Hi Terri and everyone out there,

I have something important to share. I joined this group 6 months ago when I moved to the Bay Area. I was diagnosed with CFIDS in 2004 and was living the typical CFIDS life, no job, house-bound often with fatigue, pains, crazy symptoms etc. etc. A few months ago, all that changed, basically I found a treatment that pretty much cured me and I desperately want to let everyone and anyone know so that maybe someone else can have the same improvement in quality of life that I have experienced. This isn’t a gimmick or hoax or anything, I’m probably just like most of you, typical CFIDS person who has tried everything to get back to your old self and feel normal again. You may be skeptical, as I was when I first heard of this. All I can say is give it a try, it can’t hurt anything.

So, all I did was read a few books by John Sarno, M.D. (Healing Back Pain, The Mind-Body Prescription, The Divided Mind). I know what you’re thinking… “this will not help me, I have a serious medical illness and a book is not going to help.” I was saying the exact same thing, I promise. This book is all about curing serious syndromes like CFIDS, FM, chronic back pain, IBS etc. It validates them as painful, real illnesses, but ones which are rooted in psychiatric phenomena. I know, it sounds weird and unbelievable. But it’s not. I am proof that it can work. All I can say is that I was desperate, I rented the books from the library, read them thoroughly a couple times, took notes and did a lot of thinking, and now I am cured.

I hope I don’t offend anyone by posting this. I honestly just want to help anyone I can, I know how terrible CFIDS can be and I really feel for anyone like me who has suffered from this awful illness.

Take care,
