You say at the end you aren’t a doctor.. but let me tell you… you know more about this than the 25 doctors I’ve seen over the last 18 months!
Lol, thanks!
It's because I went through hell and back with CFS so I had to master everything to get me to recovery - I HAD to!
We all have to. 😢
@@g.m.4824so what this man Is saying thinking positive and don't let anxiety spiral you, will make your symptoms go away??? Sounds farfetched that being bedridden and thinking positive will get you better..
Cfs is just like being fat and going to the doctors and asking them what’s wrong, and them saying we don’t know you’re fat and there is no cure lol
That's because they don't teach brain retraining or nervous system regulation tools in medical school.
“There is a space between stimulus and response. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” Victor Frankl
I’ve realized a lot of my fatigue is just emotional shutting down. That’s a crux point I can work on to reprogram my thoughts. I’ve been so overwhelmed for so long that it’s all I know how to do. I just retired and my family stress evaporated at the same time due to a death, so I have all the time in the world to recover.
People don't realize how much stress emotions place on the nervous system. Typically emotions place even more stress than just cognitive and physical functioning, so I'm not surprised that the emotions can cause your systems to flare up like crazy!
In someone with a hyper-sensitive nervous system, these symptoms can be more pronounced and more easily triggered. This can lead to a cycle where emotional distress leads to worsening neurological symptoms, which can in turn lead to further emotional distress.
This makes so much sense. This is the reason why ( when this is happening in the nervous system) it's uncomfortable and exhausting to engage with people, it's overstimulating to the nervous system. Thank you for this, appreciate your research very much.
You’re very welcome 😊
Hi. In July of 2021 I went though a severe emotional trauma. The next day I woke w tingling all over, fastest heart rate that wouldnt slow, I would feel super cold and drained. Did yoga for a week and it went away. Dr said blood was good. Wierd little thing I thought. In Sept 21 I got my c19 shot and all these symptoms came back with worse ones! Got covid 2x a month later and I do not know how I survived through it, truly don't. Took me two years to realize it's my nervous system. I've probably had a janky nervous system for life, but these events triggered it to max. Thanks again Miguel. Started doing yoga and breath work and still trying to figure out brain retraining.
Please research and don't get any more shots. They're all neurotoxic - every single vax. They're not safe (or effective) for anyone. It's sad to watch people get these injections because of pharmaceutical industry propaganda. Natural immunity is the only safe and effective immunity.
I'm so sorry for the experience you went through - sometimes it can be really scary!
Glad you are now getting better and more stable with yoga - it helps with relaxing both the mind and the body.
You got this 💯
How do you know if you have cfs
I'm struggling with my symptoms today even though I've started a brain rewiring program, and I'm aware of what to do/not to do. It's hard work. Determination is the key. Thank you for the reminder! 🙏
Yes, you're absolutely right. You can do this! 🙌💪
May I ask you what brain training program you started?
@ginamartinez3954 ANS rewire. It's actually not just brain training, but rather a multilateral approach to CFS, Fibromyalgia and other related conditions.
Yes, I know Anis is a program that my friend 100% recovered from and I don’t remember what I was replying to but I wish I can afford it because some days I feel desperate with the fatigue and tiredness. I just can’t take it anymore it’s very frustrating.
I’m sorry I know the ANS rewire is something my friend Alexander and a lot of people recovered from and if I had the money I would take the course but unfortunately I’m struggling right now and like I said the fatigue and sleeping 12 hours is just getting to me
Great video, Miguel. To my knowledge, we are the only animal who can cause 'disease' through our thoughts. It makes sense that this should be where the healing starts.
