Thanks Anna, I was a competitive, and becoming successful, amateur endurance MTBer until 5 years ago when ME took hold. I'm currently doing Mickel Therapy with Dr Mickel and very hopeful. You are an inspiration for sure!
@@ScottSThomson thanks for your comment. I didn't know Dr Mickel himself still practiced. That's really good to know because the lady I used has stopped practicing and I don't know who to recommend anymore. If you/he has any other suggestions please do comment here because I get asked fairly regularly. Ps. Hope you recover soon 💖
Hi Anna - just looked for fibromyalgia recovery stories and found this video 🤣 Fantastic to hear about your recovery - Congratulations and well done for persisting and finding your way to recover and sharing your story.
Totally get you, my wife Suffered with M.E. got told she would never work again by a specialist in M.E.(about 20 years ago) She aslo weaned herself off all the tablets, and beat this horrible condition all on her own... she now works as a support team leader ... well done, I know how difficult it is
I did mickel therapy for a long time and it didnt help me sadly, i know we can all recover but its not the same answer for every one and its about what our brain will believe makes it feel safe and tuen off fight or flight
Anna, you rock for posting this video. Please never take it down. I am a primary care doc with fibro for past 7 yrs. Accepted my diagnosis when it became incredibly disabling in the past 2 years. Thankfully have been recovering for past 6 months and that process has been equally confusing, scary, and eye-opening. I am now committing my free time on finding more about what the heck happened to me over the past 7 years and what is happening to others w/ fibro. Imcommenting here to let you know I will email your gmail and hopefully we can share each others experiences sometime. Thank you for the heart and love you put into this video
Hi, i'm sorry i never saw your comment. So interesting your journey. How are things with you now and have you learnt any more from your position of care?
Anna, I'm so grateful for you sharing your story. It's amazing ❤ I can completely imagine how much you didn't want to go over it all again...I don't think I would want to either! So thank you 😊 When you described how hard it is to remember how bad you felt as you are living your life again I got so emotional. I can't wait for that feeling! Big hugs xx
Thank you so much for sharing these truths, Anna! "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." This is very helpful in understanding how to deal with something that most of the medical community doesn't understand.
In recap, you were honest with yourself in regards to what needs to be changed in your life and you took action. This necessitates awareness of the now.
I loved watching your podcast Anna! I am determined to put CFS behind me. Had it 10 months now. I will investigate Mickel Therapy. Many thanks for sharing your story.
Heya, I just looked at my comments on this video and thought I'd check in to see if you ever tried it? I hope you're doing well and moving on from CFS. Anna x
I did try it. And I did improve 90% but it did not last. However I'm still focusing on full recovery that includes Mickel therapy . Will get there! Thank you for checking on me!
My wife has had her life ruined by sudden onset CFS/ME since Oct 24, 1985. I’m afraid to even hope. But will investigate. Profound thanks for your openness.
Oh that breaks my heart! Basically from when I was born. It's not fair. Gill did tell me a story about a 60 year old woman who had had it for 40 years and recovered with this therapy. She then obviously had to deal with a grieving process to deal with all this years of life lost, so it wasnt all butterflies and daisies. The story stuck with me. But the thing is that she got better after all those years and still has years ahead. I hope this works for your wife too. I'm sure of it. Best of luck and I'd be keen to hear from you on the other side xxxx
Ps. Something I didn't talk about was the huge effect it had on my family, husband and friends. This must've been really hard for you too. Here's to you guys enjoying some active time together ❤️
Anna talks some about the mental link with sofas! After more years in ‘trouble’ these mental glitches can be more ingrained in the brain, for this, hypnotism can, where done by a good practitioner, be a good approach to get to the next level. 🤞
Thank you very much for sharing your experience... I was just searching for "something else" to help me fight this Fibromyalgia /Arthritis (I never know which pain belongs to which one) and your video did really took me up again, I really needed it 😊. I have been told the same as you by the doctors, those diseases don't have a cure and that I would have to deal with them for the rest of my life and I can't accept that. I started to changed all my lifestyle and nutrition, yoga, breathing, cold showers, more walking even in pain when it was possible, etc two years ago and quit my medication of course the doctors didn't agree so I was on my own. But I got into remission with RA after one year and even blood tests come out normal they still want to put me into meds cause I still have a lot of pain but I asume it's the Fibromyalgia... I was just crying not knowing what else to do trying to fight these things... and specially doing it in a way the majority of people around wouldn't do it's a hard lonely fight... so I will do some more research about this therapy. Thank you so much, you've just lighted up my day 😊
Oh man, I just saw your comment come through and it reminded me of that horrible, terrified feeling. I'm so sorry. Please do get in touch with Gill@gillgoughtherapy.co.uk I am sure she can help you. I just spoke to her this week actually, just to keep on top of things. And I've never been ill again. Best of luck xxx
That's a really great video Anna. Thank you for sharing your personal journey. I think there's some good life management advice in there for all of us.
