Probably the largest selection of Fatigue
Recovery stories on the internet is here - from people who have
attended a training course with Consultant Fatigue Therapist Amir
Norris. Read on for recovery stories from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis,
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Post Viral Fatigue, Fibromyalgia and Adrenal
Burnout.
"It's so exciting being well
again after being so ill. Many people have commented on how well I look
now, and really, I think I am better in myself than I have been for a
long time, perhaps ever. "
"I am sleeping so much better
and when I awaken I am ready to go. I feel refreshed and energised.
People around me are noticing a huge difference in me."
"I can't explain how I feel
about the help Amir gave me, all I can say is he has changed my life
for the better - I can live my life to the full now with no limits! It
really has changed my life in so many ways."
"It's now been 8 weeks since I
finished the course with you and Aliya and it has been life changing
for me. I am now able to get up at 8.30 every morning and start my day
with breakfast and not lunch! "
"The turning
point in my recovery was definitely the Energy Excellence Course.
Although other therapies have helped to encourage progress or alleviate
temporary symptoms, the overall recovery has been almost exclusively
down to what you taught us. You organised and delivered a great course
with sensitivity and patience."
"If you are
thinking of doing the Energy Excellence Course, I can't encourage you
more to just take the step. I have my life back again and feel freer,
more balanced, focused, energised and calmer than ever before!"
"I feel
lighter, have tons more energy, my head feels clear, I wake up feeling
as though I've slept, am more conscious of the moment, more
appreciative of the moment. Thank you a zillion times Amir and Aliya!"
"Doing the
Energy Excellence Course with Amir has given me my life back. How can
you ever thank someone enough for that? If you're reading this and want
your life back, please, please, please, do the course. It will be the
best decision you've ever made."
"I'm very
happy to be able to share my recovery story (so far!). It's just
amazing to think that after 12 years of being completely housebound
with ME and not imagining I'd ever be very much better, I am now living
a very different life, and going out 2 or 3 times every day!"
"Hi Amir, it
was this time just 2 yrs ago that I was nervously anticpating seeing
you. I didn't think then I'd ever be heading off to Bosnia to help
other people recover from their traumas. For the first time, I feel
that my physical, emotional and spiritual self are congruent and I am
truly living 'the life I love'. The combination of tools you taught
have turned my life around and I shall ever be thankful to you for your
help in setting me on this amazing journey."

"Just wanted
to say hi! Four years on I'm still fighting fit thanks to your help. I
have a little sheep in my car that I bought from Llansteffan that I
called Amir which reminds me of you and all the skills I developed on
the programme! I'm working full time in an Inclusion department helping
teenagers overcome barriers to learning and Loz and I got married last
year, so good news all round."
"One of my
major goals was to be able to endure, survive and enjoy working at a
festival, which I haven't been able to do for a few years. However, I
have literally just returned from an extremely hot and dusty eight days
at Glastonbury Festival and can quite categorically say...I DID IT!!! I
endured, survived and totally enjoyed the experience, am back at work
and don't feel at all as before, when one day would have left me
useless for weeks."
"The course
is one of the best things I have ever done in my life... it explained
why I had been feeling so rubbish and ill ... an explanation I had been
unable to find, and being medically trained I needed those answers! My
life has changed so dramatically from just trying to get through
everyday ... and worrying about everything to now being full of life,
and to do all those wonderful fun things I could only dream about doing
a year ago, it’s a great feeling to have!"
"It has been
9 months since I came to the Energy Excellence Course . . . I want to
tell you that on this day I am getting dressed to appear on the start
line of the biggest Rowing Race in the world, able to put myself
through the grueling 4.5 miles course on the river Thames."
"I attended
your Energy Excellence Course almost a year ago now in Wales . . . and
subsequently "grew out" of the debilitating ME which had dogged my
steps for over 15 years. I am now completely free from unhealthy
fatigue and able to live life to the full."
