Brief summary: Marie recovered from ME/CFS by doing Mickel therapy, which included setting boundaries (which she had never done before), learning to listen to her own emotions, letting go of perfectionism, and yes, truly believing that she could get better. Great job!

Thank you.

I’ve read the book she mentioned. All the stories are different and like most stories the pathway to recovery is often vague as it’s never really just one thing. There was ONE thing that was pretty constant in all the stories however. And that was that every one of them mentioned how they believed they would get better. Belief in recovery is so fundamental.

As soon as I heard Miguel the first time, first time I realized others knew if CFS miraculously stopped symptoms. After 30 years of some form of this, this past year was the worst. Something in my brain must have snapped because so far, knock wood, nothing. Feel great. Idk why! But if I start getting symptoms now, I rest a bit, but gorge thru and they're gone. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop but so far, so good

Exactly! I learned that I needed to listen too my emotions and respond to them, take appropriate action. Emotions are messages, symptoms are messages we need to listen to 😊

Raelan, I just wanted to say thank you for your videos. I have been making so much progress on recovering from my chronic illness that basically completely debilitated me this whole last year. During some of my lowest moments, I would watch your videos for comfort and hope, as well as guidance. Thank you for everything you do ♥️

Have you read any of Dr John Sarno's books? He started with back pain so many people think it does not apply to them but he later realized it was most chronic conditions to include chronic pain (that is not caused by disease). Dr Sarno goes into repressed emotions by people with a certain personality type. This type of person is a people please, a goodest he called us. You will probably see yourself in every page; I did. Another good book is The Great Pain Deception by Steve Ozanich; he was in chronic pain for 30 years, same personality type and healed himself using Dr Sarno's work.

My doctor forced me to take anxiety pills. I kept saying that my thyroid was off. It is walking for many months without treatment that lead to cfs. I took the anxiety pills for a week. And then i came by and stopped immediatly becausd of the side effects. I spiraled so fast. It left me with chronic dizzines, depersonalisation and ringing in the ears. I suit him.

Argh this one was soooo interesting for me!! This is exactly what happened at the beginning of mine, I kept having panic attacks out of nowhere for seemingly no reason, no mental health stuff preceding it, I could not understand what was going on at all. Then all this weird stuff with 'over breathing' (hyperventilating but slowly over a longer period of time leaves you feeling like you're going to feint, and all weird and then can end up triggering a panic attack from that point). I continued getting the odd panic attack through the beginning stages of my illness - even woke up a dew times in the middle of the night literally having one being triggered whilst I was asleep. Totally insane. VERY interesting to hear this being talked about as someone else's experience. Fascinating

Yep, definitely have PTSD from traumatic doctors appointments (some doctors get it tho). What a great interview 👏 lovely lady, I'm glad she found her key.

Thank you Marie. You had me in tears as I listened to your story. I connected with the emotional issues that was the turning point for you and that I too found in myself that is leading to my recovery😊🌈❤️

An incredible saga, for sure. The Mickel therapy sounds a lot like the ANS REWIRE program I am completing, with encouraging results only five weeks in. Thanks again for the ongoing support and encouragement.

Omg the gaslighting with the antidepressants.

Great to hear some UK recoveries stories Raelan. As I live in the UK, I could really relate to Marie humour and wonderful way of telling her life changing recovery story. I love Yorkshire people, so warm and friendly. Love the dancing as part of your healing Marie. I know it was part of my healing too from long-Covid. We are all unique and on a journey. I like you, I knew straight away what would help me recover from symptoms. When I listening to Rebecca Tolin on KZread eg: long-Covid recovery stories. I knew for me this was the path for me. So when I heard she ran a course called Be your own medicine I knew I had to enrolled in it. It was a life changing. I so glad Marie you found your healing and shared what help you heal as that will help so many others.

I can relate so much to Marie’s experience with doctors when I used to visit them and the 50 recovery stories book gave me some hope and inspiration in the early days …everything from lightening process, eft, very light incremental exercise, diet as you may expect. I even had a phone session with the author Alex Barton. Her recovery she attributed to a more protein based diet I seem to remember…..she analysed my food and drink for a week and advised more protein. And yes I tried a Mickel Therapy session to see what it was all about.

