In 2012, after a months long program of hard exercise (lots of intense jump/plyometric training) my left foot started to really hurt and be constantly tight on the underside. Podiatrist diagnosed Plantar Fasciitis, and prescribed anti-inflammatory meds + foot taping to relieve the pain walking...

Thank you I bookmarked Caufields story. It’s the closest I’ve found so far

Thank you both. I read that account and it’s of course inspiring. It may sound weird but I really need to find a success case or two that really looks like my girlfriend’s, to possibly use to speak to her about. Chronic Fatigue, neuron issues and/or autoimmune issues are what she has. I’ll keep...

Hi all. My desperate request: recovery stories from anyone like the person I’m about to describe: My girlfriend, the absolute love of my life the past 3 years since I met her, is - I am convinced - afflicted by severe and years-long Mind Body Disorders: Lyme (cured now I think, but she had a...

Thank you Jan!

Hi. I am a thin, fit male aged 43. The last 2-3 years developed mild sleep issues, culminating in a diagnosis of mild sleep apnea (10-15 AHI). After 4 months of compliant and “successful” (as in 0 AHI) CPAP treatment, I still constantly wake at night, leaving me tired most days. My neurologist...
