Thanks Miguel - its interesting because it seems like a lot of us have the "David Goggins" type of mindset about not listening to your body when it says to slow down, both with physical work and even career-wise. that attitude quickly gets flipped upside down when people see what happens when you push it too far and get CFS.
When he said he had an extreme mindset i subscribed that David goggins Dan pena shit runs in my brain 24/7 leading to severe burnout which i pushed past and lead to seizures which i pushed past for a year leading to 4 years of doing nothing. Now im getting somewhere
I am a dancer and I train people all over the world. This happened to me after the covid vaccination … within 3 days I was not able to walk properly .. still not working after almost 3 years but on my way back up.. Thank you for talking about this.. it is definitely the right thoughts that bring us back ✌️🫶🏼
Please do me a big favor and report it on the FDA website The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a national vaccine safety surveillance program co-sponsored by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). You may think it doesn’t matter to but it does when we report side effects that are this concerning and might help others too.
I am grateful for this channel. I maybe early in this about 2-3 months I started watching about 2-3 weeks ago and I feel like I’ve been making some improvements with incorporating what he’s been saying. The main take away is gradually adding to like I would as if I had just started from ground 0 with working out. Also that my flair ups are apart of the recovery, to look at them like okay this is part of the process vs a panic. Looking back I could see the warning signs in April with me being slightly more tired. I get routinely labs done and had them all done in Early May with no signs of anything off. Mid May is when I started feeling worse and got some news about my job May 31st about on of my jobs of 17 years and the next day I woke up kind of off and but the end of the day I was a corps on the couch and felt like my life force was begging drain. June was hell with cycling through debilitating exhaustion, headache behind eye, pressure and brain fog . I would have terrible days and just oh I’m getting better let me push through but will feel worst the next day but I notice that so I stopped. Not to mention I tried so many supplements I almost called 911 4 times About three or four anxiety attacks. Through this time I was on Reddit looking for answers cus my doctor office didn’t have any( and that was the worst place to go) STAY AWAY FROM THERE ( REDDIT) Took to TH-cam like there has to be some one who has recovered from this and came across this channel. The first week I did an exercise and honest that was the first week I felt like my get better symptoms had started to get better . And since then I felt like each week has slightly gotten better. But thank you for your videos I’ve learned a lot
Thank you so much . Isnt it a relief when you understand whats happening andknow you can take control as opposed to being helpless. Youve been a huge part of that
Oh Miguel, your story made me to tears 😭. Bad am so happy that your normal again. It’s like god gave you that for you to helping people like you do now. Thank you so much for your time and strength to help people in the wold.
OMG I did this too. I lived on C4 while working in the ER, studying neurochem and cancer bio, and dad battling cancer. Then I got Covid. I pushed SO hard and my body was stopping. Drs all said I needed more exercise LOL so I got a Peloton and you know the rest
Your story is so much like mine. I even resorted to anabolic steroids and ritalin. I still feel guilty for taking a couple of rest days. Today I'm having my total rest day even though I wanted to do stuff. It's one of the things that I do in order to not have major setbacks. I do a lot of things and i stay away from even more things in order to save my energy. I today took a restday ALTHOUGH i had a lot of energy. It's very hard for a go getter like me, but i never want to be in bed for 6 months again. The last few days i trained hard, worked more, and saw my cardiac stresslevel go up during my sleep. That's the sign to take a break BEFORE i feel tired. My heart takes better care of me than myself. That's why I'm so grateful for my Garmin watch. Being raised by an army man didn't help. 😂😂😂
i get that your system might work for cfs that hasnt come from an infection and isnt immune system related but what about ME/CFS?. i have ME after a sepsis of wich i could've died and i kinda doubt this stuff will help me. glad that it helped you though.
Same thing happened to me. Slow onset with symptoms for ages, until my body hit that finally wall and shut down. Back then, I wanted to go on to compete in strength sports, but now I can't even touch exercise.
This is me. Went from a pic of health and living in a gym to where I couldn’t use the gym and stay in the bed most days. I have gained 120 lbs since this developed 5 years ago due to not being able to workout. It’s a living hell…. No answer yet as to the cause of it after years of tests. I know I was living on PWO daily sometimes 2-3 times a day before this fatigue developed and I would always take more and more and I feel this is why I developed CFS. I think the constant dopamine spiking done something to my dopamine receptors over the last 10 years of using heavy caffeine to the point they won’t ever recover. I got the sensitivity to light also and still cannot workout even with pwo!
That's good to know! Please check these links. I hope they help! th-cam.com/video/KZMla_y_prs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=R2bdZb82nqrU2zXq th-cam.com/video/5Wdyr-z1BD0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-0MeT28-XDNeW6az
This is me! Literally, one day I was training for my 1st powerlifting competition and the next day I couldnt stand up. I had 5 slipped discs in my lower back. After treatment for that I have never been the same. I can even shower and get dressed without laying down after the shower 1st. I stuggle daily to just wanting to keep going. I was 60 and it was March 19th 2020 the day my life stopped and has never started again.😢
@@cfsrecovery I was tested for PoTs. It came back in conclusive, partially because I have had high blood pressure since my twenties so I dont go into the dangerously low levels when it goes low. After all that's happened I believe its been something Ive dealt with since I was a child, but when the back went out and I was down for almost a year, it sent in into overdrive. Weightlifting was the biggest boost to my energy level I had ever felt in my entire life. I was always saying loosing the weight was great but having more energy was so so much more important to me
I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I can walk to the bathroom and sometimes I get an AP from the toilet sometimes not, but we're talking about more fatigue, more buzzing and pain. When I'm not even sitting at 90 degrees against the couch but at 45 degrees I feel so good, finally like a human again no heart palpitations, I'm extra not 90 degrees because of pots and exhaustion. I stop after 10 minutes, although I still feel very good and can breathe better in this position. Everything is fine and then palpitations and insomnia in the middle of the night, energy gone the next day. I would like to say one thing, I'm not afraid of symptoms, only of the energy going away, because it feels disgusting, because I can't even go to the toilet that next day, but not because I have symptoms, no, because the energy is gone. At the moment I'm often holding my breath and can't take a deep breath, which is much easier for me when I'm sitting down. But now I don't dare to do that any more because I don't want to lose my energy again. You say you have to get through the symptoms to break out of the bedridden stage. As I said, the symptoms aren't bad, sometimes they're barely there, as long as I'm lying down I can move around a lot horizontally without feeling worse, but as soon as I just want to sit, my body uses up all the energy and I don't want to start from scratch afterwards because I might end up living with the energy on pump. So how doing sitting up without loosing energy allthough i am feeling really good in the Moment i am doing it. Probably i could sit 30 Minutes i am not doing it because i know that we should only go slow. It is always the same evem before i was bedridden ,not tge symptoms are my Problem only the energy,and now ,really now i am fearing that i always doing to much and loosing energy. It is my only fear. Because i cannot control it like my symptoms .if i flare up with pain,ok then i take a step back i can handle the symptoms but loosing energy is different
Thank you. I would say im now successfully reintegrating into life. I can socialise for maybe 2 hours but that does stress my nerous system. Should i focus more on integration like shopping now and increasing ability to do normal life things only or should i also start trying to build fitness? Im up to 7 body weight squats without any flare ups . But tried to add a bit more on like 3 bridges and hip openers and i did feel a flare. Not sure what my focus should be to help recovery
You often say we can recover by only seeing your Videos.. but I couldn't find a real explanation about what you exactly did to increase your level day by day.. so there is no real plan to get inspired, right? Just the idea of the nervous system of course and to not feel bad about symptoms, but not what to actually do day by day...or did I miss this video?
In 2015 I got cf from running 100miles a week. No rest. I could run 40 miles fast with no fatigue then one day woke up and could hardly walk. It lasted 10 years only now getting active again but muscles in my quads still won't recover. Nearly 50 now and getting adhd assessment. No exercise for 10 years and then forced myself up a 6000m in nepal. 😂 I know I done this to myself overtraining and not listening to my body I had the same give it 100 per cent attitude and it was to much. I also wemt into pt and coaching as I could not do exercise but this burnt Mr out more. Also normal tests. Exact same situation.

