Book Cover & Preview Text
This practical workbook is packed with measurable goals, hints, ideas and useful techniques. You may like to choose to discuss much of this information with your health care practitioner. I believe that having CFS or Fibromyalgia changes you. You as a whole become “sensitive” very different than what you were prior to the illness. You become sensitive not only physically, emotionally, spiritually and psychically and that’s a massive change to deal with, it stops you in your tracks. It becomes very clear that you need to stop and re-assess your whole life. That’s why it’s important to view this experience with love and as a gift. The need, the imperative necessity of change is undoubtable and clear, we need to detox, learn and develop techniques to calm the central nervous system and discover ways to take care of our bodies so we can cope with the environmental stimuli. In this book I not only talk about how I healed but how you can too. I give you the tools to put you on the path of healing. I never lost faith that I would and could heal, from the fear, confusion, feelings of loneliness and being misunderstood and yes, uncared for. Those black pits of despair were very dark! However, I felt I had an intrinsic knowledge that the human body could repair, that the brain and soul are quite powerful, fueled with determination to seek solutions. I love David R. Hawkins, MD, PhD when he talks about human behavior, in his book “Power vs Force “ he states and I quote “We think we live by forces we control, but in fact we are governed by power from unrevealed sources, power over which we have no control”. I see healing in this light. We need to have faith in healing we don’t need to understand it. Information and knowledge, is power. As you gather logical information, that somehow makes sense to you personally, it can send you on a path of self confidence, and new beginnings, building your awareness, in turn making you stronger as you experience healing. SYMPTOMS The symptoms for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, as you can imagine, have been debated and redefined in the last 20 years, noting and considering the complexity of this illness. Some people, in their considered opinion, feel that it is under classified and “Syndrome” does not allow the classification to fully describe the severity of the illness. Personally I would not get too emotionally involved in criteria and concentrate on healing. I was one of those patients that was sent home with absolutely nothing, except with the orders to go to sleep! How long for? 2 years the doctor said. What exactly do we do in these 2 years? Admit ourselves into hospital for years to be cared for? I don’t think so! So I leave you with the information of what Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Fibromyalgia is and clarify what it is not. It is not, feeling tired. It is not, a lower back pain or neck pain. It is not, headaches. It is not about one or two of the symptoms above. It is a combination and a certain length of time suffering these symptoms and much more. It has nothing to do with feeling tired, it is fairer to say that it is more like having a bad flu that does not go away for years. The tests by doctors, which come back negative; the frustrated frowns by doctors investigating your condition and the fear that you’re symptoms are not believed is very hard to bare, that’s why CFS is such a strange and baffling affliction.

About the Author
I write this book not because Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is considered an untreatable medical condition, but because I believe in our bodies, instinctive ability to heal themselves, and by using practical, intuitive and complimentary medicines to do so, as well as taking 100 percent responsibility for our own healing.
I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. The doctors words were “go to sleep,” and that he could do nothing for me. I asked “how long for?” He looked at me, pondered and said, “maybe two years,” I found that outrageous but had no strength to argue, and so found myself with no strength to do much at all for the first two to three years, I could not even pick up a book to research Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. My family had no idea and I was unable to communicate with them the extent of what I was feeling.
Through determination and a strong desire to heal, I am here today giving you all I can on this subject and hope to inspire you to heal.
