Great testimony brother. I am really pleased that you see this trial as an opportunity to learn and grow from. Many people in this CFS community are absolutely miserable and have a terrible defeatist attitude. Which to a point I understand, but as you stated our minds are incredibly powerfully and we must believe and trust that we will get better and learn to focus that energy in a productive and beneficial way. This journey has been a rollercoaster. However, I'm done feeling sorry for myself and have chosen to not let this disease define who I am. "Circumstances don't make the man, they only reveal him to himself."
Thanks mate yes you are spot on there is too much negativity surrounding what we are capable of and not just the CFS community but humanity in general. Yes I understand for some people the negativity is probably justified but for most people we have the power to change our entire being for the better and that should excite us all! I'm so happy to hear that you have not given up on yourself and will keep searching for answers and better health, awesome bro!! Keep at it 👍
More people need to see this. The amount of wisdom Jaspar has shown in his fitness and in general life is staggering. If someone with Chronic Fatigue can be fit, anyone can.
No. Most people with ME/CFS cannot be fit and it's extremely dangerous for them to try. He is very lucky to be in remission and able to do exercise. But even for him, physical activity provoked relapses.
@@cosmicmuffin322 I believe the right amount of exercise is crucial in this context. Doing too much is certainly a bad idea and can send us backwards. But there's always something we can do to start. Even if it's lifting a small weight while in bed, or performing a couple of squats if we are out of bed, whatever is manageable, that's a start. And even if it seems insignificant at the time, it will have a positive impact long term.
I was more saying that if someone who had a sickness as severe as Chronic Fatigue (even a "mild") version of it, it means that MOST people can be fit, but I definitely didn't phrase it in the best way. Thank you for Sharing i didn't know how horrible it ME/CFS could be, but i also stand by my point: You can always do something. @@cosmicmuffin322
@@selinaraines101 hi mate, thanks for commenting, I'm aware this is a very touchy subject, trust me I've suffered for over 20 years with this illness I don't take this subject lightly. I think I'm not explaining myself correctly here, and it's gotten way off topic with the conversation surrounding exercise. In terms of dumbbells, you can get ones that weigh the same as a can of beans which is what I'm referring to here. Also, I have helped a friend of mine who also suffers with CFS regain a lot of strength and confidence after a serious car accident which triggered a major relapse and we had great results rebuilding his abilities and confidence through very small and incremental improvements over a couple of years. Also, I'm not prescribing exercise for anyone here, I was simply replying to a comment that someone mentioned relating to exercise. Now aside from exercise, the main message here is that we have a lot of hopeful and effective health practices that are well known nowadays and I reference some amazing people in the part 2 of this video. Also, the main message here is simple: do not give up hope, and keep searching for answers. I believe that a lot of us with not just CFS but many diagnoses are left with feelings of helplessness and no hope, especially if doctors can't fix us with drugs, they basically say 'you're sick for life' and there are many examples through human history where people have defied this rhetoric and made complete recoveries which I find hopeful and inspiring. So to clarify, I'm not prescribing anything, I'm sending a message of hope. May I ask if you have watched my video? Because this has gotten far off topic which is a shame. But I do appreciate you commenting as I wish to create a helpful conversation for everybody so I appreciate it. Thanks mate, all the best
Hey! I'm really enjoying your content so far, i think you deserve so much more attention. I'm looking forward to become a personnal trainer myself in a near future and you represent a very good source of inspiration to me! I would love to learn more about how you became a personnal trainer in a future video ( your source of inspiration, what you studied, etc). I find the subjects you talk about in your content very interesting, keep up the good work! Greetings from Europe.
Hey Pierre thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement, I appreciate that a lot! That's really awesome mate, I'm excited for you! You'll be changing people's lives for the better 😁 I would love to make a video on that topic, I had never thought about that before! I will put something together for you mate 👍
You are very lucky to have a supportive mother who did everything to try to help you. I imagine that is the reason you still believe in the "power of the mind". For those of us with severe ME/CFS who had no support, it's much more difficult to believe that positive thinking or whatever is going to make us better. When I got sick over 15 years ago my mother, a healthcare professional, immediately gave up on me and left me to look after myself (I am semi-bedbound). I try every single day to have a positive outlook, foster good habits and make the most of life, but it's not the same when you are alone.
Thank you for sharing mate, yes I am extremely lucky to have had the support from my mother and I still believe in the power of the mind completely. I'm very sorry to hear that, I can't imagine the pain that would have caused you. Human connection and love certainly plays a massive role in our well being. I still believe in you mate, please stay in touch, you're not alone
@jasparvowden I still believe in the power of the mind completely. Are you ok with that? Because we still don't know where the problem is. Clueless... Absolutely clueless.
I diagnosed myself around 1 year ago. I feel tired and weak and sick everyday. Even going for a short walk exhausts me. I dream of going to work one day.
Thanks for sharing Debra and I feel for you! It feels like forever when you're stuck in your body like that but I'm sure you will find a path to good health one way or another. Is there anything you've tried or are planning on trying to help with your recovery?
That must be very painful, however I suppose there's some relief in having a more clear diagnosis. Have you found anything that helps with your symptoms?

I wonder why they're trying the splint if you get no tmj symptoms any more? Good to hear that's improved though. I hope the new meds also help you out mate all the best with that!

thank you for making this, so beautiful and I loved the reference to kipchoge he is so wonderful! I am proud of you and wish you all the best!!
Thanks so much for the lovely comment mate! Kipchoge is a massive inspiration to me. All the best to you too 😁 cheers
none of us can change the past, but we can enjoy the "present" moment, Creating a better future in the process.
Sure can, well said bro! Cheers 🙂👍

Are you ok with that?
Sorry I don't understand the question?

Because we still don't know where the problem is.
Clueless... Absolutely clueless.
Yes because the mind is not seperate to the body. I'm not saying I have the answers, just hope
