I have been challenged by CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), autoimmune thyroid disease, and a Mast Cell disorder for over 5 years. These issues resulted in systemic, chronic inflammation affecting multiple systems of my body. I suffered from a long list of symptoms. I lost all of my energy and enthusiasm. Most days I was consumed with debilitating “brain fog” which made the most basic life tasks a challenge. I sought help from countless doctors, without resolution or even meaningful improvement. The challenges seemed insurmountable, and my emotional state was deteriorating rapidly. That changed when I found Dr. Michelle Sands! Dr. Sands took my entire medical history into account – the body, my mental state and support structures, and emotional well-being. She has a unique approach to treatment which manifests through his compassion, thoroughness, and enthusiasm for her patients’ well-being. Dr. Sands uncovered the hidden causes of my condition and explained the mystery of what I now know to be a complex illness. Her easy to follow treatment plan has me well on the path toward healing. And her entire staff was extremely helpful for any questions that came up. This will be the first year in several that I can resume my passion – hiking in the mountains! I am so grateful.
