    This urgency is very hard for me to tame. I keep trying though.
    Another thing that kicks me into urgency is the questions/comments from family members “why aren’t you better yet? Are you sure you’re trying?…”

      Trying to recover fast or trying this and that is like poison if you have CFS. Many times I seemed to be close to fully recovered but then fall into a deep hole again for weeks. Then at one point I accepted my state and told myself I will Never recover and never be able to work again, I completely gave up. Short time after that my conditions get so much better and since 5 months now I'm ok. I'm working full-time again, but I'm trying to avoid all kind of stress, don't exercise, only go for a walk from time to time, don't go out and don't visit family or friends, because I have to rest enough.

    This is perfect timing Miguel. I've been feeling like the end of the year is approaching and it's another year I'm not fully recovered & haven't achieved my goals & falling a bit into fear, loss and frustration ....... Thank you for another wonderful video.

    Great video and timely for me. I am the person you described - project managing my illness and working very hard at it by doing half a dozen things each day. I recently decided to take a 3 day vacation from healing and stop doing everytbing i was doing and i suddenly felt better!

    Just got tested for lyme disease since I got bit by a tic in September of 2022. The reason I did so is becuase in late February of 2023, one night I got really unwell, started vomiting 8 times, and the next morning until this very day, I've been extremely tired every single day.
    The good news is that I tested negative for lyme and I did multiple lyme related tests.
    The bad news is that I still stayed the same. Now, I don't want to sound to over exaggarate, but today I feel roughly 50% better, but that's still far away for 90% that I aim to.
    The first two weeks after I started experiencing CFS syndroms, I felt like a zombie. I was not bed ridden, but really close to it.
    I was also diagnosed with Hypothyroidism about a couple of weeks after the onset of the symptoms. My THS levels were at 31, and the normal range is somewhere at 2.40-4.50, roughly.
    The endocrynolgist told that the medication will fix my symptos by regulating the thyroid levels. After 3 months, my thyroid levels did get in the ideal range, but the chronic fatigue, tiredness, weaknes, brain fog, depression continued.
    Meanwhile, in July I did a test for vitamin D myself, without the doctors recommendation, and I was tested low in vitamin D despite testing in the warmest month of the year where there's enough Sun providing vitamin D.
    Shortly before testing for D, I went to a psychiatrist, and he told me that everything I've been experiencig is purely psychological and I was prescribed a SSRI medication, that did somewhat help me, but not what I expected.
    I July, I started working at a grocery store which was an advice from the psychiatrist since he believed working a job will help me distract from negative thoughts and alleviate the symptoms. But honestly, it did not help me at all. I felt extremely tired at work and the brainfog was killing me. I quit about two months and decided to get a new job.
    Not even mentioning that in June I finally graduated in college, which was fine, but I only focused on my current health state. Unfortunately, I lost my grandma in July which further had a great impact mentally on me, but I got over it because I knew she did not die in pain, suffering. She died in a dream, at the age of 95.
    So, in September I got a remote job as a customer service agent, working from home. Been working for three months now, but luckily I did not feel as much pain and symptoms as when I worked at a grocery store, but it was still there, nonetheless.
    I got diagnosed with CFS in mid October, almost 8 months after I started experiencing the symptoms. I knew I had it, the doctors (and I have visited plenty of them) did not say anything even remotely related to CFS.
    So, I'm having a second appointment with the neurogist, that is also a sleep specialist. She told me that she would maybe consider prescribing me with an amphetamine based medication, which I completely don't like, since the serious side effects and high addiction probability.
    I've read about Low Dose Naltrexone, which did help some people with CFS, but who knows. Maybe it will help me? Did anyone read about it?
    Miguel, you are doing a great favour to all of us that are watching your videos. I know my parents think I am completely healthy and exaggarating my symptoms, but I know how devastating it feels to wake up every morning feeling like a cell phone battery at 9%.
    I just wish to wake up one day full of energy and not being tired all the time, though I know the journey to that place will be long, painstaking, and full of ups and downs.
    Wish y'all a full and fast recovery!❤

    Interesting, i was patient 5 years ago and enjoy live little by little as i get better, i did not know it was cfs and i could shower and sitting a lot so no urgency for me to recover fast.
    Now, things changed: bedbound since 6 months. If i could even shower again or sitting up, half of the day, all the urgent energy will be gone again, i know me, i never rushed if my body feels that way. But guess what i am in big stress because i cannot come to this basics. 100% stress against 15% if i could do what i wrote above. Crazy right? It is not the World, most people want to have everything back. I was so patient the last years enjoyed live, no rush, i only want that minimum basic back and it seems unreachable for me. Told my doctor, if i could only have that i will be fine.

    Oh, Miguel, I needed to hear this in an AP I guess just had the flu 103 fever really set me back, and am so dizzy sad, and mad, I guess it's just like you said I just feel like I am one step forward one 2 steps back. The dizziness excitable when I close my eyes is my kryptonite. Yes, the world has Christmas parties my neighbor is 80 years old and she's having a good time and I just keep having to love on this brain of mine, It is just too long of a journey I am doing something wrong, it has been years! I was doing more when I was really sick in the beginning than now, it is like I had so many symptoms I didn't notice them directly now that I have sorted them out there seems to be more focus on them in isolation. Maybe at this point, I have been too protective I haven't left the house in months bored out of my mind! Sorry Miguel I am just down today... Ava

    For me it's not being attached to the workout and thanks to doing nothing today and binge watching your videos, I'm giving up the anxiety about muscle loss.
    I've eaten up, am in bed with TH-cam and Netflix and am going to focus on just my part time job (4x4 hours) and keeping myself and my house clean.
    After that goes well for a while (meaning HRV and sleep improve) I'll add in yoga and walking.
    Every time I pick up running, i get my CFS from 10 years ago back. Maybe it's not for me to do zone 4-5 workouts.
    I'm now a sloth and will do zone 1-2 workouts and with weight training ill take more rest between sets, do less sets, and keep heart rate low.