100% Scott
Glad you realize that
Humans are not animals. We are made in the image of God, fearfully and wonderfully made by our Creator. 🙏
I have watched hunderds of videos leaving them with little to no take aways and im honestly very very greatful for your vids that are so so helpful and also because 1. the clarity of your videos and the ability to make even ah child understand is amazing 2. Your explaining things to people who are sick frustated and (fundexhasted or as we would say..(broke)..) that others charge alot of money for which shows that u genuinley care for us sufferers...so if u have a program that costs some money .... thats ok thats great.... screw what others think... because i mean... look at how much your putting out for free giving newness and hope to the ones who have been searching for answers for 10 maybe 20+ years.. and dats really something...thank u men.. really.. im suffering too... almost 2 years and sum tells me when i watch your videos that i wont be looking at 5 and 6 years of suffering... my biggest hope is in God and ive been praying and fasting... this may be my answered prayer... and for those who just want to get better without ah fight... your gonna be stuck wanting to get better if u dont push through the thick dark cloud where there is brightness on the other side of the false world u now live in...come on guys .... we have to push and keep up... stop putting the impossibilites of recovering in your mind and set it no matter how u feel on getting better only!! Or enjoy your life with your brain stuck in a Fog and everything looks like your in a false reality and pain etc etc and tell urself one day... Its ither one day or day 1!! Your brain learnt how to protect u automatically through your busy jacked up life of stimuli and probably childhood trauma etc... well now its time for u to take back what your mind took from u.... is the higher part of your mind going to crontrol u? Come on guys! Or are u going to take control of your own mind and reclaim your life regardless of symptoms!! Lets gooo ... watch the more impt vids... put it into ur daily life.. and stop trying to figure all the stuff u have to do to recover because youll be taxing your nervous system and thats the last thing u wanna do... no need to be jacked up about all the books u gotta read and this method and that method and all the holibooloo... take it slow and simple 🙏
You’re very welcome 😊
Great video and really helpful !
Im currently struggling a lot and going through a severe burnout and probably CFS.
When the symptoms pop-up like heart palpations my experience for now is That it just helps to observe the sensations and not push through until the nervous system calms down.
Also helped a lot with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to restructure, change and challenge old and negative beliefs systems.
Thank you! I'm glad the video resonated and helped ❤️
ACTIVATION ENERGY!💡💡💡 This made SO much since to me considering i did very lengthy brain retraining for over two years🤯
What kind of brain retraining did you do?
@@B3l0v3d05 DNRS and Gupta programs. Now doing CFS Recovery with Miguel tho. Better fit for me at this point in my recovery
@@rachelolson oh! So you are saying the Gupta and DNRS required too much activation energy?
@@B3l0v3d05 i think for me, yes
Why did you do both DNRS AND GUPTA?
Really, really excellent video. I went through the Lightning Process course several years ago after battling with CFS for a number of years. As you say, perseverance is critical. I continue to use the techniques to this day (although with your video I'm hoping I won't have to quite as often!). The LP places a strong emphasis on 'Knowledge drives recovery' and videos like this really help. I love your 'It's just the nervous system' reminder and your sympathetic/parasympathetic illustration. It really simplifies what's going on. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It's wonderful to hear that you found value in the video and that you've been using techniques like the Lightning Process to manage and improve your CFS symptoms. Knowledge is indeed a powerful tool in the recovery process, and simplifying complex concepts can make them more accessible and actionable.
I'm here to provide support and information, and I'm delighted to hear that my video has been helpful to you. Keep up the great work, and I wish you continued success on your journey toward better health! 🌟🙏
I'm just beginning this journey of recovery. This is very helpful. Thank you!
Most welcome!
Hi Miguel, I came across your videos and I am so thankful. I suffer from hypothyroidism and visual snow, floaters and light sensitivity. After watching a few videos I feel like I have found the root to my problems ! I will start to apply CFS recovery.
Awesome 🙌
I'm not concentrating on pain or any negative emotions. I just have crippling fatigue & I have no idea why? I don't have much pain, just fatigue & depression.
Usually, fatigue is the among the very last symptom to go. Depression too, as CFS honestly mixes up all your emotions so that too. You are not far off from recovery! Wishing you the best.
@@cfsrecoveryin CFS usually all that CFS stands for is the last way to go, time to have a significant nonimportant superficial thought change and keep will/energy/drive(Life) at bay zero. If one realizes and start thinking that he's at zero, time to Retrain mind to keep being at zero, but think about flowers. so he's not at zero anymore. in his mind,which has almost nothing to do with his life
Sometimes the main thing that one can conclude is that REBT is a disease.
