Day 1 Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Hello,
I've had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for almost 12 years and during that time have tried lots of treatments. I've had some improvements early on but have plateaued for many years now. I'm in my late 50's, separated with two children and work part time.

I've joined this site after reading The Divided Mind by Dr Sarno. I am now hopeful of making more progress towards recovery as CFS was mentioned as a form of TMS. I accept the TMS diagnosis and can see how I fit the personality profile of those more likely to suffer with TMS.

I'm a little apprehensive because I've tried so many things and don't want this to be another one that didn't work. However, I'm willing to give it my best shot. Already, I'm feeling challenged because I'm quite a private person and don't like posting things in a public forum!

I'm looking forward to reading other people's experiences of using the program especially those who have recovered from CFS. It has taken a huge toll on my life in so many ways - I want my life back now!

 

Happy that you have found this information, this wiki site, and the enthusiasm to try this approach to end your CFS.

 

I'm starting this program today too I was diagnosed with cfs 20 years ago I have the same concerns as you

 

Hello...I started showing CFS symptoms about 15 months ago...so I can't speak to the long-term pain you've experienced. However, the program has been VERY HELPFUL for me. If you're anything like me, you've been tested for tons of different things perhaps without finding much. That's what gave me a lot of confidence to believe in TMS/MBS.
