Ali’s Post-Viral Fatigue Journey

Video Transcript

What Post-Viral Fatigue Was Like

Having post-viral fatigue was awful. I couldn’t go to work. At that time I was a teacher and it meant that I had to take an enormous time off. I felt very frustrated, I felt that it was a complete waste of time my being ill. I couldn’t understand how I’d got ill.

I kept having different diagnoses from doctors and being told “here, take these pills.” At one point I was on about, I think it was five different medications that I had to take every two or four hours, and I ended up writing a massive list of when to take each pill. And they were for various different things that I was suffering from, all symptoms that seemed to point to different illnesses.

At one point I was given a chest X-ray, at another point they thought I might have glandular fever, and it all seemed very odd to doctors initially.

“After a few months, post-viral fatigue was mentioned, and unfortunately, the doctors didn’t seem to know where to go from there. They just told me to rest.”

Deciding to Research Her Own Way Forward

It was such a relief to find the Energy Excellence Course because I got to a point where I thought, “nobody else is making me better, I’m going to have to do some research for myself.”

So I went online, I found the course and it just so happened there was one the following weekend and there was a space for me. So even though I wasn’t very well, I did manage to get myself on a train to Wales and booked into a bed and breakfast.

What Changed After the Course

This may sound like I’m exaggerating, but I would say that the course has made such a difference to my life, in a way I could never have imagined, and I would urge anyone who is even considering the course to explore it for themselves.

I realize now that prior to getting physically ill, I had actually been ill for some time and it just hadn’t manifested itself physically. The Energy Excellence Course has made me see life itself in a completely new light.

When I came to it, I was in a job that for many reasons wasn’t suitable for me at the time and … it’s difficult to articulate this in a way perhaps that other people might understand, but perhaps those who are also ill will understand: my thinking was the root cause of my problems.

“The way I often thought was, ‘well, if I think that the worst is going to happen, then I can be pleasantly surprised by things when they go well.’ But that was a dreadful way to approach things because I was always thinking negatively, even though outwardly I would appear as this sort of smiley, happy person.”

After the course, I just learned, using the techniques, to approach life completely differently.

Life Since the Course

When I came to the course, I was single and I was in a job that wasn’t good for me. I then quit my job after the course. I met my now-fiancé and I have started my own business, which I’m hoping will work well, and if it doesn’t, then at least I gave it a go.