This is similar to Pain Reprocessing Therapy named by Alan Gordon... it's what I've been practicing to try to end my fibro. I recommend his book The Way Out to anyone suffering from any kind of chronic pain including fibromyalgia
Well done Anna. I have had no personal contact with Fibromyalgia or ME but I ride and missed seeing your updates while you were away from the scene. I just wanted to say how good it is to have you back! X
I am told all the time I am not positive enough! 😖 I have lived with so much pain from this issue, those people don't know the pain you experiencing your pain is coming from the emotional not all fibromyalgia comes from that way sometimes it's from a lack of the right vitamins or minerals that your body needs so glad you got yourself better you do deserve Better Health we all do.👩💜🐶🐾
Wonderful inspiring video. What I still cannot understand is why people who discuss Mickel attract so many negative comments. Peddling pseudo science etc. Mickel therapy worked for me
I was told to think about giving up work. I was in agony and scared of what my life was going to look like. I read everything I could about it but only positive things. I didn’t listen to anything negative. I changed my diet. Logged and tracked everything I did. My attitude towards work and life is now that I will never let anyone make me unhappy. If I hate my job, I’ll leave and find something else. My pain has reduced. I’m capable of more. What you’re saying is exactly right. I am really hopeful that I can get rid of this awful illness. Stay away from toxic positivity, eat well, laugh with friends, have fun. Work comes last on the list. It’s time we stopped giving in to working all the hours under the sun and having no life.
I have heard several stories about how people overcame fibromyalgia. Everyone has something different that they did. A certain medicine, a certain exercise, and on and on. I wish something would be simple, but it seems to be an individual treatment that helps people. Hard part is finding your treatment.
Omg you are the first person and this really resonates with me!! Even the sofa and I actually was thinking there was something wrong with my sofia and my bed🤷♀️🤦♀️. I had endometriosis, and I need to get a new job. My worst fear is not being able to do the new job I get, whether it be I'm not smart enough or because I'm in so much pain I won't be able to work. I still dont understand how it works with pain from a broken arm persay, but thank you😊
I'm glad it helped! Yeah, I'm doing pretty good thanks! I do have a twitchy eyelid again, I think from just having too much on my plate. But generally healthy and well 🙏😊I hope you are too :)
@@annaglowinski Dear Anna, I did some research after watching your video and found sth. similar to Mickel Therapy, it's called Reverse Therapy. After rewatchig your video today, I am pretty sure, that these are basically the same. Three months after my first comment I had a few sessions where I learned to be a better listener to my body and I started to make some progress very quickly. I can ride the bike again without any problems. I did so today for 2 hours. If you had asked me three months ago, I thought this would be absolutely impossible to do it ever again. I surely have some work to do, but there are so many things I couldn't do for years, and now I can enjoy them again. Fantastic! Thank you very much for your video, it helped me a lot! All the best!
What an amazing story Please tell more about your Way to recovery with the Mickel Therapy. It sounds like you’ve found the key to a super imunesystem…thanks
Interesting, person-centred counselling can focus on physical sensations and feelings and lead to pain reduction. I'm a mental health support worker at the moment and encourage people to monitor how they're feeling mentally and physically and act based on that without guilt. This seems like a more focused explicit way to do the above.
I still have no idea what Mickel therapy is and how it helps. But thank you very much for sharing your experience, I suffer FM symptoms since 2016. Wish you all the best.
Really? You didn´t understand? Um, let´s see if I can sum it up here. Everytime you get a symptom you make a note of it (either written or mentally). You check what you are doing and how you are feeling. You then change what you are doing and take an action to change how you are feeling. You see if the symptom has reduced. Repeat. When you go into it with a therapist, its more detailed, more obvious and more personal to you. You learn to listen to your own body. They´re just hugely exaggerated emotions. Like, if a normal emotion is tense muscles because you are scared, FM muscles are siezed up. If a normal emotion is lethargy becuase you are bored, FM is extreme tiredness. Hope that helps and hope you manage to get rid of it. I couldn´t have done it alone, because it wasn´t obvious to me without a therapist. You know the expression "can´t see the wood for the trees"? It was like that. Best of luck x
Thanks, yeah, I´m so happy to be better. Mostly I just don´t think about it. It was a terrible, terrible time in my life that I´ve moved on from. But I am grateful and so happy to be better :) Thanks for your comments and support!
