Rediscover Hope by listening to how others recovered from ME/CFS/Fibromyalgia:

I have read your books and the recovery stories and would be interested to know if any of your case histories are in their 60’s and have other illnesses to contend with. I have a diagnosed under active thyroid and take thyroxine I also have MGUS. My CFS was diagnosed by process of elimination by my GP but no support offered. I have had a year of CBT and my symptoms just got worse. Acupuncture does help as does seeing a homeopath but the improvements are short lived and the crashes more often and intense. I get stressed by the… Read more »

I was inspired by Beth’s story because of the emotional and spiritual aspects of her recovery. Although the primary expression of my emotional and spiritual illness was mental illness, the story of our recoveries is remarkably similar. I could really relate to the push and crash that she described. In fact, my diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder is indicative of that! I was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia, which I see as primarily triggered by all the stress and toxic medications prescribed to me. I even became addicted to opiates, from which I recovered when I saw it was not a treatment,… Read more »

Hey Dan, Thank you very much for sharing your story! As a physician suffering from the same illness, over the last three and a half years I came to the exact same conclusion as you did – a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system! Only that can cause that level of incapacitating fatigue, and also affect so many body systems. You had said “and my fibromyalgia pain became more prominent during the second half of my six-and-a-half-year illness.” So during this second half, when your fibromyalgia became more prominent, how was the severity of your fatigue? Did it get better,… Read more »

Thank you!

Hi Dan,

So How does ANS rewire takes place? what I need to do to fix the ANS issue. Should reading your book will have answers or I need to buy something from this website. I read here a lot about supplements and I myself is taking supplements. My main symptom is pain but fatigue is also there. fatigues has been little better with supplements.

Thanks
Shweta

Thank you so much for taking the time to collect and share these collection of stories Dan. I’m 7 months into my 3rd episode of glandular fever, so I think it now qualifies as chronic fatigue. Neither of my last 2 episodes were this long or complicated. This time it’s got progressively worse since I first noticed it in March this year, and now I’m mostly bedbound and pretty foggy in the brain. but so far I still have good sleep, digestive health and low pain. To tell the truth, while the recovery stories are very inspiring, it is also… Read more »

Thank you Dan : )

Ive been ill for 30+ years & have tried everything to only end up on opioids that dont even work yet have horrific side effects. Im so sick of being so ill on many levels. Was diagnosed with FM in the year 2000 & take anti deps, anti infalms & opioids as well as many many supplements that I dont even know if theyre working as Im still so sick, tired, exhausted & suffer pain 8/10 everyday. Morning stiffness, RLS, depression, arthritis, bone on bone, laberal hip tear, have had lumbar disectomy & fusion in L5 S1, Im badly constipated,… Read more »

Hi Dan, I am Kotryna. I am just 2-3 months into the illness and throughout last month when I’ve been on sick leave, thankfully I managed to do all possible tests to realise it is PVFS or CFS (I do think it’s the same, even if they don’t call it CFS yet as it’s couple of months) and glad I did it before I am bedboud 100%, while I can still invite friend for some time, and get out for little walk, see therapists from time to time, even if some weeks I feel crap, other days can be better.… Read more »

Hi Dan. Love the recovery stories. I watch one first thing every morning to make sure I start the day on a positive footing. I wonder whether you can tell me where I can get the piano music that you use at the beginning and end of each video? The music is very moving and every time I hear it I am reminded of your inspiring videos. It would be great, for example, to use it as my daily alarm on my phone, so the first thing I hear each day is a positive reminder that recovery is possible. Thanks,… Read more »

Hi Dan, Can I ask, from your experience of working with people with CFS, does the Lightning Process benefit most people? I did the course 3 years ago and couldn’t make it work for me . . . and in many ways it did more bad than good in that I have felt like a failure ever since – especially as my friend also did the course and had a wonderful result. The feeling of major failure when I put so much hope into the training – has led me into quite a cycle of depression. I suppose it would… Read more »

After beeing diagnosed with CFS/ME, MCS and Fibromyalgia the doctors gave me no hope on recovery. My life was full of agony, pain and obsticles. I was convinced that there must be a way out of it because living with it was not worth living. The ANS rewire program helped me get my life back. Now I can enjoy life to the fullest again. This program is very educational and therefore helping to regain health an also maintain healthy on the long term. Thank you so much for this great program and all the effort you put into helping people… Read more »

Hey, I’ve been suffering from post-viral fatigue (not sure if it’s cfs or ME). I’ve only had it since October really, and it’s gotten worse over Christmas, forcing me to defer my final medical school semester (such poor timing). I have profound exhaustion, myalgia but my severe brain fog has improved greatly. Have you seen people with post-viral fatigue recover without developing CFS/ME? I know they’re practically the same but does PVF ever spontaneously remit? I got your book anyway to address it proactively. Seeing as people recover after years of illness, surely I can only having it a few… Read more »
