I fully understand, what being bedbound is like. I spend most of my time in bed, although am grateful that now I am now just housebound! Like you, I am a prisoner in my own body, and yes it is tough. You are blessed to have people looking after you. I hope you do get better than you are soon. Miriam Hello

Thank you for this insight into your world.
I fully understand, what being bedbound is like.
I spend most of my time in bed, although am grateful that now I am now just housebound!

Like you, I am a prisoner in my own body, and yes it is tough.
You are blessed to have people looking after you.

I hope you do get better than you are soon.

Due to the lack of information available at the time (and still not available), I did my own research and after recovering I wrote a book so that other patients would have the information that I wish I had when I was ill. I have just recently put a free e-book version of my book on the website. I suffered from severe CFS/ME, but have now recovered and have been living a normal life for 7 years with no symptoms.

I too became ill with FM at the age of 19 after a flu-like illness. I was able to go to university part time but had to drop out as I could not commit to full time studies due to my health. The last 19 years have been a struggle but I have been immensely helped by Dr. Beverly Tompkins at the Burke Institute. Through her diet, sleep and lifestyle planning with me I am able to work part time in a challenging job am now married and looking forward to starting a family. Although I do not have the energy of my peers I have a very full life. Please look into sending your son and daughter to her clinic in Calgary Alberta. Your GP would have to refer them to her. Take care. Hello,

I am interested in any genuine relief suggestions that one has been involved with for over two years. You mentioned an excellent physiotherapist. If you are in calgary and can pass on name and contact then much appreciated and how many treatments and how often attend. Do you have a natural doctor as well that has helped you and how and also been to for two years or more that you can recomend? in Calgary? thanks, Ron. Also very long with FM.
