Episode 171 - From M.E/CFS to exercising again without P.E.M (Raff's Story)


Listen Later

What real M.E/CFS progress actually looks like

Before joining CFS Health, Raff was spending around 22 hours a day resting. Getting dressed. Eating meals.

Holding her head up. All of it took everything she had. She lived with constant dizziness, tinnitus, light and noise sensitivity, and severe brain fog. Even a one-minute walk could wipe her out for days. 

Like so many people with M.E/CFS, she was doing everything carefully but still not getting better. 

Today, things look very different. Raff is now:
 • Working again
 • Cycling and hiking
 • Skiing with friends
 • Slowly building a full, meaningful life — safely and consistently 

She’s still on her recovery journey. But the progress she’s made is extraordinary. 

This isn’t a miracle story. 

It’s a realistic, honest example of what progress can look like when you stop the push-crash cycle and follow the right process. 

If you’re feeling stuck, scared to do more, or worried that progress just isn’t happening for you — I really think this conversation will help