"At first I
thought, no way, CFS is incurable. Then after reading what had been
written by your clients, I eventually came round to the fact that I had
to try . . . "
"I
never
imagined I would ever be free of pain or illness, I never imagined I
would be happy. But I am now all of those things...
Thank you a thousand times."
"I've been
traveling for 3 months - in fact we did 10,000 miles of traveling and
filming, and my partner and I are now making DVD's about the birds of
Spain and Morocco...Before the Energy Excellence Course I needed to
rest every day and easily got exhausted and brain fogged...I've just
recommended you to someone - they can see how it's worked for me. Thank
you."
"Having completed
the Energy Excellence Course with a wonderful group of people and a
great teacher (Amir), I returned to school on the Monday morning after
the course and have attended full time since that date"
"I would say
to anyone else who has read all the books on Adrenal Fatigue etc - if
you are not getting better, go on the Energy Excellence Course if you
possibly can. For me it has been truly life-changing despite my initial
uncertainty. I know I have a very good future ahead of me and I intend
to live it fully! Thank you."
"I can't
believe how quickly my life has turned around and not only am I fully
recovered, but my experience has made me appreciate my energy more and
take more pleasure from the things I used to take for granted.
"I have been
so happy with the results, that I have been trying to raise the
awareness of the course. I recently got a small article into of our
local newspapers about the course.
I am also hoping that I can set up a local support group at my leisure
centre, so that I can let others know that there is help out there.
Once again, thank you for giving me the tools to regain my life."
"The Energy
Excellence Course really changed my life and gave me the tools to tame
my brain at a time when it was totally out of control and ruining my
life...
For those reading this who are in a dark
place right now, put your faith in Amir and in yourself and you will
find the light sooner than you think."
"The changes
in myself are so remarkable! Colours are so much more vibrant, food
tastes much nicer, my energy is increasing by the day, I'm happier,
singing and dancing, more calm and relaxed, enjoy life more, laughing,
more focused and enthusiastic, clearer thinking, more positive, sleep
better, eating anything I want...Many thanks for all your help and
advice, I feel so alive!!"
"I'm doing
really well! I've started to learn to drive, done lots of cooking, I've
started swimming - I'm up to 18 lengths. I went to an outlet shopping
village, walked around Oxford several times - all without needing a
wheel chair. I haven't been able to do this in 5 years."
"I will
continue to steer others in your direction! lots of my friends and pen
pals have been to you since I have been and have recovered 100%!!! yay!
I hope there will be many more people who can say ‘GOODBYE M.E’ and
‘HELLO’ a great new life!!"
"Well, what
can I say... It´s been 6-7 weeks since I met Amir, and it has been a
simply remarkable and wonderful time. Most of my symptoms are long
gone, I do whatever I want, and I feel great!"
"I have to
own up now that I was a bit of a skeptic. I even thought that these
testimonials were faked. (sorry Amir) I was so wrong! ...For all those
people suffering in silence, I would say get in touch with Amir. I
can't put into words how what he taught me has changed my life...."
"I just
thought you would like to know that I am very well. Yesterday I ran in
the 100m and 200m and came 1st in both. This means I am now Somerset
County Champion for 2008!
The attachment I have sent with this email is my 100m race yesterday. I
am the one in line 6.
"If you've got M.E./CFS/PVFS/Fibromyalgia
and you think you deserve to get better, go and see Amir, and stop
going round in circles, life's too short...No more symptoms, no more
avoiding certain foods, no more brain fog. As the saying goes, it's
easy when you know how!"
"I feel
better physically and mentally than I have for about 12 years, which is
a huge relief.
I no longer wonder if I will be
well enough to undertake anything - I just assume that I will be, which
means that I can fill my days and plan ahead, and which is of course
very liberating..."
