Dear Barbara and staff:

It works, it really works? The testimonials seemed too good to be true when you've heard it all before from every doctor you have seen for your enuresis. Every doctor I had been to failed utterly to diagnose or treat me, and I have been to quite a few…endocrinologists, urologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, the list goes on, and the list of doctors yet to see was still expanding when we heard about the Enuresis Treatment Center. I have sought treatment for my enuresis since I was 11! I have taken all the wonder drugs and pills that were guaranteed to cure, none of which ever did. I was starting to think a cure would never come, and I was willing to do just about anything for one. I had taken Tofranil and a number of obnoxious nasal sprays, none of which ever did the trick. We tried waking me up in the middle of the night, limiting my water intake before bed, offering rewards for dry nights, and countless other at-home therapies, then we resolved that I would outgrow it…I was told it would take care of itself when I hit puberty, when it didn't happen then, I was told simply that my cycle had to get regular, it might take a year or so more. So I waited. Still no change. Then some one casually mentioned that if I got pregnant, it might resolve itself…Needless to say, I didn't view pregnancy as an option at the age of 16. So I did some research into phantom pregnancies, a procedure involving an injection of hormones that would have convinced my body it was pregnant when in fact it wasn't. Then I had some blood work done to see if the enuresis was hormonal in nature…if such a procedure could have worked…the results? I was as healthy as the proverbial horse, and there was no evidence whatsoever that anything was remotely wrong with me. So, any kind of hormone therapy wouldn't work anyways, I was tired of hearing "just wait, you'll grow out of it…" I have been waiting for 20 years! When is this "growing out of it" going to start happening? Finally, I heard about you, and looked into it. Just one visit, a few months and several phone calls later, I can say I'm cured. I just wish I had known about it sooner, or that maybe a doctor had bothered to refer me to you in the first place. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I'm now 20 years old, and I feel free
