Mollie’s ME/CFS and POTS recovery success with ANS REWIRE

Hi, my name is Mollie and, um, I live in Western Mass in the United States. I'm here to talk about the ANS REWIRE Program. I got sick with chronic fatigue about four and a half years ago and I was really sick. I spent most of my day lying on the couch and, every task was difficult for me. I really had to plan my whole life around the chronic fatigue, um, and there was lots I couldn't do.

I couldn't go on vacation with my family and, going to parents night at my son's school and things like that were really difficult. Going to the supermarket. I had terrible post exertional fatigue. Terrible fatigue, um, and lots of other really uncomfortable symptoms. I had hot flashes. I had sweats, I had migraines. And life was really difficult. I tried lots of things to get better. I tried lots of medications and most of them made me feel worse. I tried to exercise and do yoga and stuff like that, but I couldn't keep it up because I'd get sicker again. And, and, sometimes it would make me sicker.

And I tried supplements, which helped a tiny bit and kind of got me stabilized at maybe 10 to 15 percent of functioning. And that's where I was for a long time. I didn't really think I was going to get better. I thought that if I did get better, it would be a spontaneous remission because I really didn't see what I could do that would help me.

And, um, I found out about the Rewire program and I thought I'd give it a shot. And part of me was really hopeful that it would work, and part of me really did think that I was doomed to be sick forever. So I started the program five and a half months ago. And, um, since then, I've gotten my health back.

I'm probably, like, 95 percent well. I have a few little symptoms that I'm still dealing with, but, my life doesn't revolve around the illness anymore. Later today, I'm gonna take my son to the beach, which is easy for me now. I can do lots of errands in a row without even having to think about it. I'm starting to think about going back to work soon.

Um, and my family's really excited to have me back. I don't have brain fog anymore, so I can think clearly all day. It's very exciting. So, I found the program really great because it led me step by step through the process. It wasn't overwhelming. Um, it was sort of, one thing to do at a time, one thing to focus on at a time.

And that worked really well for me. So I'd recommend the program to anyone who's sick and suffering, and it's definitely something you should try. I've been trying to get the word out to friends and acquaintances I know who have people in their lives who have chronic fatigue. It's definitely something you should try.

I can't believe that in five and a half months I'm hiking up mountains and doing all this stuff that seemed impossible this spring. So, thank you.
