Before joining the CFS Health Recovery program, I had been ill with CFS for 10 years the most recent 4 of these years I had been mostly in bed. I didn’t have the energy to stand or to sit up. Light and sound were very difficult, so I spent most of my time in the dark and in silence.I had spent over $30 000 on ‘cures’. Since joining the program, over the past 18 months my health has gone from strength to strength. I am enjoying the simple things again like being able to plan a meal, shop for ingredients and cook. I can make a date and be confident that I can keep it. I am going out for meals again, going on holidays, meeting new people and making new friends. I recently went out for NYE for the first time in 8 years. I have also commenced online study and look forward to returning to work in the future. It makes me very happy to be able to help my elderly mum and uncle, and other people in my life that I care about. I enthusiastically recommend this program to everyone that I meet with CFS or fibromyalgia. For a condition where there is so little understanding and so few solutions, CFS Health made recovery…read more

Before joining the program, I had been housebound for 5 years. At my worst I was completely bedridden for 4 months. My main symptoms were extreme fatigue, brain fog, sensitivity to light, nausea, IBS, muscle and body pain. I had very little stamina. Things like trying to go for a short walk or socializing would leave me in bed for days or weeks. The program gave me structure, focus and hope. Learning to get a baseline for myself was essential and I don’t think I would have been able to figure that out on my own. The other main component was the support group. i moved out on my own to a little beach town, full of surfing and yoga which I absolutely love! I am now able to work again! I am traveling internationally almost every year which I was told I might not ever be able to do again….read more

Before joining the program I was at my lowest. Excruciating Fatigue and wide spread body pain was the worse symptoms I had. I felt like I had tried everything as I was suffering from both Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia. I was taking a heap of medication. I was mostly bed bound. I could only make it to the toilet. The thought of having a shower was a nightmare. The biggest thing I learnt was to accept where I was at and to take baby steps consistently. The program taught me to be hopeful, it gave me my life back. Now I’m working full time, I do a Little bit of drag racing for fun on the side. I still look after myself and do the right things. There’s nothing I can’t do anymore If I just plan it out before hand. I have loved getting back into drag racing, party’s and events, sewing, gardening, doing the simple things and most importantly spending time with my family. I have a grandson now so I need all the energy I can get. If you are struggling with M.E/CFS or Fibromyalgia, don’t give up. There is hope!…read more
