Healing Moriah through PEMF Therapy
Hi, thank you for taking the time to read more about what Moriah is going through and a little about her journey thus far. For those who know her, know she is smart, loving, beautiful and kind! She'd do anything for anyone and now it's time for us to do the same for her. She needs our help, please read her story from her sweet mom, Andrea:
"It has been a long road. When Moriah was 4 years old, she started coming to our bedroom on a nightly basis, crying and saying her body hurt. For the first couple of years, her pediatrician dismissed it as nothing more than growing pains. But as the years passed, she found no relief and a series of other issues were manifesting. Scoliosis, an enlarged aorta, Haglund’s disease on her feet, pulmonary issues, problems with her eyes, problems with her teeth, she bruised and fatigued easily and was finding little relief from her pain.
We were seeing doctor after doctor and specialist after specialist, having test after test but no one seemed to be looking at all her issues collectively. Moriah went through many tests & many medications, but no one had answers about what she was dealing with. When she was a Sophmore in High School our doctor declared she believed we were dealing with a connective tissue disorder, but said to determine which one could be quite difficult as there are hundreds of connective tissue disorders. Finally, when Moriah was 20, our current doctor established that Moriah is dealing with Ehlers-Danlos Hypermobility type (EDS). EDS patients have a defect in their connective tissue that provides support to many body parts such as the skin, muscles and ligaments. The fragile skin and unstable joints found in EDS patients are the result of faulty collagen which is a protein in the body that acts as the “glue” to hold everything together.
About 6 months ago, her disease started progressing at a very rapid rate. Moriah has become primarily bedbound. She is no longer able to work or drive and spends most of her time isolated and alone in pain. There have been many days when Moriah spends her days in bed crying and screaming for us to cut off her limbs, thinking somehow that would give her relief from her pain. Moriah has been on a myriad of pain medications, including Vicodin, Morphine and Methadone, but because EDS patients have a resistance to pain medication and build up a tolerance very quickly, they had little to no effect. As her mother, I can tell you there is no greater anguish than to watch your child suffer so terribly and have absolutely no means to help them.
Our doctor recently suggested we try another method of pain management known as PEMF. We bring her in for treatments twice a week. This magnetic mat therapy has helped Moriah more than any other treatment she has tried. Within hours of being on the magnetic mat, she finds relief from her intractable pain. Unfortunately, it only lasts for short periods of time and the doctors say in order for Moriah to see the full benefits, she should be one a mat three times a day, every single day. If we could get her a mat tomorrow, we would. But it is not covered by our insurance and we have been a bit overwhelmed with Moriah’s medical expenses and are not currently in a position to buy the mat that she needs."
These systems aren't cheap, but they are life changing! If you can help in any way, we would greatly appreciate the support. Your thoughts and prayers are also extremely important to the Torri family. Please reach out if you have any questions at all. Blessings to all who read this and to all who have touched Moriah's life in any way. Thank you!
