Unsolicited Testimonials
"I have recently attended a clinic supported by a wonderful man called Prof
Davies in London.
My first appointment - it was almost like a dream, everything I said he wrote
down and made comments such as 'well of course', 'I understand fully', 'all this
is to be expected' and lastly the words I have been waiting for 'I will help
you'. I sat in stunned silence.
We went through the medication. There have been days where I felt rather
poorly, you have to give everything time, be strong.
I feel that FM has taken a very large part of my life. I have had it for 10
years, working as a nurse and teacher till I could do no more. I am only 57
years of age I have many things I want to do, I don't want to be that
person left on the beach while others go for a walk.......
I will carry on, I don't care how I feel as long as I feel better."
"Personally, I have heard only good things about Prof. Davies and his clinic. He
certainly seems to have the empathy and consideration, that is so important
to us all, coupled with a great knowledge of FM.
It's a delight to know that there are professionals in the medical
profession that can really apply their skills to help all us FMers, and
that we are seeking them out and getting the help we deserve.
I'm sure I won't be the only one to wish you continued success with your
treatment, It has certainly brightened up my day knowing that one of us is
suffering a little less today than yesterday."

" I would like to take this opportunity to thank both you and Professor J.E. Davies for what you have done for me. I must admit that I only sought out your clinic because I was in a state of absolute desperation and your advertisement was starring at me on my computer screen. The whole experience for me has been very surreal, because how can I feel so good after only 5 weeks, when I have suffered so severely for over 20 years. I have gone from a life where I was unable to do anything for myself, to walking around, making coffee, cooking, as well as numerous other things; but the best thing ever was being able to give my grandson a big cuddle for the first time ever. For that I thank you. To many, these acts may seem insignificant but to me it is all my hopes and dreams come true. I would like to say thank you to you for being very approachable, friendly, understanding and caring, for me, speaking to you made the whole experience less stressful and comfortable (sorry I don't know how else to describe it). I would also like to thank Professor Davies for making it possible for me financially to be able to afford to attend the clinic and for giving me the opportunity to experience life again. It does feel as though I have experienced a miracle. I would also like the thank Professor Davies' secretary who again is very helpful, approachable and friendly. It’s like a miracle, I had no life four weeks ago, now I’m painting a wall. I feel absolutely brilliant. My pain level before your treatment was terrible, now it’s controllable. I couldn’t do anything physical before on my own. Your treatment has turned my life around. I’m very impressed with your clinic, it’s money well spent. Your treatment has totally changed my life. You’ve saved my life. On a scale of 1-10 (10 worst) pain reduced by 8 or 80% reduction in pain!” Jenny Dighton.11/07/05
"My pain is 50% reduced from the inpatient Lignocaine." P.B.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the very warm welcome my husband and I received on our recent visit to St. Joseph's. Since my consultation and treatment there has been a noticeable improvement in my condition. I feel less pain and have been able to concentrate more. Also I am finally getting some wonderful nights sleep! I cannot express how much this improvement has made to my life and is truly appreciated." L. Bennett
"Both trigger point and Botox injections have given me very good pain relief. I'm no longer bed bound" D.N.
"I feel much better after the Lignocaine injections, it's the first time I've been well enough to go out on my own in 3 years." B.I.
“The medicines Professor Davies has prescribed for me have helped a lot." C.C.

I'm feeling much better, after the trigger point injections, I can lift my arm for the first time in years, almost no pain at all during the day and only a bit at night." E.F.
"After the injections I can sit up straight for the first time in 2 years." H.M.
"I have to admit that I was very apprehensive, and perhaps a little sceptical, when you first suggested that I might try intravenous Lignocaine. But when you've had Fibromyalgia for any length of time then you are usually game to try anything! The treatment itself was painless and remarkably free of side effects - just a little nausea on the last two days. The hospital staff at the Princess Grace are friendly, helpful and genuinely interested in the condition and the treatment. The accommodation is comfortable and the food delicious! As to the overall effect - I have to admit that I had forgotten what it was like to be pain free. However, for eight weeks following the treatment that is exactly what it was. In fact the Professor said that I looked like a 'new woman' when I went for my follow-up appointment and that was after a two-week walking holiday in the French Alps! I have photos to prove that I really did walk to the top of the Lac Blanc! Interestingly, the first benefit was a complete clearance of 'brain fog'. My thoughts were focussed and sharper - I stopped having to search for the 'right' word. Then I started to sleep for hours at a time - something that I haven't done in years. Now nearly twelve weeks on, the pain is beginning to creep back. At first it was just in my finger joints, but is now returning to my neck and hips. My sleep patterns are also becoming disturbed again. Whilst this is very depressing at least now I know that there is something (and someone) to call on when the going gets very tough. Most of all, thank you for your help" Liz Bailey

“My daughter graduated from University this week! Nothing too special about that, it happens to thousands of students all over the world! Not in this case, my darling daughter was, at the age of 14 diagnosed with severe M.E., too ill to attend school ever again, not even well enough to cope with home education. Bed bound, house bound and suffering from all the dreadful incapacitating symptoms associated with M.E. we tried to find any help possible for her both through the NHS and privately. We were dismissed on most occasions, with indifference, anger and apathy by doctors, who at the time, understood very little about the complaint. After a year and spending hundreds of pounds on various ‘cures’ we heard and read of a clinical trial conducted by a Dr Teitelbaum in the USA. Here at last was proof that help was available for sufferers of M.E. This led us to The London Clinic for Fibromyalgia and M.E. who incorporated aspects of the protocol in their treatment of patients suffering from M.E. and Fibromyalgia. My daughter was one of the very first patients at the Clinic and it is without doubt that she would not have reached the level of health she has today without the considerable empathy, help and sheer determination of Professor Davies and Dan Austen, his Clinical Co-ordinator, in providing the necessary treatment to improve her condition. We are eternally grateful to both of them. Although not a 100% healthy she has a quality of life now that I would have given my right arm for in those dark and distant days. Oh yes, did I forget to mention that my daughter is studying for her Masters degree next year!” Mrs Angela Joyce, 18th July, 2005
“Before your treatment I was in such pain I was on morphine, but after the Inpatient lignocaine and the medicine Prof. Davies prescribed for me I was able to stop it and I felt 80% better”. P.B. 7.11.05
