After a very intense and emotional 4.5-year roller coaster ride my turning point came after a bad crash sent me to the hospital where I was completely bedridden for over a month unable to even turn over in bed. Luckily, that's where I met a doctor gave me information (and along with that - hope) that would be key to my recovery.
In this RU-vid Channel, I break down the science behind the root cause that was driving my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and related debilitating symptoms (severe fatigue, PEM, migraines, insomnia, intense heart palpitations, POTS, body tremors, muscle pain, and much more), as well as what I've done to heal myself from all these symptoms.

Hi Viola, did you do any separate work for your past trauma or do you feel like this program is everything you needed comprehensively? I’m so happy for your recovery!
Another thing that can stimulate the hyper sensitivity is walking... I did not believe it was possible.. but you can get minor panic attacks through walking more than a few hundred yards.. depending on where you are in the illness maybe ? I only found out as my car was off the road for a month.. I walked into our town for a coffee each day.. it was only half a mile each way... but I got gradually worse ... so I checked it up on the internet and you're anxiety can increase with minor panic attacks through walking.. Maybe it was because I couldn't bear to be in the house with brain fog and do zero.. couldn't take words in from anything
Amen to this! Even if you have things going on in your body, it's cell danger response from hypersensitive nervous system stuck in f/f/f and brain alarming over and over and over
Great video! I've lived in the fight or flight mode, I think, since my childhood and I'm elderly now. I've always been tired. In school I remember I'd be real sleepy and want to fall asleep in class. But for a long time now I've been more than tired - I've been fatigued, every minute of every day - every other day or 2 is worse.
I didn’t have a full crash but when I have a stress event I have issues with my blood sugar. I wake up in the night and have to eat. I’m dealing with this now but it does go away. I sleep through the night without eat last night. So im slowly getting there. Great video! Im not alone with this
Sara - you’ve truly inspired me. As a man, I miss working out! Someone in a different program said “You’re a Honda Civic now.” That did not sit well with me. I don’t need to be a Ferrari but I do NEED to be able to workout.
I did some chores at home on Saturday thereafter these past few days my body hurts really bad along with flu like symptoms... This video was so helpful 🙌
As a thriver myself - I was a bit hesitant to join at first. But I can say after 6+ months, these people changed my life. Not just healing, but becoming a more well rounded human being.
Brain fog is the worst! I think it affects the speech and memory sections of the brain the worst in me. Calling it brain fog with CFS/ME isn't descriptive enough. It is like large ceters of the brain don't even work like they are asleep or dead. It is hard to make sense of things. I am on my way out of my first full blown crash and I am still not free of brain fog. It has gotten better with some of the treatments I have done. Mental exersion fatiges me more than physical - though they both still do. Clming down so the parasypathetic nervous system to engage is absolutely neccessary. parasimpathetic
Thanks Miguel. As I understand in the beginning of recovery these flare ups can be frequent as you do new activities. Not panicking is the key to improvement.
I can’t help it but my hands start flapping around swatting and I end up looking like a penguin in public trying to take off! 🤣🐧🙈 Can I add… that this technique does work! 🐥🐥🐥
