Summary
Dan developed his own ANS Rewire nervous-system-retraining program and used gut healing, dietary changes, supplements, meditation and pacing as part of a personalized recovery plan, detailed in his book CFS Unravelled. He was ill with ME/CFS, fibromyalgia and POTS for about 7 years, progressively worsening from full-time work to being unable to work, with symptoms including extreme fatigue, pain, cardiac symptoms and cognitive fog. Recovery began after year 5 and took about 18 months, with rapid progress in some areas and slower gains in others, including setbacks along the way. He now describes himself as fully recovered, working full-time, exercising, drinking alcohol without relapse, and spending time with his wife and two children. The story gives no indication of relapse since recovery, though Dan notes the recovery process itself included setbacks along the way.
