Partly true.
Strenuous exercise actually made my condition worse. That turns out to be a symptom of CFS/ME, I found out later.
These therapies generally proved to be ineffective when I didn't do any emotional work.
Since doing the emotional work, moderate exercise and nutrition work and stretching exercises (yoga/pilates) add to the effectiveness of my efforts.
- scotty79 8y agoIf you tried to improve your condition with strenuous excercise... plus all other things you listed... paleo.. antidepressants... I'm beginning to suspect your improvement might be completely due to you stopping doing bad things to yourself while trying to improve your health. You remind me of the people that start little unhappy but make themselves miserable for life by strenuously searching their happiness around everywhere. > moderate exercise and nutrition work and stretching exercises (yoga/pilates) That actually sounds like reasonable thing to do to your body. Regardles of my intelectual objections I'm glad you finally started to improve.

Thanks for the kind words and the discussion :) I understand the urge to be skeptical and dismissive. I've been like that myself over this very topic before I experienced and learned what I have. Please do keep an open mind and think about what I've tried to convey. After all, the whole reason I shared my experience is because it aligns with aligns with the scientific hypothesis that's in the very article on which this discussion is based. So it's not just something I dreamed up. There is a growing body of research on this topic - though I wish it could somehow grow faster. Best wishes to you.
