The Case of Aleta Austin
Aleta Austin is a 26-year-old woman who was seen by
an LPC during her first clinic visit. When asked what brought her in, Aleta explained, "I work as an aide in a nursing home, and I was lifting a patient up from a chair to her wheelchair. Well, anyhow, all of a sudden I felt this terrible and very painful snap in the back of my neck. I lost my balance
and fell on the floor. As I was falling, I hit my arm real
bad, too. The next thing I knew, I was in the hospital, and they were doing some X-rays and an MRI. The doctors said I sprained my neck, and I might have a
hairline
fracture of my arm. They put some kind of neck brace on me and said I had to wear it for two weeks. I
didn't
need to have a cast on my arm, but I was supposed to be real careful."
Aleta continued, "I wasn't allowed to work for six weeks, so I got workmen's comp—but the checks stopped when the doctors
said
I
could
go back to
work. It has been four months, and they say
that's
too
long
to have
pain
for the
injury
I got. So now I have
money problems on top of everything else but I don't care what they say, I still hurt." Apparently without
realizing
it, Aleta was rubbing her neck
while
she was
talking.
She went on, "After being discharged by those
doctors, I went to see several new ones. I thought, you
know, maybe the
first
ones
didn't
know what they
were
talking
about."
The LPC asked what other doctors Aleta
had
seen.
"Well, over the past three months," she replied, "I saw two orthopedic surgeons, one neurologist, two chiropractors,
and
a massage therapist. I was
given
lots of different medicines
and
treatments, but I
still
didn't
get much relief. One of the doctors
said
I
should
see a
shrink.
He thought my problems were
all
in my
head. Can you beat
that?"
Aleta sounded very
annoyed. "That
really
steamed me—doesn't he realize
I
really
want to go back to work
and
see
all
my friends
again? Not only that, does he think I
like
being in constant
pain?
Does he
think
I
like
taking
all
this
medicine and not
getting
any
relief
from
any
of
it?"
The
practitioner
asked
Aleta
about the medica
tions
she is currently using.
She answered,
"In
the beginning, they gave me
some
pain
pills
that helped some,
but
the doctors
won't prescribe
anything
for me now. They
think
I'm
getting too used to
all
the
pills.
Now I can only
take
over-the-counter stuff
like,
you know,
aspirin,
Aleve,
Tylenol, Motrin—but they don't do much good. Nothing seems to
help
nowadays."
When asked how she spent her days, she replied,
"I pretty much stay inside the house all day long. I have
a hard time finding a comfortable place to sit or lay down. My broth ...

How full throttle on demand helped me recover from a burn out.facedoctor
Full Throttle OnDemand is a premier sexual enhancement product designed specifically for use by men and women. We at Allure Imports Inc., have been in the male enhancement business for a while now and we have a unique understanding of the market for supplements that treat sexual dysfunction. What we have found is that any product that treats male sexual issues and ignores female sexual issues is only doing half the job. We have also found that any product, whether it is a prescription medication or an herbal supplement, that focuses solely on improving physical sexual issues, while ignoring the areas of arousal and libido is not doing the job well.
We have crafted and redesigned the special formula contained in Full Throttle OnDemand to successfully address male and female sexual enhancement issues both physical and psychological. That's our promise.
