I spent the last 2 months staying at my sister's holiday house at Hawks Nest, about 3 hours drive north of where I normally live in Sydney. The plan was to get away and relax. I ended up working quite a lot, and having a lot of headaches. When I rested for long enough, the [...]

Hey folks, Well it's been a long time between updates, but I thought I'd drop in to wish you all a Happy 2011. This year has been pretty rough at times, but I seem to be recovering gradually. There is hope on the horizon. On a bad day it may feel like wishful thinking, but [...]
I'm currently in Brisbane visiting my father's family, motivated by my aunty's 80th Birthday. Technically, it's six months now since I began the Gupta Amygdala Retraining programme for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. So I think it's time for a review. I say "technically", because I only really stuck to the programme for the first four of those [...]
There's some more research out confirming the association between XMRV and CFS. It's sounding more plausible to me, although I've no idea how I would have picked up XMRV. I wonder if it's possible to get tested for it, out here in far-flung Australia. Even if I was positive, there's no recommended treatment yet... so [...]

No sooner do I write an optimistic post about how I feel like I'm actually getting somewhere, than something triggers me and I feel all pessimistic and frustrated again.

It's been 3 months today since I started the Gupta programme. It seems to be helping. I just sent an email to a reader who's about to start, and here are some suggestions from it: I think the trick is that when you have an increase in energy... don't do more activity than what you've [...]
I went to acting practise last night, and had a good time; it always gives me a lift. There's a girl there who I really like who has been quite friendly towards me, and I've been hoping to get to know her better. Last night I heard her say to one of the other guys [...]
This is an edited excerpt from an email I sent to a reader asking whether the treatment in the Gupta program worked. After trying a bunch of other treatments and listening to crackpot theories from many quarters, I'm convinced that Ashok Gupta has hit the nail on the head with his amygdala hypothesis. CFS seems [...]
