Wellbeing

Having had Chronic Fatigue following a viral illness, it took me 7 years to work my way back to good health. By good I mean able to more than merely exist, but participate in life and all it has to offer.

I was initially told by my G.P. that I may never work again. I was offered CBT Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and my frequent return visits to my doctor provided no alternatives to regain my health.

The first year was spent with my sight, hearing and balance all compromised. I woke each morning feeling as though I had drunk a bottle of vodka the night before and as the walls moved and my senses were bombarded by the eternal disorientation I kept telling myself that one day I would wake up and feel ‘normal’. Prior to contracting the virus I had lost 2 stone in weight. I woke each day. I was 45 and felt like a 95 year old women, vulnerable, weak and very scared.

Conventional medicine offers little in the way of getting well.

I realised that I needed to adopt an attitude of hope and to trust that I could acutally get better.

I approached a wonderful homeopath who gave me a copy of Adrenal Fatigue and I learned about why I found myself in a position with no energy whatsoever.
