Living with Long-Term Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for Over 30 Years

Hi, I just wanted to tell everyone about my recovery after 31 years of being ill. Uh, my name is Diane . I live in Hamden, Connecticut, in the United States. And right now, I'm not working. And I had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,  and Also at the beginning, I did have fibromyalgia also, although after about,  somewhere around ten, after about ten years, it left for whatever reason.

My worst symptoms, the symptoms that, that bothered me the most were, lack of energy and lack of stamina because that's what kept me from doing things. But there were a lot of other symptoms too, like, gut symptoms, gut pain,  problems with eating various things, and having passing out episodes.

And I, I had those periodically at least once a month up until, even up until I, did, started the ANS REWIRE program. They are now history. I, I don't have those anymore. And those were, those were probably the worst because I never knew if I'd pass out,  in a public place, which could be a problem.

What Diane Tried Before ANS REWIRE

Before, long before enrolling in the ANS REWIRE program, I did try, a program by a, a medical doctor and naturopath, homeopathic doctor who had written a book. And I went to his clinic in Massachusetts and,  he gave me a lot of homeopathic remedies and acupuncture and other things. And actually during that time I got worse and I, I don't know if it was really because of the treatments or if I would have anyway, maybe I would have anyway.

But I certainly didn't get better. And I spent a lot of money,  way too much money on that. So in the following years after that, I kind of avoided any, any,  any programs. And occasionally I would try some supplement that somebody said, but after a few of those that did absolutely nothing, I stopped doing that too.

So at the point that,  the ANS REWIRE program came to my attention, I hadn't tried anything for a long time, for, for quite a few years.

Why Diane Decided to Try ANS REWIRE

There were two things that sold me on the ANS REWIRE program, One of them was listening to the free programs and hearing Dan talking about how he had had CFS and Fibromyalgia, and it was absolutely clear to me that he had had them. So that gave me some confidence in the program And then the other thing was the money back guarantee.

Diane’s Improvement After Starting ANS REWIRE

I thought you know, I really don't have anything to lose with this, so I decided to go ahead and it was a bit of a leap of faith, but I decided to try it and I am so glad I did because I've, I enrolled May 17th and today is, oh, so it's exactly May, June, July, August. It's exactly three months later. And,  I am tremendously better.

I had, in, in the years leading up to, to doing this program, I had gotten myself perhaps 20 percent better. And that was by various,  strategies that I found, like doing qigong and eating better and, um, and a few other little things that,  Got me somewhat better, but at this point, in the program, I, I'm continuing to do the program, but I would say that I am approximately 90 percent better, and I could, it could be more, it could be a little less,  but I feel extremely well.

I have stamina. I have energy, and I don't really have any symptoms, so,  it's, it's pretty wonderful. And my friends are talking about how well I look, how my demeanour is different, how animated I am, um, my color is better, and the old Diane is back, which is what I feel too.

Diane Gets Her Life Back After 31 Years of ME/CFS

And before I got sick,  I was working full time in a library.  I played the violin, I was taking violin lessons, I'd been taking them for quite a few years, and I played in a couple of orchestras, and um, played in a quartet and I had active social life with a lot of friends. So, you know, I had a good life, a busy life and a very fulfilling life, but I got sick gradually.

And the first thing that had to go was my violin playing. I had to quit that. And then,  my friends, I gave up my friends. And then after that, the last thing to go was my job. I was really afraid I didn't know what I was going to do if I couldn't work, but eventually I couldn't work and,  and things worked out.

But, now that I'm, now that I'm back, I want to do different things. For one thing, I'm a lot older. Um, though I feel younger than I've been for the last 31 years. And so I am, I'm in a Tai Chi class. And I am about to start taking Arabic lessons because I have a Syrian friend and I'd like to be able to understand some of her language.

And who knows what, what next I will do. But I also,  am going for a 40 to 50 minute walk every morning before breakfast, uh, which I never would have dreamed of being able to do three months ago.

Diane’s Message to People Considering ANS REWIRE

So life is good. You definitely should try this program if you have chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia, it, it is, it's not, it's not a magic bullet. You do have to put some effort into it, but it is well, well worth it. And if you don't have the money,  beg, borrow, or steal it. I don't really mean that.

But, but if you, if you, even if you had to borrow the money to do it, it is so worth it. Because then you can function. After, after you're better, you can function. You can, you can earn money.

The ANS REWIRE Experience above was recorded just 90 days after Diane started the program, when she described herself as approximately 90% better and said she no longer really had symptoms.

About a year after she first recovered, Dan sat down with Diane for a much more detailed recovery interview on the CFS Unravelled website. Looking back, that later interview describes her recovery as having taken about 90 days.

The full interview explores Diane’s complete 31-year journey — including the onset of ME/CFS and fibromyalgia, the many years of severe limitation, the treatments and challenges along the way, her experience with ANS REWIRE, and what life became like after recovery.

Importantly, it also provides longer-term follow-up, showing that the dramatic improvement captured in her early testimonial was sustained further down the track.
