CFS Progress Review: May 2012

As you know, I take most of the content for these posts from my diary entries. These have been getting more and more scarce as I have got better. Having said that, here is a short list of things I have learned about my progress over the last month:

• As I am progressing in my recovery, I am finding it easier to focus on the broader aspects of my life, and as a result of this experience, I have found that my priorities in life have shifted. I am also beginning to grow in confidence each day now.
• I find that my cognitive ability has improved to the point where I can methodically work through a problem, come up with a solution and then act on it (for example my personal finances).
• Beginning a course of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (referred by my GP) is helping me to deal with stress and confidence in a constructive and positive way.
• As my ME/CFS symptoms begin to go into remission, I am starting to focus on the future, and what changes I would like to make to my lifestyle to ensure I never have to suffer this condition at it's worst ever again.

Well, I told you it was short and sweet, but hopefully reading these entries gives you a glance into how I have managed to progress so far over the past few months. I hope I can inspire others to do the same.

Enjoy the long bank holiday everyone!
