Summary
Louise Mallen, a former primary school teacher from Scotland, struggled for years with severe ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and chronic migraines. Initially skeptical of mind-body approaches, she experienced a significant shift after engaging with the community and literature that validated her experiences and revealed the links between emotional well-being and physical symptoms. Her recovery journey was aided by resources such as the Curable app, leading her to eventually overcome her symptoms and use her experience to support others facing similar challenges.
Quotes
- I thought I'm having a stroke... but they were telling me that nothing was wrong.
- A friend of mine recovered... I opened my phone and it was her and it was a picture of her as a child and she said I've recovered.
- I had known this person through a crafting community... and I couldn't say that about her because I knew how ill she'd been.
- When people recover what would be that people would say oh well you can't have had ME because people with ME don't recover.
- It's not a case of curing ourselves but rather it's more a case of attunement to the nervous system and I just thought well that makes complete sense.