"...The next day I felt even better and we
went for a walk up to the beach cliffs and that was the first of many
nice trips I´ve done over the last couple of months. I have started
training again - swimming, cycling, walking in the mountains, Pilate's
and working out in the gym! "
"Feeling
well is such a beautiful feeling and something I never expected to feel
again! It's amazing! I feel like the most blessed woman in the world!
I'm so happy and excited about the future! My whole life is changed for
the better!"
"I am an
even more positive person now and soo determined to achieve all my
goals in life, including playing squash for England. I look to enjoy
every day as I had one and a half years wash by me, without noticing
what was around me. So, if you are considering seeing Amir, then please
go for it. You can change your life, get it back on track and start to
enjoy the things you once loved. Good luck."
"I hope you
all feel as well as possible at the moment and that my story inspires
those of you that can/want to learn to overcome M.E. with Amir
(especially those who are severely affected and didn't think you could
manage the journey! I managed 4 hours+ in the back of a car lying down
on a mattress, paralysed from the waist downwards!! I was about 5% at
the time)"
"Feeling
healthy and well are my top priorities. In fact one colleague said I
have a very calming influence in the classroom!! Nobody would have said
that a year ago!!I feel it isn't just my health that is better but my
whole outlook on life is healthier too..."
"Message: !!!!!!!!! THANK YOU !!!!!!!!! Hi
Amir It's been a year since I came to see you
and I want to say a big, huge THANK YOU to you. Thanks to you and the
course I've had a fabulous year and I look forward to and feel grateful
for every single day - I still feel like a miracle happens every day -
it's great! Every good wish to you for a wonderful year! Love Esme"
"I am now
able to exercise for however long I want, I can talk for hours non stop
(my family can't get a word in sometimes!) and I feel like my old self,
but better in some ways... What I have learned from Amir has changed my
life forever. It hasn't just helped me to get well, it has also helped
with other aspects of my life..."
"I feel alive and alert when I wake up on a
morning and can't wait to get out of bed. I take great pleasure in
being up and ready before my boys get up. I can't wait to get going.
The boys are delighted I'm better, most of the time, they don't like
the fact I am well enough to be strict on tidying up, doing homework
etc, but they'll get used to it!"
"I write
this to inspire anyone concerned they 'aren't ill enough' or anyone
wondering how they can better deal with life's experiences. My dis-ease
was not just about Chronic Fatigue or ME; the physical illness is your
body's signpost; and (if you let it), the journey of recovery, the
catalyst which can show you a shiny new door of opportunity and a whole
new way of being..."
"I'm
able to
rush about and get things done without worrying about getting ill. In
fact, I would say I'm the healthiest person I know at the moment!
Mentally, I'm also very well. I no longer get stressed about things or
fear things for no reason. I feel like I can handle anything."
"I hadn't
expected to actually enjoy the course - hanging out with a roomful of
ME sufferers! But the surroundings were beautiful, the course itself
was interesting and revelatory and so much of it made sense... Anyway,
I heartily recommend this course to others and I now firmly believe
that it can change your life too."
"Dear Amir,
I am very well and leading a normal life, going out when I want to and
watching telly in the evening, which is still a novelty! I have just
finished a basic reflexology course, taken part in a large choral
concert and am progressing well in my Spanish classes.
Having more energy seems to be helping my
brain work better! My walking is going well and I am looking forward to
some hill walking when the weather improves. Thank you Amir for giving
me back my health and enabling me to live a life I love which I know
can only get better and better.
"I first read an article in the Daily Mail
earlier this year about someone Amir had treated and was so encouraged
to hear about a possible cure for this
debilitating condition.
Personally, I am so glad I was
able to go and experience the course - it has given me my life back."
"Six months ago I heard about the work Amir
does through a friend whose daughter had been to see him with great
success...I not only got well but also learned things that will be
valuable throughout my life."
"The turning
point in my recovery was definitely the Energy Excellence Course.
Although other therapies have helped to encourage progress or alleviate
temporary symptoms, the overall recovery has been almost exclusively
down to what you taught us. You organised and delivered a great course
