The Find My Energy website is here to empower you to move through chronic fatigue, rather than being condemned to a life sentence in this state. Yet, the process of moving through can be lengthy. So, while you are travelling you will need some help for living with CFS.
And, I need to get really real with you. Whilst your ability to maintain a positive attitude of hope and determination, will help you, there is currently nobody who can guarantee a cure for your symptoms. So, yes, you are certainly looking at the possibility of living with CFS for life.
Not to depress you: that doesn’t mean you can experience no improvement. The experience of living with CFS will vary from day to day, week to week and month to month. So, you will want some tools offering you help for living with CFS.
Now, these can be actual physical aids. They can also be things that address the emotional challenges. A CFS diagnosis can feel very much as though someone just took away life as you know it. You may find it affects your relationships as well as your physical ability.

You can also use these tools alongside other treatments to support your recovery.
