Tomoyuki's Story: Living with ME/CFS

My descent into the world of CFS began with a fever at a competition, followed by debilitating heart palpitations that skyrocketed to alarming rates. This led to multiple panic-driven visits to the emergency room, fearing my heart would give out. I'm back to visiting stores, roaming malls, and even skateboarding againt were once integral to my identity.

But then, I found CFS Recovery.

The Science Behind ME/CFS Recovery

In ME/CFS, the nervous system can get stuck in a chronic stress response. The issue may be functional rather than structural. Your nervous system may be locked in protection mode, making even normal activities feel overwhelming. This is what keeps symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and pain cycling.

Nervous system retraining uses neuroplasticity, your brain's ability to rewire itself, to help shift out of that stuck state. Instead of just managing symptoms, it works to address what may be driving them. That's where meaningful progress can begin.

Research on neuroplasticity-based interventions has shown measurable improvements in autonomic nervous system function. A 2021 review in Frontiers in Neuroscience confirmed that the adult brain retains significant capacity for rewiring, even after prolonged dysfunction. Voss et al., 2021

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you recover from ME/CFS?

Many people have. Tomoyuki is one of thousands of documented recovery wins across CFS Recovery's community. Through nervous system retraining and neuroplasticity protocols, people with ME/CFS are recovering every day. CFS Recovery has helped people from bedridden to semi-functional and everywhere in between.

What is nervous system retraining?

Nervous system retraining uses neuroplasticity principles to help your brain and nervous system shift out of a stuck stress response. In ME/CFS, the nervous system often gets locked in a protective mode after a viral trigger or prolonged stress. Retraining helps it recalibrate, which may allow your body to start functioning more normally. It's coaching-based, not medication-based.

How severe was Tomoyuki's condition before recovery?

Tomoyuki was dealing with ME/CFS at a moderate level, experiencing significant symptoms that led to major lifestyle restrictions, but still managing to work. Watch the full recovery interview to hear the story in their own words.