Hi Anna Me and my grandson jaylen always watched mtb adventures from the first series, you were and still are a very good presenter, With all the crap the bbc & itv put on our screens what it lacks is a good mtb series, like me and everyone probably was unaware of all the situations you've been through, but yet you still look happier than my x, Im lucky ive never been ill, but unfortunately ive been divorced 16 years after a 23 year marriage my dream was to move to Spain when im sixty of course with my x, we even bought an apartment, the reason im telling you this if I knew you were living in a field you could have stayed in it, Im supposed to go out there tomorrow but not up to it, I think you would make a great tour guide for tourist who are looking to go mountainbiking, seen many they Pay up front you then take them on 4-5 day trip? sure you can rent the mountainbikes,
He’s all grown up he always out on his scooter at skate ball parks with his friends now? Seems a long time ago we made this video ruclips.net/video/qWtNE1wKBXE/видео.htmlsi=6I1Ti6RR-HwoWH8x Are you still in Spain? I was hoping to get a visa so I can moved to my home in Villamartin ? But bought a narrow boat to have fun on? Miss your videos Steve and Jaylen ❤️
Heya Czar, my recommendation? try a bit of Mickel therapy anyway, don´t wait for diagnosis because it takes ages, tehy daignose by ruling everything else out. It´s a horrible process of hospital appointments and worry and just not a lot of fun. Or at least, try and start to take note of yourself...what moments do you flare up? Are you feeling worried? Bored? Annoyed? and start noticing when you feel alright. What things in life might be really worrying you? These days, even when I get a common cold I try to give my body the best chance to fight it by making sure I´m emotionally at my best, which then makes my body stronger. Anyway, whatever you do, best of luck xx
Hysterectomy fix the pain, then by doing the opposite, you fixed the fibromyalgia. Without the hysterectomy, you would still have fibromyalgia. Doing the opposite can help some, it can also make it worse. Finding the injury or pain that has caused the fibromyalgia, can be very difficult. I'm glad you found a way out. Unfortunate for me, my fibro comes from atypical trigeminal neuralgia. Doing the opposite for me, would be no sound, no light, no chewing, no talking etc.
What helped me and many others was a vegan and high nutrition diet. I have lived with Fibromyalgia for decades. There might be various causes for people. Nothing worked for me except diet change. Dr Fuhrman’s high nutrition diet relieved symptoms after a few months on the diet. It is challenging to change your diet, but it works.
Hi Anna, Congrats on your remarkable recovery. Many thanks for your honest, courageous and engaging video. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2020, although reflecting back it started several years before then. Over this time the symptoms have gotten aggressively worse and now experiencing intermittent intense pain in my right foot that seems to be getting worse. I have been having acupuncture treatment so not sure if the treatment is part of fibro or something else entirely until I have it examined. I had felt for a long time it was my body sending me messages to regain more control over my health and well-being, as I have been also diagnosed with a frozen shoulder too and skin issues that I previously never suffered with, all getting progressively worse. I have not taken sufficient action on the work I know needs to be done. In this aspect, you have confirmed that I need to do the work and provided some helpful tools to possibly get it done, although it may not be the same for everyone. May well check out the therapist you used. I had about 8 sessions of acupuncture, and whilst very relaxing and helping to ease muscle tension, it has not been beneficial in treating the root of the problem, which is what has happened to me and my ability to meaningfully process it, take action, and move on from it. My fibromyalgia pain is quite overwhelming, equally on an emotional level too. Seeing my body becoming so stiff and so restricted in movement. I have faith in God, who I believe led me to your video despite your own beliefs in this area. : ) With heartfelt gratitude. . I look forward to posting mine here too as a thank you to you and to inspire others too. : )
I'm not entirely sure. Give her a shout. There was another guy who I spoke to a couple of times intuitivehealth.co.uk/ or try a Google search for Mickel Therapist x
Thank you, u r one person who gets it. U did not dwell enough on what nickel therapy is. The joint pain fatigue, inflammation, brain fog, everything hurts! This does give some hope. Can I ask you if ur broke can you ask the queen for some change? Isn't she worth $88 billion? 🤣😂🤞🙏 The advice was good though ❤️. 💞🧐
Hiya, i'm sorry to hear that. I'd suggest Google searching "mickel therapy therapist" or something. Or looking for anyone that understands the emotional and physical body connection. Good luck!! X
I’ve just been diagnosed Fibromyalgia and my thoughts are “I’m getting over this”. I do notice it gets worse when I wake and strangely sitting on the sofa in the evenings just like you mentioned. Did you change your diet? Thanks for the video. Cheered me up.
And that's all it will do-cheer you up. This woman thinks the sofa is relevant. It's your body's position when you're sitting that's the problem, not the sofa!