@@katalinmcewan not really …. a combination of lifestyle changes and v gentle exercise helped. But it was not a linear improvement and I relapsed a few years ago having thought I had finally recovered. So still trying.

Since 1981, my analysis led to my “theory of the day”. I am still looking but it makes me laugh now. 😂😂😂

Stress - including the stress of being ill - wipes out the body’s ‘stress-management’ nutrients, like B vitamins & Magnesium. As many of us are already deplete due to the highly refined & processed, nutrient-stripped modern diet placing far higher demands on the body for these nutrients than it supplies, one stressful episode whether acute or chronic, whatever it might be, can drain what’s left, plunging us into abject deficiency-land. Some people may be deplete for years with ongoing stress. As all the B vitamins, but especially B1 (Thiamine) & B12 are hugely involved in Nervous System function (which of course controls breathing), energy (ATP) production & digestive function, any depletion can have severe impacts on the body. It’s no coincidence that so many of the CV & long-haul issues are Nervous System-related, like the breathing issues/air hunger, neuropathy, walking/gait issues, heart & CVS issues, Anosmia, sensitive skin, etc, etc, etc. Anxiety & panic attacks, too. If low enough, cognitive issues, memory loss, even paranoia & dementia. Before CV even struck, one of my issues with B12 deficiency was breathing issues, air hunger, like my Autonomic Nervous System had ‘forgotten’ how to breathe automatically. It was very scary until I figured out what the issue was & bought fast-acting sublingual liquid B12 drops with both active forms, which dealt with it promptly. And Thiamine & a good decent dosage B-complex to address my digestive & neuropathy & other nerve-related issues (burning feet is early neuropathy symptom - the myelin sheath around the nerves is beginning to break down & is affecting nerve function). I reversed it all with diet & the supplements - gluten free, refined sugar-free, virtually all dairy-free & refined oil free, just natural unprocessed food. Antibiotics may potentially make things worse because they destroy so much of the gut biome, including the B vitamin metabolising & generating microbes in the gut & mess with our ability to absorb &/or utilise B vitamins from our food or digested supplements. People can recover eventually, especially if they are eating a good, natural unprocessed diet & are taking decent supplements to make up the shortfall. But it takes work & dedication to do so.

Such an inspiring recovery story. Thanks so much Marie. Are you able to share the details of Angela please? I'm in Shropshire UK and would really love it if she could help me too xx

Gasping for air, migraines, sore feet, those things sound very familiar. Plus more! 7 years of it.. I ve got that book she's talking about too, 50 recovery stories.. great book..I used to be sure I would recover, but now not so sure.. But Glad she's feeling much better now!.. Edited to add.. I have been dx for the past 7 years with "pots". Recently came to find out my ekg and echo of the heart show up several abnormalities. AND I may have been misdiagnosed. Just hoping the years delay hasn't caused irreversible damage

But I have learned that it’s ok to permit the bad days as long as we continue believing we will recover. We all take different durations and paths, but I genuinely believe you, myself and everyone listening to this channel will recover. It’s a matter of time. Sending 💕

​​@@melissanreynoldsmickel therapy is all about identifying emotions ( called "keys" . Ie , im lonely , so i'll ring a friend?! Or , im bored so i'll whatever , or whatever else. I could never identify exactly what was my emotional key, mostly the sessions made me angry and frustrated, and i wasted nearly 1000 pounds. Seems to have helped some people though, so what do i know ? Seems very simplistic to me . Basically, in a lot of these things, if the person believes in it , then they can often recover, which kind of means it is the placebo effect at work.

@@dommccaffry3802 so I can see how that helps some people. But I've spent the past 12 years believing I was improving and I'll be better (I still have hope) but very real physical issues keep arising so maybe there's a difference between sub sets of people and their conditions. The curable app felt like it was telling me to wish away symptoms ignore things and get on with it which did not go well. We need to be very careful how we frame things I think, neuroplasticity is important but not the sole cure
