Not only that, but I felt stronger and much more confident in regards to looking after my own health, and feeling more in control about my circumstances, which I hadn’t felt in a long time.”

Erin started noticing the benefits within the first few appointments, and the effects only continued to grow the longer she continued treatment. Erin has now started to work significantly on her exercise regiment and going to the gym often, as well as putting more effort into starting up her physical hobbies again. She is putting more effort into her diet, ensuring she focuses on a balanced diet and paying attention to how she nourishes her body. She has also been taking more time in enjoying life outside of those aspects, making sure she enjoys her hobbies like theatre and music, alongside making sure she has the healthiest lifestyle she can.

I had a stressful start to 2021 and added to this my diet wasn’t very good, looking back it never had been. I always had a lot of sweet things and drank abit too much alcohol over the years and used Ibuprofen painkillers a lot for my arthritis. All of these things I have learnt can contribute to gut health problems leading to autoimmune disorders and inflammation. In April 21 my body broke out in a severe rash and redness all over my back, chest, arms and head; with open cuts breaking out on my temples. Conventional creams superficially alleviated my symptoms temporarily, but they kept flaring up.

Through my consultations with my practitioner at Orchard Barn and the nutritionist I improved my overall diet and learnt so much about how diet relates to health. My symptoms quickly improved, with the itching, soreness and redness quickly reducing and after 6 months my skin inflammation had gone completely. I intend to always continue on my new food plan as I feel healthier, my gut health has improved with my indigestion and heartburn stopping and I have lost ½ stone in weight.

The treatment got to the root of my severe eczema attacks and flare ups by improving my gut health and immune system and resolving the underlying inflammation in my body.It was by a process of very thorough discussions in order to identify the problems and what was causing them, and a very individual person-centred approach looking at all my symptoms, stress, food, drink, exercise and sleep. The dietary advice and food supplements were very helpful and had a positive effect.
