Client Experiences: ME/CFS, Fatigue & Burnout

ME/CFS

Jade had been unable to walk without a wheelchair for five years and had not managed a full day of activity in that time.

“I’ve started to learn to drive, done lots of cooking, and I’ve started swimming. I’m still building up my muscle strength and my stamina, and that’s normal for a body that hasn’t done anything physical in five years. It’s not stopping me from doing the things I want to do. One day a week I try to have a quieter day at home so my body can recharge, but everyone should do this really.”

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Sammy had lost all excitement about life and had been unable to travel or see friends and her partner for an extended period.

“The course really explained everything that I’d been going through. It helped me see that there was a way out, that I wasn’t going mad, and that all of this was actually happening. Most importantly for me, it helped me see that I wasn’t alone.”

Long-COVID

Laura had been unable to work or keep up with her family since Long-COVID took hold, and described herself as terrified and completely stuck.

“I couldn’t understand how post-viral symptoms could lead to blacking out, postural tachycardia that made it difficult to stand, and weakness so debilitating I couldn’t even lift a dinner plate. Part of me was worried the course might not work for me, but by consistently applying it, even through setbacks, I found I was able to keep going.”