Is cfs related to health anxiety? Cause i have all the same symptoms and now don't know if it's cfs or anxiety
Thanks for sharing❤
Whats also painful is seeing everyone getting ahead in life while youre stagnant or even going back
Same thing happened to me. Slow onset with symptoms for ages, until my body hit that finally wall and shut down. Back then, I wanted to go on to compete in strength sports, but now I can't even touch exercise.
You're not alone in this! Check this video out th-cam.com/video/ODfV4bXevOo/w-d-xo.html Hope it helps!
@@cfsrecovery Thanks, this was one of your best videos. Glad I watched it.
People like us should NOT listen to David Goggins. David Goggins is poison for us. 😂
😂😂😂 he’s definitely the opposite advice of what someone with cfs needs to hear hahah

What are the things you struggle with most at the moment?
Having enough energy to just get the basic tasks done, being able to be vertical for more than 15 min. and terrible brain fog

In 2015 I got cf from running 100miles a week. No rest. I could run 40 miles fast with no fatigue then one day woke up and could hardly walk. It lasted 10 years only now getting active again but muscles in my quads still won't recover. Nearly 50 now and getting adhd assessment. No exercise for 10 years and then forced myself up a 6000m in nepal. 😂 I know I done this to myself overtraining and not listening to my body
I had the same give it 100 per cent attitude and it was to much.
I also wemt into pt and coaching as I could not do exercise but this burnt Mr out more. Also normal tests. Exact same situation.
