The Chronic Illness Recovery Podcast

Tired of explaining how you feel?

There’s one question that can become surprisingly exhausting when you have M.E/CFS:
“How are you feeling?”

Because it rarely feels like a simple question.

Suddenly you’re explaining your symptoms.

Why you could make it to something yesterday but can’t today.

Why you might look fine even though you don’t feel fine.

And by the end of the conversation, you’re exhausted from trying to make someone understand.

In my latest podcast, I share a simple way to answer these questions without over-explaining yourself.

Plus, how to set boundaries when friends or family keep giving you advice you didn’t ask for.

What level of recovery are you in?

Most people with M.E/CFS know whether they feel better or worse.

But very few know what stage of recovery they’re actually in or what they should be focusing on next.

Over the past 17 years, I’ve seen the same patterns show up again and again.

So I’ve mapped them into 12 levels of recovery.

From feeling completely sick, suffering and lost…
To rebuilding your strength and confidence…
To eventually moving beyond recovery and living your life again.

In my latest podcast, I walk you through all 12 so you can see where you might be right now and what comes next.

3 harsh truths I wish someone told me sooner

If you’ve been going from doctor to doctor…
Trying supplement after supplement…

I want to share something with you.

There are 3 harsh truths about M.E/CFS recovery that can be difficult to hear at first.

The M.E/CFS identity crisis no one talks about

There’s a part of M.E/CFS that doesn’t get talked about enough.

Losing your sense of who you are.

Maybe you used to work, exercise, travel, socialise, look after your family, or simply get through a normal day without thinking twice.

Then M.E/CFS came along and suddenly so much of that disappeared.

And you can find yourself thinking:

Who am I if I can’t be the person I used to be?

That loss of identity can create an entirely different layer of suffering on top of the physical symptoms.

In my latest podcast, I talk about why this happens, how constantly comparing yourself to your old life can affect recovery, and how to start building a future that gives you hope again.