-not okay?think that youre okay! and youll still be not okay. because it's never about mind,thought,cortex,consciousness,free will. it never was. that's just a garden, things are deeper than rebt&albert elis could imagine
Oh my gosh ‼️‼️‼️‼️ your analogy’s help me soooooo much ‼️ I’m such a visual learner ‼️‼️‼️ love love loved this ‼️ def going to look into your program ! 30 years of this survival mode has been hell ! Thank you 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Awesome 🙌
A huge and genuine you for this video. My mindset has taken a shift for the worst and I know it….even though I try to resist it….im just plain TIRED, burnt out, burning the candle at every end….& I sometimes forget I DO have control of my mind and it is and will always be my greatest tool to make a change in life. I’m stuck in the nonstop supplement hamster wheel right now and know my mindset is where I need to be placing more focus. Thank you so much. It’s a lot easier to take this advice from someone who’s truly been through it. Thank you 🙏
Glad it was helpful 😊
Thanks Miguel. ❤ Another great explanation. Yes our response to the symptoms is the most crucial part.
But I feel it's not only the cognitive aspect of brain retraining. Taking the foot from the gaspedal (to use one of your analogies😉) in an adjustment period is just as important than retraining your brain with consistent messages of safety. In adjustment period a lot of additional stimulus or trying to achieve the same level of load than before adds equally fuel to the fire than mentally or emotionally worrying/fearing/catastrophizing or the what if's about the symptoms..
So being flexible and gentle to ourselves is a big part too..
Keep up your great work. Always inspiring and helpful. 🙏
You're absolutely right - both aspects are equally important and some parts work better for different people, or complement each other - for example, the adjustment period + flare ups can be smoother and easier with proper brain retraining.
You're most welcome!
@@cfsrecovery Thanks for your reply Miguel.👊
I love this!! Thank you for explaining this so simply! I also love the simple phrase you use to switch pathways, "Oh. It's just my nervous system."
You're so welcome! Glad it was helpful 😊
This is an excellently explained video. It’s good to hear it from the account of someone who used to have CFS too so it proves it helps. I’ve had long covid since October 2021 and I know for fact I respond terribly to stimulus and stress which is clearly reinforcing the physical symptoms. Going to work hard on this brain retraining idea now. Thanks for this.
Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you found the video helpful. It's reassuring to hear from someone who has experienced long COVID and can relate to the challenges of stimulus and stress.
Brain retraining can be a powerful tool in managing symptoms and improving overall well-being. By shifting your mindset and focusing on positive thoughts, you can help rewire your brain's response to stress and stimuli.
Remember to be patient with yourself and take small steps towards your goals. Consistency and perseverance are key. If you need further guidance, don't hesitate to reach out to us through our thrivers group facebook.com/groups/586782782687101

Dude I'm having symptoms past 3 weeks from being sensitive to sounds and light to back pain and spinal pain which I was using medications for
I'm not even sure wtf am I suffering but I'm so happy to see someone recovered
Please check this link. I hope it helps!

Wish they would teach this to physical therapists. Tried describing my pain to them as I was starting and I said I don’t want to stop and rate my pain cause it causes the pain to climb…they, including my husband said it doesn’t work that way, I said it does when you’ve already learned how to tune out the smaller pains or raising pain until it gets so bad you can’t cause you really do have other issues like contact with the spine in your neck.
It can be challenging when others may not fully understand the intricacies of pain perception. 🤝💙 Trusting your own experience and advocating for your needs is crucial. Keep expressing your perspective, and I hope you find supportive professionals on your journey to well-being! We're always here to help! 🌟😊
Thank you so much! I have cfs but this seems like it would work great for people with anxiety and panic disorder as well
Yes, it absolutely would! Feel free to share with anyone you know experiencing anxiety and panic attacks!
I have ME/CFS (and fibromyalgia) but I have just never been an anxious person. I don’t do the “what if’s” or have fear around it. I started getting occasional pain when I was 11. We just thought it was growing pains and I didn’t take it serious at all. Over time it got chronic yet I just never really saw it as something hindering or terrible. It was just a fact of life. I am in bed 22 hours a day, and have been for the last 8 years, but I just can’t recognize the thought pattern you describe. My ME doctor had a medical student with her the other day that had ME herself and she recommended a brain retraining course because it really helped her so I am trying to learn if it would make sense for me. I had hoped there was more to it than this as I don’t doubt my nervous system could benefit from true rest like with meditation and mindfulness.
