Liz Dyde’s Mind-Body Connection in Fibromyalgia
This interview started about Liz’s own story or recovery but quickly into a Practitioner’s Interview as we explored the Mind-Body connection in Fibromyalgia.
Liz shares how her recovery was accidental both times and how she only later understood how and why she recovered when she gained a deeper understanding in the mind-body connection and its role in Fibromyalgia.
She shares her experience in assisting people with Fibromyalgia and how recovery occurs as a journey.
Listen to her great insights:

Thank you very much for your recovery story, Liz .It gives us hope to continue!
Dan Neuffer you are very kind to share details of alternative treatment plans when you have an amazing comprehensive recovery strategy yourself, ” Ansrewire”
Thanks for your comment Farah. My aim was always to support people in whatever way I can, and hence I shared many stories of recoveries including those with programs that might be considered ‘competition’ to ANS REWIRE. Often, we resonate with different people, and so if someone finds that they prefer someone else or their approach, and it helps them, then I am happy to have helped them along in their journey! 🙂
I tried the contact info for Liz and it did not work. I would like to ask her a few questions and she seemed to be willing to answer those. Can you help with that? I have always known this was connected to my mind. My latest happened after I was diagnosed with EDS. suddenly after that diagnosis I had more symptoms of it than I ever did. This did not make sense to me. But the dr told me I had it and told me what the symptoms were. So I think my brain said ‘oK then” I guess we have this. I know that must sound strange. But she seemed to understand that.
Hi Candy – not sure what has happened there – I see her website is no longer up and will remove the link.
I haven’t been in touch with Liz for some time, you may have to search her out yourself if you wish.
However, I will address your query as best as I can.
Your experience is not unusual. If you watch the video explanation I provide above, you will see how I describe the root cause of ME/CFS/Fibromyalgia as being a brain dysfunction (primarily in the ANS). The ANS reacts inappropriately to stressors, including both the physiological stressors part of normal every day life (blood sugar fluctuations), as well as psychological stressors. It also forms triggers to things that are not even stressors per se (eg. MCS, EMHS). Certain thought patterns around the illness and symptoms can also become triggers or ‘confirmation’ thoughts, hence the exacerbation in symptoms that you have experienced (this is quite common).
You might also like to watch the in-depth explanation lessons that explain how this happens – you can request them here: https://cfsunravelled.com/ans-rewire/
Thank you for responding. I did find a web page for her. I notice that your program requires you to be diagnosed with CFS or a few others. Have you applied your program to other stress illnesses? More info may be in your other videos. I have only watched the first one. I own the DNRS program and that one does have success with other illnesses and they seem to be expanding their area of help. But I am having problems and believe I will need coaching to be successful. I know all the traumas and stress occurrences that made me the way I am. My personality changed after the emergency Section for my son 30 years ago. The next big change started with anxiety issues when I experienced a stress right after my parents died. Testing revealed lots of food sensitivities. And if I don’t fight, I would have very limited things I could eat. Then things took a serious down turn following a surgery that was very stressful and did not go well. After that I had a mouth piece take out my jaw, neck and balance probably due to surgery stress. Then the EDS diagnosis. So I have symptoms of MCS (worse If I don’t fight), some CFS issues but not total tired more muscle weakness, Fibro pain and nodules but may be all over and not just in tender points, I have been diagnosed with a couple types of dysautonomia which cause HR, BP, blood volume issues, Mast cell issues that is probably the result of the food sensitivities, digestive issues galore. It seems that the limbic system does play a roll. Also seems that most of the issues are auto-immune and I think that is the brain making the wrong connections. I have been spiraling out of control for the last 2 years. And I want my life back.
Hi Candy
It is my view that ME, CFS, Fibromyalgia, MCS, EMHS, CFIDS, POTS are all the same illness – just different triggers and different symptoms.
So the ANS REWIRE recovery program is designed to address all these.
Thank you. I agree. I am reading your book right now and have one more intro video to watch. I have been told lately by drs that the Ehlers Danlos is the cause of the autonomic problems but I have wondered based on my research, even before finding you, that the dysatuonomia is the root cause of all of this nightmare. I did not have this type of EDS symptoms until I was diagnosed with EDS. I am so thankful to have found you and have forwarded others to your information. I will make a decision about your program following the book etc.
Forgot to mention that I am an engineer and researching these things is something we have in common. Wondered if you were aware of new research starting now at RCCXandillness.com? There is also a FB page. They are working to link the turning on of the stress response genes to all of these illnesses and show that they are connected. I am going to give the dr there your information. You might find the information interesting.
Thanks Candy – have been connecting with a number of Drs over the years, especially since the launch of ANS REWIRE. Always encouraging patients to work closely with their MDs, so it’s great when we are all on the same page! 🙂
another great interview – disappointing that doctors today are still telling people it’s incurable – so wrong and disheartening for them
Hi Jen – I think the tides are turning, more and more Dr’s are recognising that CFS & Fibro are the same illness and that recovery is possible. In the end, I think Doctors just do their best and go on their experience.
This is great, thank you so much Dan and Liz. I have been reading books about this connection lately, like John Sarno and Nicole Sachs and came across Liz on the Sirpa website. I realised I recognised her face from here! Really enjoyed hearing her story, from what I can gather TMS is really the same as FMS/CFS so from what I can see the work to recover must also correlate , emotional work like EFT plus the stop process etc So comforting to start making these connections from different avenues.
