Just happened to see this comment mentioning "growing pains" in your legs. My 4 yr old occasionally (but often enough for it to be a concern) complains of his knees being "hot," and he's definitely suffering when it happens. But they're not hot or warm to the touch, and there doesn't appear to...

Cool, thanks for your reply. The original book I was able to download for free as a PDF so I'll check it out, but I'm seeing a good therapist right now and need to stick to a routine involving the Curable app or the 30-day program here and go from there, rather than head in a whole new...

thank you! I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner. My fatigue often takes the form of being brain fogged and very overwhelmed by the thought of taking on tasks, like responding to this in a meaningful way. But for now I at least want to say thank you for taking the time to respond. The reason I...

I see a few posts asking about Mickel Therapy from years back but no one who actually tried it. I'm now reading elsewhere about many people who have recovered (or gotten dramatically better, if not completely recovered) from Mickel Therapy, and it takes about 5 sessions, it seems. Sounds similar...

Any chance you ever looked into this further? I'm now reading about many people who have recovered (or gotten dramatically better, if not completely recovered) from Mickel Therapy, and it takes about 5 sessions, it seems. Sounds similar to TMS, in that it's about finding and addressing the root...

I've been suffering from fatigue for 4 years. I recovered from chronic back pain after discovering Sarno, but replacing "fatigue" with "pain" just doesn't work for me, and I think there are major differences (despite full believing they're both TMS). For instance, there's so much written about...

Hi Ellen, I know it's been years since you posted this, but just checking in on your progress and if anything has been working for you. I'm not sure if I've written to you before. I appreciate your comment, because I feel the same as you (and was frustrated by the advice to "take a nap" and go...

Hi Wavy Soul, I'm so curious by you calling Gupta "much simpler" because I've been finding it the opposite! In fact, it became overwhelming to me and I stopped it, even though I know it's helped so many people. When I had chronic daily backpain, it took about 2 months of educating myself and...

It's near impossible to bring in a babysitter during a global pandemic, though... ! :) I'm with all of you on this. My CFS is definitely connected to numerous aspects of raising my child. I'm a single parent to a toddler. My fatigue has existed since he was in the womb, where it was easily just...

I feel EXACTLY the same way. I get through the day — I have a full time job and a three yr old — but it’s a struggle and after I put him to bed I just fall apart and need to get in bed. My body and brain just can’t do it anymore. I recently started the Gupta Program. I believe in TMS and think...

Definitely not tiredness like I didn't sleep. It's like full-body and mind weight. I'd like to just be in bed all the time. I don't even feel a desire to get up and do fun things, because my body is so weighed down and my brain so fogged that what I really desire is to just lie down. (That's...

Thanks for writing back right away. I did read that Schubiner article a while back and it jumpstarted me into realizing this really is TMS. I'm going to do the program. I have a bunch of books, but I'm finding that since they're really specific to pain and not fatigue, I think that it's not...

Thanks. I've been getting better at that in terms of getting up in the morning. For years I couldn't convince myself to get up early if I didn't have work or my baby waking me. But now, really living in this fatigue, I know without a doubt that whether I get up at 7am or 10am I'm going to feel...

This is a great response and reminder to look at the "why." I'm excited to see you recovered from CFS because I've been fatigued for over a year myself. What do you mean exactly when you say "the program"? I've been struggling for a long time convinced it's TMS but not seeing any changes. I've...
