Description

Please don’t believe this…


If you’ve ever heard things like:
“Everyone gets tired.”
“It’s all in your head.”
“You just need to exercise more.” 


My heart goes out to you - because comments like these can stay with you for years. 


In this week’s episode, I break down the six biggest myths doctors still tell people with M.E/CFS… the same myths that leave so many feeling misunderstood, dismissed, and completely alone. 


These comments aren’t harmless. 


They shape the way you see yourself, and for a lot of people, they delay recovery by keeping them stuck in fear, shame, or self-doubt. 


This episode will help you understand what’s actually true and what’s absolutely not, so you can move forward with more clarity and confidence.  


When you’ve watched it, I’d love to hear from you:
What’s something a doctor has said to you that wasn’t helpful?