Hi glowinski I'm suffering from fibro and IBS from 1 year. Could you please elaborate what all things does mickel therapy??? I badly want to get out of this living hell. You are a hope to me pls revert.
Hello, I am so sorry to hear that. You are right, it is hell!! I'm not sure how much more I can elaborate? I tried my best in this video to explain. Try reading some comments below. The best thing you can do is speak to an expert. My lady will gill @ gillgoughtherapy.co.uk Best of luck. You can get better I promise!! Xx
Thank you :) It might sound wierd, but now I have my health back I kind of try to avoid spending too much time in the world of health. I´m just so grateful to ahve my life back, I´ve worked out what works for me and just trying to enjoy living. I felt I had to share this video for other sufferers out there, but I´m kinda put off from lingering in this area. Hopefully other people who see your comment and are looking to inform themselves more can make use out of it as I just really hope more people recover. Nobody deserves to be so ill x
Hi are you still there . I'm thankful for your video and I want to try. Tbh I am or was a very positive person and iv had enough now. I haven't killed myself for religious reasons but that's it. I really want to get better . I need your help . I can pay I just need please to be ok again . Constant pain . And it's been 3 years now thanks
Hi Patrick. Oh dear, you poor thing!!! I've been there, I was pretty suicidal too. I'm reading a book at the moment called 'When your body says no' by Gabor Mate that you might find useful. But your best thing is to get in touch with a therapist of this kind. I've spoken to Gill at gillgoughtherapy.co.uk and Saul at intuitivelhealth.com
Best of luck! I'm super confident in it. Give it your best shot and whatever you try, just keep on trying. Life with CFS sucks and there is totally a way out xx
Thanks so much for this video. Very helpful. 💗 Does a Mickel therapist help to brainstorm solutions when times are tough? And would you say that Mickel therapy is almost the opposite of brain retraining courses such as ans rewire that you mentioned?
Yeah, they definitely did help brainstorm. That was my main problem really, I was unable to identify the things that were bothering me. Some of the solutions were for "next time". Like I remember one time getting really stressed because I went to rent a car and they only accepted credit card, which I didn't have. And the therapist told me to read the small print next time. Hahaha.
Thank you Anna!! I think I’m going to brave the transition from psycho therapy to Mikel therapy after listening to this... so many synchronicities as I watch you too.. haha cus I’m British and live in Spain and my ex is a BMXer haha. I feel like I’m meant to follow this, xo
Hi Carly, I just wondered how you are getting on? I never saw your comment the first time around, sorry. Pretty funny about your ex being a bmxer! Hope you're doing well. Anna x
@@annaglowinski hey Anna! I haven't made the change yet... But I'm thinking about it a lot. Like I've only just checked my notifications on here right now 7 months later and I'm in bed having a bit of a melt down lol just another sign!! My therapist says he's somatic etc etc.. but I just speak to him as a counsellor more or less now.. Im just so confused!! Xo
Did you have it in every muscle.ive got it constant in shoulders intermittent in feet pelvic pain stiff knee when twisted it 8 months ago any up down fatigue
How are you doing now? My friend has fibromialgia and shes really suffering right now. Should I send her this video or is that overstepping my bounds as a friend?
Wow, good question. I would get pissed off when i was ill with people saying "have you tried ... XYZ" and i was thinking "i've tried EVERYTHING!!!" . But at the same time, it was someone contacting me on Instagram that gave me my solution. So, i would say that as a friend it would be a shame not to give her new options and ideas but maybe approach it gently, like, just that you're thinking of her and not that you're trying to tell her what to do. You sound like a lovely friend for being so considerate, so i'm sure she'd know you're intentions are from a good place xx
Ps. I'm still fine. I still get my moments of warning from my body and have to remember what I've learnt and go back to basics e.g. this summer i had a few days of insomnia because i got so wired from doing child care and trying to please everyone else around me too. It meant some uncomfortable conversations and saying no to people who've not really known me to say no before but I muddled through and got my sleep pattern back :)
Because it's not about the stress. It's about how you deal with it. I dealt with it wrong, slapped a smile on and pretended I was fine. So that meant my body started screaming at me. It's never a good idea to suppress tears or frustration or to ignore worry, but that's what I did wrong
@@annaglowinski my aunt doesn't address emotions. She has strong ability to brush everything under the carpet. She shows no emotions at all despite suffering. Is that the same as what your saying?
