Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Support Group
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) describes a sense of exhaustion and post-exertion malaise, even when you have gotten enough rest and sleep. The disease is characterized by six months of incapacitating fatigue experienced as profound exhaustion and extremely poor stamina, and problems with concentration and short-term memory. The cause is unknown, but it is a...
The thing is, is that as I know mind and body are connected however I do not think that it is emotional issues for me. I didn't have them before I got sick.
I had also asked a friend of mine who has had ME for over 20 years and has done her thesis on the subject. she told me to run away from it and that it make her mad that these so called experts try to tell us that we have emotional baggage getting in the way of our recovery.
I know of people who have done similar things with no success. My body is suffering and it has nothing to do emotional blockages.
Hence I cancelled my upcoming appointment and will not be seeing this doctor/sales expert again.
It is not going to cure you! It is very expensive! No one that got involved with it, did any better, for any length of time, and almost everyone regretted spending the money on it.
Based on MY experience and what I have just told you, I would VERY carefully think before putting my money into this!!
Also, Bowman massage may have some benefits as well. $800 will buy a lot of other therapies.
I actually have a dis-like for my Dr now as I asked her to fill in a form to help me through an upcoming exam and she charged me $20 for stamping the form twice!!
This made me very mad as I paid her $42 the day before just to get the hard sell!!
She also tried to talk me into muscle testing which was also the same price so all up seeing her would have cost me over 2k.
I think that we all really need to be careful when considering treatment that promises our health back, I think these types of "healers" can manipulate us and play on our desperate desire to be healthy again.
I saw a naturopath before this one and she promised that she has never NOT helped someone, well I must have been the first! (but I am sure this is not true)
I intially went to the first one because I have developed major food intolerances and she promised that I could eat what I want in 4 months - well that did not happen and when I stopped taking the pills for my immune system I did not feel any different.
I bet a lot of money is spent by people with ME/CFS when I think perhaps it is up to us to find what cause our symptoms to get worse and work around those.
Its all about lifestyle.
I do not believe it is a cure all but I have found it very helpful for when I am in great pain, very upset emotionally, or crashed.
The website that really helped me was with kellie Meisak. you can find her on youtube.
In fact, I am very glad that u posted this bc i need to be doing it at least 1x or 2x a day. It takes only a few minutes and I have been in a lot of pain today. This will help me.
thx
