Summary
Flo lived with ME/CFS, fibromyalgia and migraines for 37 years, mostly homebound with severe brain fog, vertigo and light and sound sensitivity. She worked through decades of bodywork, energy and conventional therapies with limited success. EFT tapping and polyvagal nervous-system retraining produced the turnaround, and she has been well since 2019 apart from residual joint issues.
