Rebecca Tolin was an award-winning Bay Area news reporter until Chronic Fatigue Syndrome knocked her down. She was initially bed-bound, then mostly housebound for 13 years. Here is her full recovery story. Starts 0:24 TIMESTAMPS:
Overview:
Rebecca tried countless treatments to get better until she discovered a new approach. She shares her full 13-year recovery story and wisdom from her powerful journey. She is now living a vibrant life with renewed purpose.
Her former key symptoms included post-exertional malaise, insomnia, extreme fatigue and weakness, chronic body and joint pain, migraines, 24/7 flu-like feeling, digestive issues, hormone imbalance, and many more (full list in our interview).
