I saw Irene after months and months of anguish with what seemed at the time an allergy. The Drs had tested me for a number of ailments and allergy tests costing me over $300. This was back in 2005. I was so unwell. I had swelling that would come up on my body in different spots daily then it would go down and leave massive welts like a bruise. I went to Drs,, and would just walk out with a prescription, a few times I went to emergency and was I continually given steroids and all this was doing was masking the issue that no one could find the cause. For months I took steroids. But it was getting worse everyday.
I was told about Irene by a colleague.
I went to see her, she was booked up and busy but I took a cancellation appointment. The day I walked into see her she looked at me and she looked at some photos I had taken of this swelling and bruising, straight away she knew what I had and that the drugs the drs were giving me were only making it worse. I was 2 months out from my wedding and she worked with me to get well by that date. I burst into tears as I walked out of her office. Because finally someone knew what was wrong and how to help me heal. For that I am forever grateful.
