MY STORY - "I DID NOT GIVE UP & THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE"

Updated: Feb 1, 2021


17 years ago, when I was 32 I was diagnosed with M.E (CFS / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). The diagnosis eventually came after several years of very bad health. Constant severe flu symptoms, vertigo, sore glands, extreme fatigue, sore throat, mental fogginess, loss of clear sight, loss of limb movement, severe muscle aches and complete and total all over body pain. All totally debilitating and often leaving me bedridden for weeks.

My GP told me that if she could give me a magic pill to get better then she would, but there was no cure and so she suggested that I left my full time job, took some time out and joined some support groups. I did all of this and for 3 years I had to spend most of my time in bed without any medical support and unable to even clean my teeth or brush my own hair at times. People in the support groups that I connected with were mainly in wheel chairs and most had already given up. One girl that I became friends with actually took her own life as she could no longer stand the pain and the lack of support.

I DID NOT GIVE UP! I used what little energy I had to research this terrible, terrible illness. There was very little advice available as very little money was being ploughed into research, even though around 250,000 people in the UK suffer with M.E/CFS. Over the past 17 years and I am thankful to say that I have pretty much made a full recovery after changing my lifestyle and my mindset. There are still times when my energy is low, but I am an incredibly active person and I am proud to say that I achieve more than most in an average day.

What I am trying to get you to understand is that there is always hope. Some of my recent clients have suggested to me that they feel as though they will never get better. This is simply not the mindset that you have to have in order to improve your health and your life. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A POSITIVE MINDSET. You have to KNOW that you will get better and you have to KEEP ON TRYING. Believe me I know that it can be tiring. I understand this more than most, but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP!

I am here to help you and if you feel like trying an alternative therapy such as QUANTUM HEALING HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUE then I would love to work with you.

Thank you for reading this. I rarely do posts about myself, but after hearing so many recent comments about the "giving up energy" around us all at the moment I felt that it was necessary.

Keep the faith people, sending you all BIG love
