Arlin's Story: Never Give Up. Arlin will Play Again.

Powerhealth Reno or Bust!
This story is being told with the assistance of a typist, due to Arlin's limited ability to use his hands. Although his strong voice and beautiful, loving spirit remain, Arlin continues to experience the devastating effects of long term, chronic pain and disability.

Just under five years ago now, he experienced what we initially thought was a repetitive stress injury, that rapidly spread throughout his body. Arlin is experiencing severe and widespread chronic pain, atrophy, lack of motor function and mobility and symptoms of extreme muscle tightening, peripheral neuropathy-like burning and aching, chills, extreme hot and cold, atrophy and weakness  in his neck, back, chest, arms, hands, legs and feet in addition to infections in his eyes, nose and ear and extremely severe dermatitis. 
He's unable to stand or sit for more than short periods of time or in any position he chooses. He is limited in his mobility as far as bending or laying down whenever he wishes.
He is unable to run, cook, clean, carry bags or packages or do anything functionally beyond his own personal care and eating and some light physical therapy with little to no weight. 
In spite of these challenges to his independence and finances, Arlin has not given up hope or his positive attitude. 
Over the years he's been to many Dr.s and no one has been able to diagnose him or treat him. Some, were unaware, others were without the ability to help him due to insurance or lack of resources. 
It's clear to Arlin and his current Healthcare Providers both Medical Dr.s and Alternative Healthcare Providers that Arlin is experiencing symptoms of Chronic Pain and Neuropathy and there is a strong suspicion of Auto-Immune Disease.  It's taken many years of research for us to find a clinic that we believe can help. 
Arlin is an excellent candidate for Power Health Reno. The clinic is unique in that it offers research and evidence based Medical Expertise in addition to alternative approaches to healing which is essential to patients who are experiencing chronic pain because it is so debilitating and there are little to no options in the world of Modern Medicine. Power Health Reno offers what they call Functional Medicine, which provides detailed and individualized healing plans that integrate all aspects of the patient's experience into one holistic plan of care. Although Arlin has not played music since he fell ill, he believes in himself and we all believe in him and that Powerhealth Reno is his best shot. Powerhealth Reno require an initial diagnostic visit onsite in Reno, followed by a treatment protocol comprised largely of Physical and Nutritional Therapy.
The clinic is self-pay and treatment can go into the 10,000 range.  In the event that there is a surplus of funds, the additional funds will be used solely for the purposes of Arlin's Medical Care.