@@Star5dg possibly! I'm no expert and can't speak for every individual, I can only speak for what worked for me and how I understand it. For me, I understand it like, our emotions are all experienced physically (e.g. sweaty palms when scared, butterflies in tummy when worried, water coming out of our eyes when sad) and that exists as a way to alert us that something is wrong. If you ignore those feelings, like I did by keeping busy doing sport, they just get stronger in time because you're not doing anything about it. They know now that IBS is also caused by the same type of thing - anxiety and people not knowing how to confront their worries. I hope your aunt finds ways to deal with her troubles in a healthy way for her 🤞🌺
Hi, i'm so sorry to hear you're suffering with fibromialgia. And sorry for not replying sooner. I'm fine now. Sometimes I have moments of insomnia (for a few days this summer when i was too busy looking after everyone else) or tinnitus (when my body tells me i need to chill out). But they're warning signs to remind me to look after myself again and Say "no" to things
We can manage FM/ME for sure. Hydrotherapy & yoga definitely in my daily routine. However FM is not something you can cure or recover from. You can be 2 on the scale rather than 10. But not being able to fall asleep or pain will never go away completely. If that is the case , you never had FM to begin with
That's just not true. I had it for a year, was in a wheelchair. And now I am recovered. And if I ever get a symptom, which I do occasionally, like a twitchy eyelid or a sore tummy, then I know I need to start listening to my body again and get back to full health
I have heard this so many times. If you recover from FM you never had it in the first place. Where does this certainty come from. The medical profession , in my experience, are clueless. I have FM and after a year or Mickel therapy I am almost recovered
Hahaha, i know! These ones really were though, and they used it in a horrible, mental way to judge other people. But they're just two random hippies living in a field. Not a representative of a whole religión :)

Totalllllly agree with the toxic “think positive” !!! 👏👏✊
I have heard several stories about how people overcame fibromyalgia. Everyone has something different that they did. A certain medicine, a certain exercise, and on and on. I wish something would be simple, but it seems to be an individual treatment that helps people. Hard part is finding your treatment.
Its usually unique to each person because its trauma related
Omg you are the first person and this really resonates with me!! Even the sofa and I actually was thinking there was something wrong with my sofia and my bed🤷♀️🤦♀️. I had endometriosis, and I need to get a new job. My worst fear is not being able to do the new job I get, whether it be I'm not smart enough or because I'm in so much pain I won't be able to work. I still dont understand how it works with pain from a broken arm persay, but thank you😊
Hello I have herbal medicine that will help you get rid of them naturally. Check my video for my information .
Thank you so much for sharing the hope incredibly helpful to listen to as I start mickel therapy also 🙏🏻
Thank you so much! Your video was exactly what i needed atm. Omg what an awsome ride. I hope you're doing great right now!
I'm glad it helped! Yeah, I'm doing pretty good thanks! I do have a twitchy eyelid again, I think from just having too much on my plate. But generally healthy and well 🙏😊I hope you are too :)
@@annaglowinski Dear Anna, I did some research after watching your video and found sth. similar to Mickel Therapy, it's called Reverse Therapy. After rewatchig your video today, I am pretty sure, that these are basically the same. Three months after my first comment I had a few sessions where I learned to be a better listener to my body and I started to make some progress very quickly. I can ride the bike again without any problems. I did so today for 2 hours. If you had asked me three months ago, I thought this would be absolutely impossible to do it ever again. I surely have some work to do, but there are so many things I couldn't do for years, and now I can enjoy them again. Fantastic! Thank you very much for your video, it helped me a lot! All the best!
Thanks for sharing your story Anna! ❤I’m exploring Mickel therapy for CFS
What an amazing story
Please tell more about your Way to recovery with the Mickel Therapy. It sounds like you’ve found the key to a super imunesystem…thanks
brilliant stuff, so happy for you and super useful info, thanks for sharing :)
Interesting, person-centred counselling can focus on physical sensations and feelings and lead to pain reduction. I'm a mental health support worker at the moment and encourage people to monitor how they're feeling mentally and physically and act based on that without guilt. This seems like a more focused explicit way to do the above.
Thank you for sharing! Very helpful
I still have no idea what Mickel therapy is and how it helps. But thank you very much for sharing your experience, I suffer FM symptoms since 2016. Wish you all the best.
Really? You didn´t understand? Um, let´s see if I can sum it up here. Everytime you get a symptom you make a note of it (either written or mentally). You check what you are doing and how you are feeling. You then change what you are doing and take an action to change how you are feeling. You see if the symptom has reduced. Repeat.
When you go into it with a therapist, its more detailed, more obvious and more personal to you. You learn to listen to your own body. They´re just hugely exaggerated emotions. Like, if a normal emotion is tense muscles because you are scared, FM muscles are siezed up. If a normal emotion is lethargy becuase you are bored, FM is extreme tiredness.
Hope that helps and hope you manage to get rid of it. I couldn´t have done it alone, because it wasn´t obvious to me without a therapist. You know the expression "can´t see the wood for the trees"? It was like that.
Best of luck x
@@annaglowinski Thanks for clarifying it Anna.
