CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME / MYALGIC ENCEPHALOPATHY

 

CFS/ME is an often poorly understood but very debilitating condition that can affect every aspect of an individual’s life.

CFS/ME affects people in different ways and often no two people experience the condition in the same way. The main feature is persistent and overwhelming physical and mental fatigue, which differs from normal tiredness. It is not adequately relieved by rest and is usually out of proportion to the activity undertaken.

​

A range of other symptoms often accompany the fatigue. These include:

• Generalised muscle and/or joint pain.

• Headaches.

• Swollen glands.

• Recurring infections – often sore throats.

• Some people have feelings of dizziness and temperature fluctuations.

• There are frequently some difficulties with memory and concentration.

• Many people experience problems with their sleep, either excessive sleep cycles or poor and broken sleep. Often individuals describe having vivid dreams and wake feeling un-refreshed no matter how long they sleep.

• Many people also describe sensitivities to some foods and medicines.

Having worked with this condition for over 10 years and treated many people both young and old, I believe that the condition is very treatable using a wide range of person centred and holistic approaches.  Learning and applying the some of the evidence based tools and strategies and incorporating Hypnosis and NLP techniques can improve your health and wellbeing significantly.
