Fatigue Professional - Rosanna

Several years ago I became ill with adrenal fatigue and CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome).

This was very distressing, particularly since I was such a high achiever type of person. I was always on the go, exercising daily, juggling several projects at once, working full-time, studying part-time etc.

When the fatigue started I believed that it was just a matter of mind-over-matter and all I needed to do was push myself through it. Unfortunately this resulted in my fatigue worsening to the point where it was completely debilitating, forcing me to stop work and rest for several months. This was excruciating for me and depression set in.

Initially I sought help from traditional Western medical practitioners and although their treatment and recommendations were useful, I found that they had limitations. So in my quest to improve both my physical and emotional health I became interested in Eastern medicine or TCM and the concept of Chi. I began to research what TCM had to say about health and fatigue.

Having practiced as a Hospital Pharmacist and worked in the natural therapies field, studied both nutritional and environmental medicine and Ki yoga - a Japanese yoga that focuses on the meridians and principles of Eastern medicine to achieve health, I decided to see if I could combine the Western and Eastern principles of health into a plan to help me overcome my debilitating fatigue.

During my personal research I realise that there were 10 different types of fatigue and that each one was due to very different internal balances. On determining the causes of my fatigue I devised a fatigue treatment plan.

After several months of adhering to this health plan, I was excited with how good I felt and wanted to share this with others - this is how the 10 Fatigue Type plans came about.