Thank you so much for this very helpful video. I have saved it to my faves 💓. This reminds me of DR John Sarno's TMS or mind body healing.
just wanted to see if you were ok ..im glad you are back on the bike ,i would die without riding my bike is my life stay strong
Thanks, yeah, I´m so happy to be better. Mostly I just don´t think about it. It was a terrible, terrible time in my life that I´ve moved on from. But I am grateful and so happy to be better :) Thanks for your comments and support!
amazing video - thank you so much - have you managed to stay well? from both the fibro and the endo?
Thanx for sharing, brilliant!
Hi Anna
Me and my grandson jaylen always watched mtb adventures from the first series, you were and still are a very good presenter,
With all the crap the bbc & itv put on our screens what it lacks is a good mtb series, like me and everyone probably was unaware of all the situations you've been through, but yet you still look happier than my x, Im lucky ive never been ill, but unfortunately ive been divorced 16 years after a 23 year marriage my dream was to move to Spain when im sixty of course with my x, we even bought an apartment, the reason im telling you this if I knew you were living in a field you could have stayed in it,
Im supposed to go out there tomorrow but not up to it,
I think you would make a great tour guide for tourist who are looking to go mountainbiking, seen many they Pay up front you then take them on 4-5 day trip? sure you can rent the mountainbikes,
Hey! I can't believe I missed this comment! How are you and Jayden?? :)
He’s all grown up he always out on his scooter at skate ball parks with his friends now? Seems a long time ago we made this video
ruclips.net/video/qWtNE1wKBXE/видео.htmlsi=6I1Ti6RR-HwoWH8x
Are you still in Spain? I was hoping to get a visa so I can moved to my home in Villamartin ? But bought a narrow boat to have fun on?
Miss your videos
Steve and Jaylen ❤️
Awesome video! 💗
Thank you for this, Anna! I may be in the same predicament as you soon. Not yet medically diagnosed.
Heya Czar, my recommendation? try a bit of Mickel therapy anyway, don´t wait for diagnosis because it takes ages, tehy daignose by ruling everything else out. It´s a horrible process of hospital appointments and worry and just not a lot of fun. Or at least, try and start to take note of yourself...what moments do you flare up? Are you feeling worried? Bored? Annoyed? and start noticing when you feel alright. What things in life might be really worrying you? These days, even when I get a common cold I try to give my body the best chance to fight it by making sure I´m emotionally at my best, which then makes my body stronger. Anyway, whatever you do, best of luck xx
Hysterectomy fix the pain, then by doing the opposite, you fixed the fibromyalgia. Without the hysterectomy, you would still have fibromyalgia. Doing the opposite can help some, it can also make it worse. Finding the injury or pain that has caused the fibromyalgia, can be very difficult. I'm glad you found a way out. Unfortunate for me, my fibro comes from atypical trigeminal neuralgia. Doing the opposite for me, would be no sound, no light, no chewing, no talking etc.
She didn't get a hysterectomy. her listening to her body method of getting rid of her fibromyalgia also got rid of her endometriosis pain
What helped me and many others was a vegan and high nutrition diet. I have lived with Fibromyalgia for decades. There might be various causes for people. Nothing worked for me except diet change. Dr Fuhrman’s high nutrition diet relieved symptoms after a few months on the diet. It is challenging to change your diet, but it works.
Hi Anna,
Congrats on your remarkable recovery.
Many thanks for your honest, courageous and engaging video.
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2020, although reflecting back it started several years before then. Over this time the symptoms have gotten aggressively worse and now experiencing intermittent intense pain in my right foot that seems to be getting worse. I have been having acupuncture treatment so not sure if the treatment is part of fibro or something else entirely until I have it examined.
I had felt for a long time it was my body sending me messages to regain more control over my health and well-being, as I have been also diagnosed with a frozen shoulder too and skin issues that I previously never suffered with, all getting progressively worse. I have not taken sufficient action on the work I know needs to be done. In this aspect, you have confirmed that I need to do the work and provided some helpful tools to possibly get it done, although it may not be the same for everyone. May well check out the therapist you used. I had about 8 sessions of acupuncture, and whilst very relaxing and helping to ease muscle tension, it has not been beneficial in treating the root of the problem, which is what has happened to me and my ability to meaningfully process it, take action, and move on from it. My fibromyalgia pain is quite overwhelming, equally on an emotional level too. Seeing my body becoming so stiff and so restricted in movement. I have faith in God, who I believe led me to your video despite your own beliefs in this area. : ) With heartfelt gratitude. . I look forward to posting mine here too as a thank you to you and to inspire others too. : )
How are you doing now? Better i hope x
Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your recovery! Do you know if Gill offers her services virtually?
