FALCON POWERS :
Dima was involved in a car accident several years ago.
Unfortunately, it was more than just a minor collision. A drunk driver swerved into her lane and cut her off, ultimately forcing her car to crash into the sidewalk at sixty miles per hour. The wreckage, smoke, twisted metal of her car, shattered glass in the middle of the street, and the smell of burning oil are just a few of the things that have stuck in her mind over the years.
Dima clearly remembers the accident, and she often repeats how grateful she is to have survived this difficult situation, but she says she hasn’t done it alone.
“I started that day just fine, carefree, without a worry in the world. And now, after the accident, I carry this pain with me. Chronic pain for years; I can’t sleep. And that makes me…” Dima sighs, “… it’s the hardest thing in my life. No sleep, a lot of medication, a lot of pain, no relief.”
Dima is not alone in her pain or her inability to sleep comfortably.
When her doctor told Dima that she might need surgery, she decided she was fed up.
“I will not undergo any surgeries anymore. Enough; I will make an appointment with another doctor and get a second opinion. I can’t live like this anymore. I need to sleep.”
Dima’s second consultation was more comprehensive. Dr. Shafa had been making a name for herself in the area over the past few years. She takes pride in helping patients recover from addiction and detoxifying their bodies from heavy metals, alongside her daily work as a resident expert in the university’s neurology department.
Dr. Shafa said, “I knew what the problem was here; I knew exactly what I would tell Dima. If you’re worried about your pain, you should first worry about your sleep. If your body doesn’t get rest and enter the sleep cycles known as REM (Rapid Eye Movement) for deep and true sleep throughout the night… you will feel pain, especially at this age.”
Dima was one of the first people to try Dr. Shafa’s Derila foam pillow.
Dima says, “At first, I thought she was crazy. A pillow? What benefit will I get from just a pillow? Dr. Shafa convinced me to try it for a week. I only tried it for four or five nights, and I knew she was right. By the end of the week, I was having the best sleep of my life!”
Dima says she still experiences some pain due to the accident, but for the first time in years, she can sleep through the night and wake up refreshed every morning.
