At the age of 23, I was struck with disabling fatigue that never resolved. After two years of doctors’ visits, I was finally diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
It was a relief to hear – finally, I could begin treatment! But over the course of several more years, and as I accumulated many more diagnoses, it became clear that the allopathic medical system had little help to offer a person like me.
Unwilling to accept the status quo, I started my own research in earnest. I’ve read thousands of pages and hundreds of studies pertinent to my many health issues, including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, insomnia, and anxiety, among others.
Early successes treating several of my issues, including chemical sensitivity, give me purpose and drive to see through the journey to full recovery.
Self-Powered Recovery is a place to distill and simplify the latest scientific research for anyone who is looking to take their health, performance, and productivity to the next level.
