Nicole’s ME/CFS Journey

Hi Amir – people tell me I am like my old self again, and I feel like a more capable version of myself.

I met two people who had done your course a couple of years ago – they said they immediately felt as good as new. Of course it does work, but for me it was not an over-night cure and I feel people should know that. For me it was slowly slowly and having high expectations was a hindrance.

“What I especially take away with me is being happy in everything I do, or just don’t do it! It’s so simple you can miss it, I certainly had.”

The other one is ‘what has your attention controls your mind’.

I do cry more, but they are happy tears. Doing things I never thought I would do or feel again. Singing and dancing in my bedroom to the radio, conquering my fear of the ‘cross-trainer’ at the gym…

My life is busy and happy and I want to thank you for that. Keep doing what you do best, giving people back their lives.

– Nicole

One year update:

I have just finished my first week back at work in officially 1 year of being off sick and 2½ years of suffering and struggling. I feel great. I was of course very tired, but who wouldn’t be!! It is also a new job so I had the added pressure of making friends and fitting in. But I took it all in my stride.

Feeling healthy and well are my top priorities. In fact one colleague said I have a very calming influence in the classroom!! Nobody would have said that a year ago!!

I feel it isn’t just my health that is better but my whole outlook on life is healthier too.

I have been congratulating myself all week and am very proud.
