Thanks to Erik Johnson, Mold Pioneer and Warrior, I realized I have mis-communicated on a very important truth, in my book.
(This book, MCS: Banished from the Human Race, which happens to be free this week.)
I wrote: “By contrast, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is humanly impossible to overcome.” I didn’t mean that at all! LOL I meant the main SYMPTOM of CFS–as in extreme fatigue–cannot be pushed through. If one tries pushing past the energy trouble, when experiencing it, it can cause terrible crashes, increased symptoms, and worsening of the illness. Some have been made very, very ill by trying to do more than their body was ready for.
The symptom of fatigue is not like, for instance, pain. People can push through pain. They can ignore headaches, work despite muscle pain, take care of themselves even with digestive problems, function even while suffering all kinds of awful symptoms.
But the “fatigue” of CFS pretty much stops one dead in one’s tracks. Like being handcuffed or hogtied and sometimes gagged. That is how seriously impacting it can be.
On the other hand, CFS itself as a syndrome CAN be overcome!!!!! Through extreme (sounds bad but it’s not) mold and chemical avoidance.
To learn more, click on Erik’s name, read more on Paradigm Change, read the books listed there, read my blog, etc.!
I will try to get these into the book soon, but edits take a while in turnaround time. In the meantime, I wanted you to know! 🙂
