  • That's all we can really do. Everything else is out of our control, so what we can control is our mindset and how we continue to take care of yourself. Treat yourself like you would a friend going through the same experience. Keep feeding yourself positive thoughts 😘
  • Spring is finally here. I can smell it. It's a breath of fresh air. It will still be awhile here in New England, but I'm looking forward to reading by the river. I'm not sure if the seasons effect my overall health/fatigue. As we've gotten more hours of sunlight, I've felt more hopeful and longing to do things. Do you feel the weather influences your symptoms?
  • I am so grateful that coconuts are so healthy. I use mct oil, cook and bake with coconut oil, and can't resistant fresh coconut. Are you a fan?
  • How many of you feel like you could practically be doctors by now based on all the research you have put into your own health? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don't know about you guys, but I am always on the look out for new research about ME/CFS. I even entertain trying things that were done by those who claim recovery. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Keep learning and advocating for your own recovery! I'm optimistic that there will be a light at the end of this tunnel.
  • Life is too short! Food for thought this afternoon...
  • In and effort to help heal myself from ME/CFS, I started following the protocol suggested by Dr. Sarah Myhill about 3 weeks ago. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I added new supplements and now take about 15 different things. I haven't noticed too much change in how I physically or mentally feel yet, but I have seen improvements in my immune system. Before, if I came in brief contact with anyone who had a cold, I would have my own symptoms in a matter of days. During the past two weeks, I stayed with my parents. My mom had a cold for a week, and then my dad had it for a week. I did not catch it at all! I call that a huge improvement. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Secondly, I started the PK Diet! The first week was pretty rough, as expected #ketoflu. I had the worst brain fog and was more exhausted than usual. About 1-2 weeks in, my body adjusted and I'm back to my base. Its been 3 weeks, so its hard to see a difference yet, but I know I am taking in more nutrients and eating a healthier diet overall. I am eating calories more appropriate for my activity level and still feeling full throughout the day. I am looking forward to see how things evolve through the next few weeks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you read Dr. Myhill's book? What things have you done to help manage or recover from ME/CFS?
