Discussing ME and CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome)

I wanted to talk a bit about ME and CFS in this post, being that this is close to my heart.
 
I struggled with ME/CFS myself for around 3 years, and this is what brought me to be doing what I am today. I do treat lots of other conditions and problems too but ME and CFS are really important to me. There just isn't enough support around for sufferers, or even solutions. When I was ill I felt very much that I was not believed when I approached the medical profession. Everyone seemed to be very sceptical of me and my condition and this made it so much harder to get diagnosed. Instead I was offerered a psychiatrist and anti depressants with the belief that it was psychosomatic. It was devastating for me to be honest when no one believed me, and it even made me question myself at points and wonder if I was actually going crazy.
 
In the simplest terms, I believe ME and CFS begins when the individual goes through a period of stress. I'll make this as easy to understand as I can. Also I should note that this is purely my belief of what happens, but the cause of the condition itself is very controversial. This is what I have found to be true for me and my clients. During this period of overloaded stress the body goes into a bit of a red alert and begins sending signals in the form of physical symptoms. It may initially have sent signals in the form of emotions and feeling but when we either didn't listen or didnt know what else to do. Luckily for me, I found a solution, but there are soo many people out there who probably don't even know whats happening to them. So, here are the most common symptoms.
 
Symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and ME -
 
  • Fatigue - often profound physical and cognitive fatigue and exhaustion
 
  • Cognitive Impairment - poor concentration and memory, speech difficulties
 
  • Flu like symptoms
 
  • Pain - muscle pain (sometimes twitches), joint pain, headaches, fibromyalgia
 
  • Sleep disturbances - insomnia, unrefreshing sleep, early wakening, constant sleeping, disturbed cycles
  • Digestive troubles - nausea, stomach cramps, diarrehoa/ constipation, food intolerance
 
 
Other symptoms can be:
 
  • fluctuation temperature
  • vertigo
  • dizziness and headrushes
  • alcohol intolerance
  • sensitivities to light or sound
  • recurrent sore throats/ ears
 
EFT is an effective treatment for CFS and ME. The great thing about it is that it can be self applied. Financial difficulties become very real for sufferers in the same cycle that I was caught in myself. You can't work because you are too ill. You can't make money to pay for treatment to get well again to be able to work. It's a vicious cycle. Therefore I created the 'Self help treatment for CFS/ME using EFT' Ebook program. I want to encourage sufferers that they actually CAN help themselves! EFT is really simple and with a bit of reading you can begin working away on your symptoms immediately. You no longer have to rely on anyone else and can take healing into your own hands. It's a fraction of the cost and you have nothing to lose because if you are in the same position that I was in you have a good lot of time on your hands to fill everyday. You will also be able to contact me via email for support and guidance throughout when you have purchased your Ebook.
 
Learn more about the program on our 'store' page or alternatively you can download from Amazon or Amazon's Kindle.
 
Good luck with your healing journey and know that you can contact me for support or with questions or for more information. I'm happy to help.

Hi Kelly I came across your book on EFT for ME/CFS sufferers on kindle. I downloaded it, read it and had a go at the tapping. I've been ill for several years and am going through a rough patch at the moment. I was able to get out of bed today and go for a small walk with my dogs. The EFT has given me some hope. Like you I have spent hunners on all kinds of therapies and supplements and for the first time feel that this is something that won't drain the bank but may well help. Thanks and good luck.