I understand that. It's important to note that the thought patterns and fear-based responses described in the video may not resonate with everyone's experience. Brain retraining courses can be beneficial for some individuals with ME/CFS, as they can help promote a more balanced nervous system and improve overall well-being. However, it's also important to consider other approaches such as meditation, mindfulness, and true rest, as you mentioned. Each person's journey is truly unique, so finding what works best for you and listening to your body is key. It may be helpful to consult with your ME doctor or a healthcare professional who specializes in ME/CFS to discuss your specific situation and explore the potential benefits of different approaches. Our approach on CFS Recovery Jumpstart Program involves understanding where you are at medically, so we can create a personalized approach for you to get where you ought to be. You can check it out here www.cfsrecovery.co/apply
@@cfsrecovery thank you so much for your detailed reply. I will definitely bring it up with my ME doctor next time and keep an open mind.
Thank you for giving me hope 🙏
Always! ❤️
Very nice video. Brain training is explained in such a simple way. Amazing, Miguel, you are not only helping people but giving them hope of recovery. Thanks
I appreciate that! ❤️
Fenomenal explanation, thank you very much.
1.5 year of lost time in CFS clinic, they are useless there.
You're welcome! I'm glad you found the explanation helpful. Sometimes, finding the right approach and understanding can make all the difference in managing conditions like CFS. 🌟💪
Thank you. On this path of recovery and not so desperate as I am able to learn more.
You're welcome! I'm glad to hear that you're on the path of recovery and feeling less desperate. Learning more about your condition and different strategies are empowering and help you make progress. Keep up the positive mindset and continue seeking knowledge and support. You're doing great!
Thank you for this clear explanation!
Glad it was helpful! 😊
You are my hero. Thank you for saving my life.
Always glad to help! 🙌😊
Where the mind goes, the body will follow.
Well said 😊
Helps to
understand what’s going on in the mind. Very helpful, thank you!
I'm so glad it was helpful. You're very welcome! 🤗
Well done. I finally believed this. Key to being able to do it and get better. Believe it.
Well said 😊
I just realised I did not mention in my previous comment, that most of the time these sensations take much of my focus. Thank you again!
You're so welcome!
I don't understand from all his videos how he got better. Just thinking positive and keeping anxiety down???? Sounds crazy cuz nothing has worked for me. I see stars, muscle twitches, tremors and now pressure in my brain when I move my eyes... Mris and blood work normal.. I keep getting worse.
So just thinking positive and calming anxiety makes all these sumpo go away????
Did you watch the video?
@cfsrecovery i dont think he did😅😅ppl who watch your vids and put these hard pratices to use for months usually see results... its not really a technique or one size fits all....the healing path for CFS is principal.. its ah blueprint and garanteed results once followed correctly... although each person's recovery time differs...
One of the best videos on recovery
Thank you so much! 😊❤️
Thank you for sharing the nuts and bolts of the brain retraining process! I think I am suffering from dysautonomia due to my 2nd round with Covid 6 weeks before these symptoms hit me.
You’re very welcome 😊
Thank for your video, for explainning so well. But something sounds a bit wrong for me. If someone extrapolate the video, s.he could resumate by ''do (more) things and don't think too much about it''. I will try to explain why that bother me a little.
I perfectly get that if you over reacting to your symptom, you nervous system is getting worse than it would be normally. In that case, you might get sicker and sicker.
But that does not mean that if you don't react to symptoms, you are getting better... You just don't agravate more than the stimulus would have by its own.
It is normal that a stimulus triggers the nervous system for everybody, that is how human get the ability to react to the environment (from running out of a fire, to say hello to your friends).
What make you sick (in one hypotesis of what make tou sik in ME/CFS) would be that whether the nervous system is too activate, whether the body can NOT recover (due to the sickness, might be because you are out off your adaptative range). Or both.
So, responsing bad to the stimulus and symptoms might agravate your health, so this video make plenty of sens in this case. But since there is a stimulus, there will be a respond (of your nevous system and body).
So even if your mind respond well, if you are out of your adaptative range, you body can't manage or rest properly. That is the proper of having ME/CFS, that is why you're sick.
So, for me, this would mean that in order to getting better, I get that you have to stimulate yourself (that is the mecanism that allow you to grow), IN YOUR ADAPTATIVE RANGE (which is so little for severe ME/CFS). So that means that you would rather not ''force'' yourself to do things that trigger to many symptoms or things that are too hard to recover for you.
Maybe i get it wrong, I am french so maybe there is something i didn't understand in the video, if it's the case I am sorry !
