You won't believe this. A while back, I was eating at this really cool Japanese restaurant called Ichi. It’s in a small beach town called Port Macquarie. Anyway the owner of the restaurant comes up to me and starts asking me questions. What do you do for work? etc... I explained to him how we run a world wide online recovery program that help people get healthy and start living again. He asked a few more questions then eventually left me to eat my dinner. What happened next is wild! 10 minutes later as I was eating my dessert, a girl in her mid twenties comes up to me… “Toby??” “You are Toby Morrison right?” I was like “ahh yes I am.” She replies. "I’m Jackie! I did your program about 5 years ago." It suddenly clicked!! We gave each other a big hug and had a good chat. Jackie wrote an article on her recovery after she finished the program. Now she’s working full time, has a lovely partner and is living life! A far cry from where she was when she joined the program.The owner overheard the conversation and came straight up to us and said you aren’t one of the members of his program are you? Lol. It was so funny and surreal at the same time. What are the chances? Anyway here’s a pic of Jackie and I outside the restaurant! Toby. PS - I’m going to share with you the article she wrote below because it’s pretty cool to see her story and where she’s at now! Enjoy. “I got sick when I was in my final 2 years of high school, I went from being extremely active with playing sport most days of the week, to being virtually unable to get out of bed. At my worst, I would sleep 20 hours a day, had the whole onslaught of symptoms, only left the house for doctors appointments and my biggest activity for the day was moving from my bed to the lounge room for a change in scenery. I genuinely don’t remember 2 years of my life during my darkest days of CFS - it’s all a blur of sleeping, doctor’s appointments and snippets of Law & Order reruns. However, I was pretty lost. I didn’t know where to look for help. After many months of searching and testing for any other plausible explanation for my symptoms, the doctors finally gave me the “you probably have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome“ chat. Much to my surprise, that’s where the conversation ended, my GPs just didn’t know how to help me, which is the unfortunate reality for the majority. Thankfully I stumbled upon the CFS Health team on Instagram during my second year of CFS and it changed the game. All the research and work was done for me, I didn’t have to waste any of my “better” hours trawling the internet, I literally just had to watch the videos and implement the suggestions. There wasn’t an instant noticeable improvement after starting, but like anything, given time and consistency, the progress came. Fast forward 6 years and I’m in my final year of my Dietetics degree, working casually, am back into sport and exercise and generally just living and loving life without having to factor in my fatigue. I’ve gone from barely being able to do ‘sit to stands’ to lifting over my body weight at the gym and people genuinely being shocked when they find out my health history.”