I'm not entirely sure. Give her a shout. There was another guy who I spoke to a couple of times intuitivehealth.co.uk/ or try a Google search for Mickel Therapist x
Fibromyalgia and all associated symptoms are an indication of muscle damage.
This might help some, but you cant think your way out of that.
Really fascinating and interesting. I want to try this therapy. Any way to do this on line?
Thank you, u r one person who gets it. U did not dwell enough on what nickel therapy is. The joint pain fatigue, inflammation, brain fog, everything hurts! This does give some hope. Can I ask you if ur broke can you ask the queen for some change? Isn't she worth $88 billion? 🤣😂🤞🙏 The advice was good though ❤️. 💞🧐
Know anyone else doing this therapy? I just messaged your guy and he isn't working at the moment, apparently.
Hiya, i'm sorry to hear that. I'd suggest Google searching "mickel therapy therapist" or something. Or looking for anyone that understands the emotional and physical body connection. Good luck!! X
I’ve just been diagnosed Fibromyalgia and my thoughts are “I’m getting over this”.
I do notice it gets worse when I wake and strangely sitting on the sofa in the evenings just like you mentioned.
Did you change your diet?
Thanks for the video. Cheered me up.
I have been changed my diet for 12 days now and taking vitamins and will see what happens! No gluten no any of animal products no caffeine no sugar
@@alimosa7686 can i talk to you brother?
It's been over two years for me now. It's hard to keep going, but I know I will get over this.
And that's all it will do-cheer you up.
This woman thinks the sofa is relevant.
It's your body's position when you're sitting that's the problem, not the sofa!
Hi glowinski I'm suffering from fibro and IBS from 1 year. Could you please elaborate what all things does mickel therapy??? I badly want to get out of this living hell. You are a hope to me pls revert.
Hello, I am so sorry to hear that. You are right, it is hell!!
I'm not sure how much more I can elaborate? I tried my best in this video to explain. Try reading some comments below. The best thing you can do is speak to an expert. My lady will gill @ gillgoughtherapy.co.uk
Best of luck. You can get better I promise!! Xx
Good work Anna. Dr Rangan Chatterjee briefly talks in his podcast with mind coach Peter Crone on similar matters. Have a listen. 💪❤️👍
Thank you :) It might sound wierd, but now I have my health back I kind of try to avoid spending too much time in the world of health. I´m just so grateful to ahve my life back, I´ve worked out what works for me and just trying to enjoy living. I felt I had to share this video for other sufferers out there, but I´m kinda put off from lingering in this area. Hopefully other people who see your comment and are looking to inform themselves more can make use out of it as I just really hope more people recover. Nobody deserves to be so ill x
Hi are you still there . I'm thankful for your video and I want to try. Tbh I am or was a very positive person and iv had enough now. I haven't killed myself for religious reasons but that's it. I really want to get better . I need your help . I can pay I just need please to be ok again . Constant pain . And it's been 3 years now thanks
Hi Patrick. Oh dear, you poor thing!!! I've been there, I was pretty suicidal too. I'm reading a book at the moment called 'When your body says no' by Gabor Mate that you might find useful. But your best thing is to get in touch with a therapist of this kind. I've spoken to Gill at gillgoughtherapy.co.uk and Saul at intuitivelhealth.com
Great video Anna. I’m coming up on 3 years of a CFS diagnosis with no major improvement so this could be the next thing to try. 🙂🙏🏻
Best of luck! I'm super confident in it. Give it your best shot and whatever you try, just keep on trying. Life with CFS sucks and there is totally a way out xx
Thanks so much for this video. Very helpful. 💗
Does a Mickel therapist help to brainstorm solutions when times are tough? And would you say that Mickel therapy is almost the opposite of brain retraining courses such as ans rewire that you mentioned?
Yeah, they definitely did help brainstorm. That was my main problem really, I was unable to identify the things that were bothering me. Some of the solutions were for "next time". Like I remember one time getting really stressed because I went to rent a car and they only accepted credit card, which I didn't have. And the therapist told me to read the small print next time. Hahaha.
@@annaglowinski wonderful, thank you so much for your reply. 💜
Thank you Anna!! I think I’m going to brave the transition from psycho therapy to Mikel therapy after listening to this... so many synchronicities as I watch you too.. haha cus I’m British and live in Spain and my ex is a BMXer haha. I feel like I’m meant to follow this, xo
Hi Carly, I just wondered how you are getting on? I never saw your comment the first time around, sorry. Pretty funny about your ex being a bmxer! Hope you're doing well. Anna x
@@annaglowinski hey Anna! I haven't made the change yet... But I'm thinking about it a lot. Like I've only just checked my notifications on here right now 7 months later and I'm in bed having a bit of a melt down lol just another sign!! My therapist says he's somatic etc etc.. but I just speak to him as a counsellor more or less now.. Im just so confused!! Xo
Any help from Dr Clair weeks books
Did you have it in every muscle.ive got it constant in shoulders intermittent in feet pelvic pain stiff knee when twisted it 8 months ago any up down fatigue
You have done any physical therapy in fibromyalgia... please suggest going through it .. from India
How are you doing now? My friend has fibromialgia and shes really suffering right now. Should I send her this video or is that overstepping my bounds as a friend?
