Six people navigating Post-Viral Fatigue have shared their experiences here, honest and specific, offered in the hope that they might help someone else feel less alone in what they’re going through.
These are personal experiences shared voluntarily by course students. Individual experiences vary. This is educational coaching, not medical treatment. Always consult your GP or medical professional regarding your health.
Each story below includes the context before the course and the quote in their own words. Read one or read all of them.
After a severe bout of flu, Sophie was too weak to move around the house and unable to work. She experienced brain fog, hypoglycaemia, light and sound sensitivity, and debilitating fatigue crashes, and had no idea what was happening to her.
“I had no idea what was happening to me and was terrified of making it worse. It took commitment, and it was a slow, bumpy road, but I kept going with the process.”
Ali had been unable to work as a teacher, was managing five different medications at once, and had received a string of conflicting diagnoses. Doctors eventually said “rest”, but offered no path forward.
“The course has made such a difference to my life, in a way I could never have imagined.”
She had been housebound for six months with severe Post Viral Fatigue, dealing with dizziness, nausea, headaches, and struggling to eat. She felt worried and upset, and missed the ordinary things: school, friends, going out.
“It was so helpful and I was happy and jolly and I can do what I want now and go shopping, go school and see my friends.”
After a year-long battle with Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome, Matthew was unable to walk the 10 minutes to school and could attend no more than one or two lessons a day. His family feared he might not even be well enough to sit his GCSEs.
“I’m back to school, music and seeing my friends. To anyone who is suffering with CFS or ME, I’d really encourage you to look into the course, it made such a difference for me.”
Anne was struggling with disrupted sleep, low energy, and carrying the weight of other people’s problems. She was finding it hard to move from one task to the next and had lost confidence in her ability to show up for the things she had committed to.
“I feel refreshed and energised. People around me are noticing a huge difference in me.”
Sarah had been off work for over a year. Even spending an hour with a friend required resting before and after, leaving little energy for anything else. She had struggled for a while and was, in her own words, “really ready to find an answer.”
“The Energy Excellence Course for me was a real turning point, and things started to feel more manageable from there. It was a really good time to share with other people that had had the same or similar experiences.”
