Rediscover Hope by listening to how others recovered from ME/CFS/Fibromyalgia:
During my illness, one of the most deflating things was not hearing other people recover from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or recover from Fibromyalgia or POTS. Hence one of the things I really wanted to do was collect and share Fibromyalgia Recovery Stories, CFS Recovery Stories, POTS Recovery Stories and Multiple Chemical Sensitivities Recovery Stories to give hope to people still suffering with this illness.
If you know someone who has recovered, please ask them to contact me to share their story or if you yourself have recovered from this group of illnesses, please contact me directly here.
Best wishes,
Dan
