I nearly lost hope in managing my chronic illness, ever regaining my «old self» back, and living life to its fullest. Michelle gave that back to me. I was diagnosed with Grave’s Disease in January 3, 2014, I began my acupuncture appointments shortly after my diagnoses. My conventional doctors dissuaded me and made me feel hopeless in ever getting back my old self again without the use of thyriod hormone therapy and radioactive iodine therapy. I refused their opinions largely because I do not react to medications very well and I am breastfeeding and am concerned about side effects to my baby. Upon my first visit I had difficultly completing their new patient form to due my shaking hands and mild brain fog, symptoms from Graves. I met with Michelle and she sat down with me and discussed in length my symptoms and previous health and so on. We spoke for a good length of time. She was able to garner the missing pieces I’d left out in the patient form. Something I’ve not experienced with any medical professional before. I’ve seen Michelle weekly for about a little over a month, with the combined acuptuncture and natural medicine she’s provided I’m happy to say that I can see hope because I’m feeling more and more like me again. I can plan activities for my family and I can be happy and look forward to each day and the future. If you have an autoimmune disorder or if you need help healing and are searching for a health professional that truly cares about you, that is willing to work with you financially, and takes the time to understand your needs you can give Michelle a call. I will continue to seek treatment from Michelle because I feel that she genuinely cares and wants me to heal, I understand that my healing could take a long time, but at least I am not alone in this battle.
