“I'm in bed 23 hours a day and most of that time in a room darker than this and lying down.”
“While the medical system is wonderful, it does struggle with complex illnesses and it has not, it's a bit behind when it comes to research and being able to help illnesses such as this.”
“When I came across the Remission Biome project with the Renegade50 that they're doing, I was very excited because it was an opportunity to be on the forefront of research and trying some new things that could help increase my functionality.”
“I was diagnosed with ME/CFS. But unfortunately, there weren't any treatment options at that point and was just told to go home and wait a bit and I should grow out of it.”
“They've all tended to look specifically within their specialty... they'll come to the conclusion that the problem is a bit outside their specialty and I can call back if I'd like to but they're dismissing me from their care.”
“I've been taking low dose Naltrexone now for a few months which has been the first thing that's touched my pain... now with taking the LDN, my daily pain usually averages around a 5 and we're still playing with the dose of it.”
“I had to drop out... currently my education is on pause. I've had friends who've been able to come over once a month or so and sit in my room and we'll have a short conversation for maybe 20 minutes and then I'll have to rest again.”
“When I say I can't do something, it's not because I don't want to do it usually. It's because I'm unable to leave my room.”
“There's been an incredible success rate of people that experience remission or experience baseline increases, and it's given me a lot of hope that I've been able to carry with me in the day-to-day aspects when days are harder.”
“I can tell you a quick little story — I have rental property and at the last minute I needed to receive a deposit on Friday night, the holiday weekend of Columbus Day, and somebody wanted to leave and go up that evening.”
“I called Brenda and said what can I do and she said just go to a bank — they can just deposit the funds in your account and you'll be good to go; she walked me through it and gave me the addresses of the banks that the person could walk into.”
“She just helped me out in a jam — it was something I never would have thought of because Western Union wouldn't have worked at that.”