Wow, good question. I would get pissed off when i was ill with people saying "have you tried ... XYZ" and i was thinking "i've tried EVERYTHING!!!" . But at the same time, it was someone contacting me on Instagram that gave me my solution. So, i would say that as a friend it would be a shame not to give her new options and ideas but maybe approach it gently, like, just that you're thinking of her and not that you're trying to tell her what to do. You sound like a lovely friend for being so considerate, so i'm sure she'd know you're intentions are from a good place xx
Ps. I'm still fine. I still get my moments of warning from my body and have to remember what I've learnt and go back to basics e.g. this summer i had a few days of insomnia because i got so wired from doing child care and trying to please everyone else around me too. It meant some uncomfortable conversations and saying no to people who've not really known me to say no before but I muddled through and got my sleep pattern back :)
Oh last sign, jajaja, you posted this on my mums birthday hahahahaha
I would like to know why people suffer way worse stress than you went through and dont get cfs?
Because it's not about the stress. It's about how you deal with it. I dealt with it wrong, slapped a smile on and pretended I was fine. So that meant my body started screaming at me. It's never a good idea to suppress tears or frustration or to ignore worry, but that's what I did wrong
@@annaglowinski my aunt doesn't address emotions. She has strong ability to brush everything under the carpet. She shows no emotions at all despite suffering. Is that the same as what your saying?
@@Star5dg possibly! I'm no expert and can't speak for every individual, I can only speak for what worked for me and how I understand it. For me, I understand it like, our emotions are all experienced physically (e.g. sweaty palms when scared, butterflies in tummy when worried, water coming out of our eyes when sad) and that exists as a way to alert us that something is wrong. If you ignore those feelings, like I did by keeping busy doing sport, they just get stronger in time because you're not doing anything about it. They know now that IBS is also caused by the same type of thing - anxiety and people not knowing how to confront their worries. I hope your aunt finds ways to deal with her troubles in a healthy way for her 🤞🌺
Had you taken broad spectrum antibiotics in the past ?
Yes I did .. why do you ask ? Were you floxed ?
so true i feel you so much, its been 3 fucking years need to find a solution (going through ketu dasha)!
I apologize to ask this but what is the therapy call? I'm having a hard time with this disease and need help. Thank you!
Hey Paulo, it's called Mickel Therapy. Best of luck ❤️
Are you doing better since this video ?
Yeah, I´m really good thanks for asking :)
hi mam. I am from India. I. have fibromyalgia. .. how r u mam now?
Hi, i'm so sorry to hear you're suffering with fibromialgia. And sorry for not replying sooner. I'm fine now. Sometimes I have moments of insomnia (for a few days this summer when i was too busy looking after everyone else) or tinnitus (when my body tells me i need to chill out). But they're warning signs to remind me to look after myself again and Say "no" to things
hi mam still u have fibromyalgia symptoms?
plz reply
Did you get out of breath when you tried to walk?
No, but everyone experiences different symptoms x
We can manage FM/ME for sure. Hydrotherapy & yoga definitely in my daily routine. However FM is not something you can cure or recover from. You can be 2 on the scale rather than 10. But not being able to fall asleep or pain will never go away completely. If that is the case , you never had FM to begin with
That's just not true. I had it for a year, was in a wheelchair. And now I am recovered. And if I ever get a symptom, which I do occasionally, like a twitchy eyelid or a sore tummy, then I know I need to start listening to my body again and get back to full health
TMS healing it's great news fybromyalgia do hsrd
I have heard this so many times.
If you recover from FM you never had it in the first place.
Where does this certainty come from.
The medical profession , in my experience, are clueless.
I have FM and after a year or Mickel therapy I am almost recovered
I find a high raw vegan autoimmune elimination diet works best from a physical point of view.

What is she number
Fuck me! Your story. My story. I would love to talk to you x
Tms be Dr Sarno to
You think being in debt is more positive than living in the woods with Christians 🤣
By the way.....not all Christians are nutters!!!!
Hahaha, i know! These ones really were though, and they used it in a horrible, mental way to judge other people. But they're just two random hippies living in a field. Not a representative of a whole religión :)
