ME has been a personal journey, and without it I would have carried on existing whilst never truly reaching my optimum paradise. How many people are given an opportunity in life to step back, take time to realise if things aren't working re-evaluate and change them? I was given this time purely because I was housebound for two years, and took this experience as a positive journey which has now led me to a pathway that I never thought was possible.
My desperate days of not being able to breathe without restriction, barely being able to open the front door when my two children returned home from school, writing notes to my children because talking was not an option, are finally over. At the back of my mind I always had a vision of this dark tunnel but there was always flickers of light permeating through, I needed to focus on the particles of light and use this time for learning and taking a grip of what exactly I needed to achieve from this time that I would never be given again.
I started to see an osteopath, who worked on my lymphatic system draining all the bad toxins out of the body, this really helped my posture, and my dizziness and the cranial part improved my concentration. This was inevitably a two-year programme and was definitely working. After a year and a half I realised I was half way through that dark tunnel so the light was more apparent, but as much as I tried I couldn't reach those strides to get me to the sunlight.
I was told about Alex through a friend and decided to check out his website. After deliberating for a good week, I decided to give him a call, the only reason I made that call was because he had obviously been through so much I felt there must be a connection. Just to point out up to this stage I had tried cognitive therapy, Chinese medicine, GP's and was always searching the Internet for clues of how I could get my life back.
Alex gave me that vision, he taught me the tools, he gave me the confidence, and within three months I was back to optimum health.
Everybody out there who is experiencing M.E, either struggling on a daily basis after getting part of their life back but still having to recharge their batteries at any given moment, or feeling so alone because no one understands their desperation has the choice to either just struggle on, or reach for optimum health with Alex and the clinic, I made that call and now the world is my oyster.
