My explanation at the stage I'm at 3 yrs later is I've become two people , the guy with fibromyalgia symptoms, that do continue to exist and the the new 2.0 guy that now can do soooo much more regardless of symptoms.. Many older wierd symptoms have dissolved , replaced with activities. Brain function sooo much better.. Pain management is an ongoing practice with various tools.. 3 yrs ago, like Miguel I was a train wreck . I've had to make major lifestyle changes , a complete 180 degree turn . Unimaginable great things I've achieved , I'm so grateful and looking forward to more good times. Theory is good , putting it all into practice is were the magic happens .
I needed this right now. I have managed to go on a couple of 10 mile walks this last month but end up in bed for the rest of the week following the walk. I know it was over-doing things but instead of congratulating myself, I felt sad that I was going backwards. I will manage myself better and think positively rather than negatively about it :)
-It’s best to see Recovery more as an optimization than Recovery per se -Recovery is not a goal so much as a milestone -it is unrealistic to see yourself living without any symptoms whatsoever. That is not Recovery. -It is highly recommended to write down a vision of your future that is compelling. Who knows, you might move into that sooner than you think.
I like everything you said bro I thought you forgot one thing that you actually do and is important for everyone. Which is live life align with your values ! Ask yourself that question, What does life mean to me and what I value the most ?
I will focus more on the "grey thinking" idea, it's all about balance on different fronts: emotions, physical activity, mental activity, sleep, to name some examples. I am asking myself multiple times a day whether my actions are really balanced and hopefully this will make me able to change my patterns that got me sick in the first place!
Thank you for that great video, it resonates so much to me. I was actually sometimes asking myself the weeks "ok I want to Recover, but what am I gonna then?". I a realised I didn't have a precise view of what I want for my future and had a bit of anxiety about it. So it makes sense a lot and I will work on think about it and write down what I want. Very valuable video 🙏✊
Thanks Miguel!! This is a topic that I feel is often “danced around”. Would it be fair to say that optimised health means living life free from chronic symptoms. Of course the nature of being human means that pains and symptoms may return but the cause is no longer chronic nervous system dysfunction but rather causes that are acute and managed well with health focussed tools?
Anybody still have mixed feelings about full recovery? I find the concept of full recovery confusing and I think that by changing "fully recovered" to "optimized" we basically admit that we never recovered to the extent we'd like to. I call myself partially recovered - I can do things I used to do, e.g. a few hours of cycling, but I still feel that my body is way less resistant to stress than it used to be - I was able to race and train for many hours a week while now I always need to control the intensity and length of my rides, and for that reason I can't join most group rides with my cycling team. From the outside, I look normal, can do all things healthy people can do, and nobody would say that there's something wrong with me, but I'd never call myself recovered. And while I'm admittedly way, way better than at my worst, I hate this new "optimized" state and constantly feel grief because of how much less capable my body became, and because of the identity I lost. Maybe recovery is about acceptance of the new person one becomes after going through all that terrible experience?

Yes i am learning now how to balance yesterday did to much result a flare up so now back to 30 % And find balance very challenging i must say so ...ty for this amazing video Miguel ❤❤❤❤
❤Love this channel ! Can you make a video about how you started doing sports again ? In one video you told us, that it's better to start with living a normal live at first, and then starting to work out, but I didnt really understand what you meant by that. Thank you very much, I really appreciate this channel and the facebook Community !
You recovered from what stage? It Took soooooo long for me and i am loosing hope. Bedridden now for 3 months. I wish i could sit on my Couch in the living room, but way to it is too long. Feel in a cage and then my doctors want to send me in a clinic. I can hardly talk 10 Minutes. It stresses me, telling everyone that i know i have cfs while they think it is only a Trauma. Yeah with a Trauma you do not need pacing
I wanted to download the pdf files and saw an option for Paypal, but the link doesn't take me to Paypal. My only option is to enter my credit/debit card info, which I don't want to do. Anyway I can pay by Paypal? Thanks!
Is it more rest in need I wish this thing would go away. It feels like I jumped off a building falling in the air and I'm being electrocuted I feel like a vibration.
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. ua-cam.com/video/Z5Bd6uM_oWE/v-deo.html Also, here's a playlist I created that will help you deal with symptoms if you're looking for more info on specifics: ua-cam.com/play/PLJT8-UVmfsmKHgGkCQPKkmHgZL11LqvJa.html
I love this video, especially where I'm at in my recovery. I like that we're continuing to optimize. I teared up when you used my win. My future looks so bright. Thank you so much. 🤗🩶
Yes!! And it is so wonderful to see you getting better and better, so inspiring and give us strength and confidence we will all optimize our health!! 🏆🎉🥂

Genuinely can’t thank you enough Miguel for articulating things in a way that resonates with me :)
I’m so glad it resonated with you ❤
