    Decades of low quality sleep. Long hours of sleep but never once wake up refreshed. It's been a sad life.
  • @NganLe-tb8bt
    I pray everyone here recovering and restoring your health and happiness. Much love 💕.
  • @suepete
    I wish he'd call it was it really is: Deep, dark, drop-dead fatigue that causes the inability to function. It isn't "chronic fatigue," or even "fatigue." It is Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome, also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (neuroimmune disorder). The false name has had a significant negative impact on what others have understood about my disease. I have been second-guessed, told it was in my head, etc. etc. ALL because the name is WRONG!

    I just have to find the money now for all of these supplements. Being on disability, it's hard to even find an extra $5. It's another component that makes this disease hard, no health to work, and no money to get the treatment, meds, supplements, or appointments to get better. Trapped. 😭

    I sleep 9-10 hours but am still exhausted every waking minute

    It would help if we had a competent medical industry, instead of one built on keeping people sick and billing insurance companies.
  • I was diagnosed with ME/Fibromyalgia two years ago, and after being fit and hardworking my entire life, it has ruined everything....It is refreshing to hear someone be understanding, sensible, and offering an insight to becoming more well....
  • @dawndaniel22
    I love this man.. He explained more to me than any Dr in the last 15yrs

    I’m glad you said doctors are clueless diagnosis for thyroid and crohns took years. I believe I will probably die from old age before I am properly diagnosed for fatigue.
  • @nainiramulu4595
    Thanks from my heart, Doctor. I observed tremendous positive results just after 2 weeks of following your treatment. My condition is improving noticeable, after suffering for 20 years. Thanks again.
  • @CambioJoe
    You may have chronic fatigue if you’ve fallen asleep watching this video while taking notes... twice and then still never got to the end.
  • @brokenheart1348
    My life was before severe /ME and after. Ambitious , sporty , perfectionist& driven. Was famous for juggling 100 balls at same time. On top of the world . After emergency c-section With a baby ended up in wheelchair! Yes it is all in your head, you have depression etc after 3 year of different diagnosis like MS etc told me you have FM/ME. I cried atleast knew am not crazy. I know now that I burnt myself & my body out. I lost my career as pharm D. Still no one understand & gets me. Still do too much for my family . This year became 50, and DT2 as well due to reduced mobility . My cortisol has been x20 normal levels and that makes it difficult to lose belly fat. If I could live in deserted island , with no responsibilities and no one to expect too much of me, I would feel better. I am never pain free even with fentanyl patches , SSRIs etc .

    I read years ago that approximately 78% of people with fibromyalgia had previously suffered a severe neck injury. I can say it’s 100% true in my situation.
  • Thank you for this video. I am crying watching it because I feel hope for the first time in years
  • @henryboyd9542
    This is only the second time I have ever commented on another persons videos on YouTube. I would like to give you a huge thank you for conveying what I have been experiencing for the last 5 years of my life. Long story short, I spent six years in the military deploying all over the world and it caused me to blow a fuse along the way. I was recently diagnosed with CFS by the VA and I am just grateful to finally have a name for the multitude of symptoms I experience on a daily basis. Thank you again for making such a comprehensive video!
  • @aug.jam.1
    I've tried about everything by now to get rid of my chronic fatigue after having my colon removed due to ulcerative colitis 4 years ago + severe depression 2 years ago + Covid 1 year ago after which I believe I got CFS and so far had 3 failed suicide attempts. Doctors either don't believe me or don't give a shit and I can barely do any work at work or at home and have aches all over my body. And will try anything this man said during 2024 no matter what. I'll post an update monthly under this message to let everyone know if it is any good. I'm very skeptical though as nothing so far helped but still have a bit of hope left....
  • @areneesouder
    Think my adrenaline was shot a long time ago due to constant trauma and stress, and this illnesses and no help. My heart rate stays over 100 even at rest. I was a perfectionist and would rather do everything myself than to trust others to do it and do it right... Now I'm bedridden for all these years and can't with basically little to no help cuz people don't understand around me, yet I keep trying to keep my and their spirits up, and laughing.
  • @radiancelee1977
    So basically eat well (anti inflammatory diet, or high protein), know your energy limits, make sure you're not vitamin deficient, try to limit infections or rid of them as soon as possible, do low intensity exercise when you can and limit stress
  • At last someone who gives hope and no nonsense information with great humour and positivity. Thankyou 👌
