In 16 weeks of treatment at Sponaugle Wellness Institute, Dr. Sponaugle reversed a host of Sheila’s symptoms: including depression, immense brain fog, memory loss, fibromyalgia, joint pain, Neuropathic pain, fatigue, tiredness, and an eventual ‘foot drop.’*
While at Sponaugle Wellness, Sheila had effectively won an enduring, four-year battle with Lyme Disease.
Sheila, an Arizona native, contracted Lyme while in the forests of the southeast United States. Her descent was typical: she discovered a bullseye-like rash and became flu-like. Her local doctor, however, dismissed it as the then-prominent Swine Flu.
During the next several months, Sheila began to experience profound pain in her extremities, dense brain fog, tremors, and the development of a ‘foot drop.’*
When Sheila arrived at Sponaugle Wellness, her cognition issues and sickness had led to social withdrawal.
Today, Sheila is excited to share that her immune system is finally functioning again and that her body’s ability to fight future infection has been restored. In her words, she is back “on the path to wellness!”
