12 Things to do When you are Diagnosed With M.E/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

[@CFSHealth]

1. Don’t panic 2. Find a good doctor but don’t expect them to fix you 3. Decrease the overwhelm by stopping the desperate searching for quick fixes/cures 4. Stop chasing/worrying about symptoms once you have excluded any other illness 5. Have a health focused approach 6. Get your baseline right 7. Don’t be in negative support groups 8. Find positive success stories. Success leaves clues 9. Do a strategic overview plan. What do I really need right now 10. Have a holistic approach that covers everything you need (never seen anyone get better from just supplements or just one thing) 11. If you can, get the right support, mentors and guidance 12. Have a plan, and have structure and routine to achieve that plan Bonus 13. Imbed accountability in your life.

Thank you Toby. Great advice. The time and energy I used up searching online for an answer - hours and hours and hours ...and always worrying, made me sicker and more depressed.

My wife continues to talk to me like I'm fine. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad but dude she's like your going to go with me to so and so tomorrow morning arnt you? Then turns up and starts to say wake up, get up, let's go. Sometimes I just stay quiet. I suppose it's going to take her a while to actually believe it. The doctors letter must have gone past her head bless her.

When you state your boundaries and have a plan that you’re sticking to. She won’t cross them as much and she will let go and trust you more!

Thanks a lot for this video. It's really important for me - I researched so much, I'm so overwhelmed and confused and I really feel the need to have a plan that addresses all important aspects and thst I can follow. I'm sure that is the only option for progress

Give yourself a break Doris. Take your time, find the right steps and move forwards for whatever feels appropriate for you! ❤️

[@dorishangel3661]

@@CFSHealth Thank you. Yes, that is my feeling, too. The good thing is, that I also get a feeling of what is good for me (your program sounds great) and what not (easy and non-holistic fixes and concentration on the 'wrong' issues).

Thanks for the great info!

Can one of those be to strangle the doctors who took in my case 27 years to diagnose the condition and only after I made a formal complaint to nhs. 😛

[@lisadonnelly3264]

I'm still not diagnosed after 20 years I just know I have some of the typical symptoms of CFS and Fibro. I have diagnosed myself ...its not Rocket Science!

[@rajibear77]

@@lisadonnelly3264 I feel for you, i dont think these doctors understand the damage they do by not taking things seriously. I will say for me the attitude of the gp even after diagnosis was appaling in that they did not care about the psychological damage that happens when an individual.has to just deal with it fir so many years with no recognition or support practically or financially. Sometimes I wonder how these doctors got their license to practice.

I believe in your program and appreciate all of your teachings and recommendations. Your supportive team gives much comfort and hope in the recovery process . I highly recommend to those who are struggling with chronic fatigue with all of its despair to seriously consider this to CSF. Recovery program if resources allow you to do this . Otherwise , seek and learn from free successful dialogue and training .
