Many people struggle to heal from ME and suffer a great deal, so it was especially interesting how Tim looks back at his struggles to recover from the illness.

Very good to hear this story of recovery . I am in my 3rd year and have been pretty much housebound for the past 6 months.

I have noticed recently that I am starting to really shift my ideas of a lifetime! Like worrying and ‘doing’ things all the time, now I see the importance of self care and observing. I knew before I got this I needed to make a huge change in my life and sadly maybe I needed to go through this journey to make these important changes! Here’s to… Read more »

Thank you Tim and Dan for sharing this. It’s so heartening to hear (from both of you) that you not only recovered, but *stayed* recovered.