Summary: "In order to get better you have to stimulate yourself"
Which comes back to ..-You have no energy? -Have energy!
You have no wellbeing?? -Have wellbeing!! How? Just choose to have it.. in the same way you chose to have 0 energy this morning, in the same way you chose to have 0will/drive/motivation/pleasure. Next time when you choose tragedy life remember to CoNsciOusLy rechoose it to normal life.
Cognitive therapy resummary: Thoughts are just a consequence, last step in a chain of low life, you have low life,energy,motivation,being and then you have thoughts/consciousness about it.
If you want change do anything but don't waste time trying to deal with random useless thoughts, otherwise REBT is a disease
Thank you for your wonderful videos. I feel much better just watching this video than visiting doctors and all the damn tests and medications I have taken
I'm glad they help. You're so welcome!
Thank you so much Miguel.
I’ve been doing this but have more clarity now. You’re a star !! 😊😊
Wonderful! Always happy to help 😊
I have to say this is the best explanation I encountered so far. Previously I looked at information but somewhat did not feel inspired until I tried. I was able to calm down my nervous system many times a day that saved me a lot of energy for later use and sleep better. The key point is simplicity. If I am asked to follow some complicated method involving a lot of reading, paying for sessions or courses, lots of analyzing and writing while being affected by Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, no, that would be too taxing on already exhausted body system. There are a few tools I was able to pick up from RUclips. Thanks
I'm glad to hear that you found the explanation helpful and that you've been able to apply simple techniques to calm your nervous system and improve your sleep. It's essential to find approaches that are accessible and manageable for you, considering the challenges of CFS. RUclips can be a valuable resource for learning and discovering tools that work for you. Prioritizing simplicity and adaptability in your healing journey allows you to conserve energy and focus on what brings you relief. Best wishes!
Thank you so much! This ist great and such a help!
Glad it was helpful!
can someone give me a short tldr of what brain retraining is? every video i check is way too long for me to watch
Here it is: ruclips.net/video/_jOYvPkyE_o/видео.htmlsi=6Im3PwO6yKy2Bm0Q
Yes emotional stimulus, through trauma.
Thank you for sharing! 😊
Thank you so much for your videos. They give me hope 💛
You're most welcome!
Vipasanna meditaion really helped me! This is pretty similar.
Good for you 😁
I doubt you’ll see this comment among all the others.
I’ve finally realized I needed to listen to my doctor and take the time off and try to recover. I’ve had to finally quit my job to do so.
I’m looking at your videos and I’m very intrigued. I definitely can benefit. But the brain retraining is tough as I also have adhd, and meditation is really hard as my brain is nearly always “on”.
That is really the only thing I can see really hampering me from following along with your advice. Any tips for getting past that, from clients you’ve helped?
I've got lots of them! For now, please check this link. I hope it helps! ruclips.net/video/L22kYbyT-Tw/видео.htmlsi=Qr6lhN5hUsj378xr
Hi all! I had a cartilage transplantation earlier this year and everything went great. At some point I was moving a heavy couch and forgot for a little moment that I was still in recovery. The result is arthritis in my knee and recovery failure. Since then I have increased levels of fatigue, I go to bed at 10pm and I’m unable to wake up, get motivated for stuff, I even cancel social events and I look horrendous with bags under my eyes. My mental health hasn’t been very well due to addiction and a personality disorder. I really hope this can help me because I just want my energy back and be happy :(
It absolutely WILL help you if you are patient and consistend with brain retraining :)
I have to see if we can even help you first. I always recommend going through the questionnaire and if you qualify, booking a strategy call to see if you're a good fit for the program! www.cfsrecovery.co/apply
You're right! 👍 Thank you!
Thank you so much! Needed to hear this explanation!!

Glad it was helpful! You got this
Very good explained, Miguel!
Most welcome Peter!
This is exactly what I need, thank you.
Happy to help! 😊
nicely explained and a timely reminder, thanks :D
i've started getting these weird 'pings' in my brain when i move my eyes last several weeks. Ive this week learnt it is most likely from weaning off of citalopram, but the concern has still been there that it may not be lols :DDD gunna nip this in the bud :D
You're welcome Kim!
Yes sometimes it takes a while to feel any better when getting off some drugs - you will eventually get there!
