Hi Kayshasmith1

Hope you enjoyed it and managed to watch it all xx

Hope it helped you this condition can be very debilitating. I think time is a real issue in the surgeries.

Good luck on your journey my friend

Hi my friend

I am delighted to read that you enjoyed the show. I am still in tow minds about it as he missed many tests etc that he could have undertaken? I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck and please take care of yourself my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Yeah it was very vague & hate the fact at end she was magically cured which I think as lie but in a way it's still getting our day to day struggles out to people who have never even heard of it. So good In one way, bad in another xx

I know that's why I said it was good to start with, I felt sorry for the lady. He ruined it as soon as he mentioned it's in head & at end saying she no longer suffers with fibro as if it was that easy none of us would be suffering xx

I think these shows are heavily edited for TVs viewing and, while some are picking up that she thought he was saying it was all in her mind, he went to great lengths to say it wasn't what he meant at all. It gave me some pointers to think on as I want to get away from the really high doses of opiates that I've been on and I want more natural ways to deal with the ensuing pain which is proving hard. I know that while the pain relief has masked my pain it's also changed my personality to the point where even I don't know me anymore 🙃. There's a lot of medical research being done on the mind / gut connection at the moment as well so I'm hoping to find another way to fight this shitty condition 😃💖

Yeah it's more the miraculous recovery at the end really that I think is probably untrue haha xx

Hello again

What day was the program on?

I would like to watch it!

[TheAuthor in reply to Hidden]

Hi Hidden it was aired on BBC 2 on the 27th of June. They do tend to repeat the show so you may be able to catch it again or on iPlayer? Good luck my friend.

A true phenomenon!!!

Pity there is only one of him 😣😣However, when you watch to the end you will notice the focus is more on the CFS area than the pain issues, also what happened about all that medication ?? Did she stop all of it, some of it ?? My doctor seems to think it would take 2 - 3 months to come off all my meds, but the programme was only over 6 weeks.

Great to have the condition highlighted but a bit of a ' wishy washy' ending.
