Last year I wasn't able to answer similar questions from you, George, but now I've had a full year of reference to be able to reply.

Did your treatments last year last for any length of time? .
Yes. Last November, I had arthritis in my hips so bad I could not walk more than about 25 feet max; absolutely was so painful. I was one week into the treatment last year when I went to the dan test in Boston, which would have been an impossibility otherwise, and it got better from there. How fast I forgot how bad-off I was. Hip problems never returned. In addition, Jung Shim brought life into my legs, especially my right leg. There are other problems in my back and leg that she also helped considerably.

Was there an improvement in your condition that remained for the entire year?.
It is hard to put a number on it, because I can’t slip into 12 months ago. But if I had to, I’d say 90% stuck [no pun].

Is this year's treatment having a better effect than last year's? .
The main purpose of this year’s treatment is different than last year’s, so of course the effect is different.
I’m not getting the “storefront” treatment, George, this woman is putting everything into it. I lay on a mat on the floor for from 1 to 2 hours, clad in only swimming trunks, and I’m literally covered from head to toe with needles. Jung Shim is using everything she knows to reduce and remove the residual paralysis in my legs. The problem is that the accident occurred 19 years ago which makes it more difficult to affect 100% change, and that may never happen. However, I’m free from pain much of the time now, havegreater mobility in my legs, and have sensations in my toes, feet, ankles, right up where there was either none or almost none or strange feelings that are indescribable.
Yesterday morning, my feet felt warm and were sweating for the first time I can remember since the accident. Before, when the cold damp weather of late fall came through early summer when the wet spring has passed, my feet and lower legs are almost always freezing and in pain, sometimes enough that I don’t want to take it anymore (good thing it doesn’t get that bad too often). I know no one else who can make an electric blanket turn cold when it is on except yours truly.
Friday morning I was able to workout in the basement with only slippers on my feet without a heating pad, and although near the end I started to feel the cold, maybe the way someone normally feels cold floors, I didn’t suffer and my feet warmed up again by themselves without a heating pad.
What I just wrote is the short story of what I go through on a daily basis, and what is happening in terms of improvement.
No matter how much I exercise my legs, they don’t get stronger, there’s nothing there. Van pushes me at the TC, I push myself when I give class, and when I practice solo, but they remain “dead” and weak. If I lay off for more than a few days, and you’ve never seen me that bad, they deteriorate fast.
Last November, there was some improvement in strength in my legs, but it was during the 3-1/2 weeks I underwent this woman’s treatment this happened.
Neat thing. The other day Jung Shim removed some of the arthritis in my fingers, the two joints I showed her that were most painful. It just worked; pain gone. Another: I had a dripping nose. She inserted a few [these WERE painful] needles, and for two days everything has been cleared up.