Thank you
You're most welcome ❤️
More brilliance from Miguel -- thank you!
You're very welcome. Thank you too! 😊❤️
❤❤ thanks 4 sharing Miguel
Always glad to help! 🙌😊
Would you consider doing a video about fatigue? It's a little tricky to know when to rest and when to train. Like should you wait for fatigue to literally bring you to bed before you give in?
Please watch this and hopefully, it helps: ruclips.net/video/k_mljnKn8O4/видео.htmlsi=qJRMGLtcgwZMrm58

🇬🇧Hi great video Miguel thank you, no o e here mentioned pain i have disturbed sleep most night's with leg pain i have even told myself is my nervous System out of wack i tend to listen to hypnotherapy when disturbed, i feel im getting nowhere because this pain at night and disturbed sleep leaving me drained 🦋💜
Great video, but try to get a better mic. The sound is very low. Thanks for your content ❤
Thank you for your suggestion. 🙂❤️
hey miguel,thanks a lot for sharing and explaining . I just wanted to know how many times a day n how long for each round is to get best results? thanks u my friend
I am watching to try to help a friend who’s going through basically what you did -extreme physical debilitation, hospital, etc with no diagnosis. Her natural healing doctors have told her she needs to realign her brain and that she may have chronic fatigue syndrome.
My question is, at the point of your diagram where the black is,then over to the fork in the diagram,where the choice is made, does choosing the right blue choice release any type of chemical that helps to retrain the thought for next time ? I hope my question makes sense?
You're such a sweet and nice friend! 🤗 Long story short, initially no, there is no chemical release. Once results start coming though, there is a slight dopamine release as you get rewarded for responding well to symptoms.
For me personally calming my nervous system was a lot about what I was telling myself.
I realised pain signals or different symptoms were my body trying to keep me safe ,
So I might say thanks body I understand what you’re doing but I
am ok !
I’m safe
I realised that my body wasn’t broken it just was sending me signals that I didn’t need .
I ignore symptoms, I don’t talk about symptoms negatively,
I talk in terms of what my day looks like or what I feel like doing.
It’s especially important for those around me to not ask about pain specifically because that’s not where I want my attention.
At first I used distractions to redirect my focus ,
As time goes on I have to do that less and less .
I notice what is happening but don’t chase anything down the rabbit whole of worrying.
You know I like that the autonomic nervous system is over reacting to a stimulus.
What category of people need to use stems to self regulate? Autism.
Yet typically one of the first behavior modification therapies out there is to stop the autistic person from stimming to self regulate their dysregulated Autonomic Nervous System.
People can’t seem to wrap her brain around the concept that a different neurological development… which is what autism is in my option… is developmental from a nervous system that is over reacting to typical stimuli… and developing sensory sensitivity while not able to develop say potentially socially or in a learning environment because their autonomic nervous system is overstimulated due to pain… real physical pain… and sensory overwhelm.
From my observation, the only difference is the autistic person walked in early to this world of dis regulated nervous system, but those who encountered it later or through some event that kicked this dynamic off it’s called things like ME/CFS POTS… etc.
The only difference was the stage of life that it occurred potentially in the womb or potentially out of the womb yet shortly thereafter, potentially an early development.
Think about trying to be a very small infant / child with brain fog and fatigue and pain and sensory overwhelm trying to develop and their brain is wiring “differently” due to this stimulus overwhelm… autism.
Yes the key is calming the autonomic nervous system… anything you can do to make the system feel “safe” and then once it is registering “safe” build from there rebuild the neurology.
In early childhood development there are natural pruning of neurons and pathways so sometimes they can hit one of those natural pruning stages and the symptoms and symptomology the over sensitivity to all things environmental adverse stimuli goes away prunes away in the brain.
But that is only if the child has gotten to a state where they have calmed them self and feel safe and the brain feel safe to let it prune away at those naturally occurring developmental stages, if not it persists.
This is why you’ll have people out there that say they did a certain therapy or change diet etc. and the autism was cured that’s what you’re looking at somehow someway things in the environment or coming into the body a state of being was made better by a therapy or a diet and the body and brain was able to recover itself.
