My message to all ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia and POTS sufferers is 'don't lose hope!'

Summary

Recovered using ANS REWIRE, a method he developed himself combining brain-retraining techniques, DEEP mindfulness meditation, nutrition and physiological and lifestyle changes to calm and retrain the autonomic nervous system, working with an integrative doctor over about 18 months of a near-seven-year illness. Symptoms began within a week of a chickenpox vaccination and were diagnosed as ME/CFS, fibromyalgia and POTS, with extreme unrelieved fatigue, fevers, gastrointestinal symptoms, night sweats, cardiac symptoms, orthostatic hypotension, allodynia, nocturnal urination, salt cravings and "fibro fog," eventually leaving him bed-bound and unable to work after being ill for just over five years. He describes "some very significant progress in a matter of weeks, but other improvements took many months," crediting a comprehensive plan addressing multiple triggers rather than "the shotgun approach." He now lives a full life, working full-time, exercising, and enjoying wine with his wife and two children without the adverse reactions he used to have. No relapse is mentioned; he has since written the book "CFS Unravelled" and built ANS REWIRE into a program he now teaches to others as part of his advocacy work telling sufferers recovery is possible.
