Real World Success

QV was born without a left arm. As a child she experienced conflict with her father who was an alcoholic and insisted that she wear a prostetic arm before she was emotionally ready for it. As she grew older she developed a compulsion to urinate frequently. The patient has a history of fibromyalgia with its attendant weakness and muscle pain, and also of bipolar disease which is well controlled on medication. Ultimately, with my support, the patient visited her father and confonted him. All of her symptoms immediately disappeared.