That’s my theory that’s my opinion
If there is a genetic disorder such as connective tissue disorder such as Ehlers-Danlos that is keeping the autonomic nervous system and that sympathetic state or a spine injury with cranial instability then you can have a structural trigger and it’s gonna be much more difficult to do a conscious override tonight and I’m at nervous system that’s been triggered by something structural and then bring your training is going to be helpful but not your cure all. It can help. It can be a “stim” tool.
From a fellow sufferer of hEDS who is most probably also on the spectrum, this is a brilliant post. The first memory I have of feeling this way is 3 years old. I'm now 73 and still use the same stimming techniques as when I was 3.
Thank you for sharing! 😊
Hey, Miguel! I was wondering about your opinion on this.. since cfs is a neurological condition to what extent taking anti anxiety medications helped in your recovery?
Great question! I’m curious as well…
@@lauriemtz8616I have recovered to the point where I can do anything I like as long as I factor in rest and recovery afterwards and don't push my heart rate up. Before, I was often bed or housebound.
I didn't use any supplements or prescription medications at all in my recovery and/or treatment. It was entirely down to meticulous pacing and keeping my efforts low, plus removing as much stress from my life as possible until I got to a point where I could handle some again.
I'll still relapse a bit every now and then and suffer symptoms, but I can recover in a day or two, rather than months and months.
Hope this helps!
Do you think that in addition to interrupting thoughts, it’s also necessary to set aside time to do brain retraining and visualizing in order to recover?
💯 brain retraining is very KEY in recovery!
Do you work with people who have Lyme disease and/or depersonalization? I have a bunch of symptoms and wondering if I could benefit from the program.
I understand you have a group membership where you can get support from others.. Can you provide a link for that?
For sure! Here's more info on that - www.cfsrecovery.co/recovery-academy
Thank you❤
You're so welcome
What if the worst symptom is restless legs and exactly when you are in that sweet spot of falling sleep? What can be done?

Brilliant Miguel, one question please. Will this work on symptoms of 24/7 vibration throughout the body and head and feeling heartbeat constantly. Would you need to do this all day long? Or perhaps, you still need to apply baby steps at first and build up gradually with these ever present symptoms? Love Love everything you and your team do, thank you.
A lot of the symptoms you don't need to do anything, you just need to leave them be and they go away on their own!
Have a look at these videos to get a better understanding of what's going on and how the body is trying to recalibrate itself.

I started DNRS but my nervous system seems to get more triggered and hyped up with the lengthy visualizations even when I enjoy them. It seems counterproductive almost like I’m trying to calm down my brain, but I’m putting more stimulus on it. It definitely works for some though! Do you think that’s counterproductive?
I was very into changing my wiring and my symptoms got worse until I stopped and realized I need more grounding and less mind work. I started taking a course from Irene Lyon and that feels like the right path for me. I think it depends what’s truly the root of each individuals cuz and how they’re doing now. I knew I don’t have any major anxiety just daily typical stress and I’m into self healing for long time but nothing worked till I started doing grounding stuff very often and being in nature and doing less.
I’m not saying dnrs doesn’t work, I do belive it does but it’s mind and body work together. And I kind of did too much mind work and not enough body work and somatic work. I physically became very intune with my bodies sensations . Which I previously kind of neglected. So I’d say please trust ur gut, you know ur body the best. And watch what brings u real results. This video can make ppl ignore their intuition and our world badly needs more intuition. Maybe for him it was stress and fear. For me it wasn’t , I was not scared to feel my heart race or anxiety and I continued going and that caused me to crash. I ignored the signals . And being sensitive in general is a good thing. Since I got intune I know I need to move away from city etc
@@rivkyw.9753 which Irene Lyon course did you do? thanks
Guys yoga nidra is way better for this!
21day nervous system course.
Is health anxiety cfs fibromyalgia all same … is it all related to hypersensitive nervous system …

Question: what if you're like 80-90% of the time in orthosympatic mode despite doing a lot of brain retraining and being aware of thoughts (I am very neutral, nor positive nor negative).
Do I have to cut the stimulus on my body even more? It's already quite low. Perhaps rest more?
neutral I don't think is enough to recover.
Smart man
Thank you so much! 😊❤️
Wow thankyou
You're so welcome
What if my problem is I enjoy thinking and am overdoing things by indulging in too much research, reading and thinking? I 'started life' as a biochemist, then wound up as a professional programmer, so used to do this sort of thing (reading/research/experimenting) for days/weeks/months and even years. Yet now, after thinking about some technical subject, or doing some programming, for a few days, I slam into a wall and get PEM. How to think less?
This is me. Art and poetry, visualizations, listening to lighthearted fiction stories has helped. Give that rational overworked part of your brain a rest
@@B3l0v3d05 I mostly Reddit and watch RUclips. Reading fiction isn't horrible, but my Swiss Cheese memory means I lose track of what I've already read pretty quickly.
When I complained about this, my doc recommended guanfacine and NAC (N-acetylcysteine) as something that's helped other people with brain fog, but I'm not sure that's what the problem is. In any case, while it may be having some efficacy, I'm certainly not overwhelmed with the results.
This might be great advice but it takes you far too long to get from the initial there are two roads to what you should do about it. Don't forget you are presenting to people who are dealing with CFS and don't have the attention span or energy to stay with you for such a verbose talk. "With CFS there is a crossroad where you can either exacerbate the symptoms or relieve them at this point you need to be conscious that you have a choice and can manage which route you choose. Essentially calming and more pleasant or allow things to get worse. Learn how to recognise the triggers and employ your method of dealing with it. This may include things like meditation once you have identified the crossroads and when you need to take charge". How long would it take to use this outline and if need be add any small words that are needed.
Thank you for sharing! 😊
Thank you very much this is so helpful.. I’m from Germany and I’m soooo super sensitive bc of 7 years severe illness… Benzo damage, chronic Lyme, mold etc.. it started when I was 21 and now I’m 28 and I lost everything.. I’m about to start with brain retraining. Do you have excersises or something I can build a plan for me? I don’t have the money to buy Gupta or dnrs bc I spend everything on private doctors. Thank you
Glad it was helpful 😊
Hi Miguel..You are fabulous and thank you so much..Buthave 2 queries..Could my cfs have been inituated by a physical injury like tendonosis of shoulder due to corrosive incorrect workout and tipped by wrong physical manipulation leading me bedridden.While i have gotten better but have been through sooi much running around doctors but fatigue and brain fog are common.Iam unable to expkain my pain or tightness along with this to any doctor..Iam practicing your Brain retraining technique.Your videos are gold and whatever you are doing guiding to people who cant afford especially after sooo much of running out with sooo many tests and have done everyrhing almost,I just have nothing but gratitude..Loads of love from India..An arxent well wisher..I hope ur brain training guided exercise with pacing works..Fatigue oh mannn...cant explain to people without sounding overboard but no one would understand..
I would recommend going through the questionnaire and if you qualify, booking a strategy call to see if you're a good fit. www.cfsrecovery.co/apply
I understand what you’re saying about the nervous system what do I do about the fatigue and the 12-14 hour sleeping? What kind of I tell myself about that because I can’t wake myself up I am so exhausted. Sometimes I sleep 12 to 14 hours and then I’m back to sleep again another four hours.
Please watch this and hopefully it helps:

So CFS is basically anxiety and my doctor was probably onto something when he said my antidepressant dosage needed to be increased.
Drugs arnt the answer. In fact they often lead to other issues.
Hi Miguel, how many times a day did you have to tell yourself that? I know you said it can come up hundreds of times a day
As much as I can, until it works 😊
Im so screwed up from 3 years of damage to nerves im dying. I cant get out of mess i made.
I always recommend going through the questionnaire and if you qualify, booking a strategy call to see if you're a good fit for the program! www.cfsrecovery.co/apply
What’s the difference between Cfs and anxiety physical symptoms? Seems the same
Please watch this and hopefully, it helps: ruclips.net/video/Ewi5Z0uJkfI/видео.htmlsi=R5ZDEGDeV30YDCpo
So do the fatigue and neuro symptoms go last with brain retraining?
This will indirectly help other symptoms + fatigue. Reducing pain takes off stress on the nervous system, mainly from the emotional and mental aspect. 🙂
Can your program help people who are tapering off of a prescribed benzodiazapine which causes the nervous system to become extremely dysregulated and oversensitized. .
Yes!
So you're saying some kinds of brain retraining require more activation energy than others?
That’s right
Can you give an example?
Listening to this i wonder if there is a reason if someone pushing themself too hard and cause this nerve issue? And this training what if they push themself too hard in the first day of the training will it backfire? Sometimes the character of the person might be a reason why they are having this issue.
