Started brain retraining for my moderate cfs, and sensitised nervous system around beginning of may. It was going great the first few days, but by about day 4 or 5 i seemed to go into a flare up of new symptoms id not had before. These includes nausea, mood swings and depression.

Im trying my best not to be bothered by the symptoms, not giving them any fear, but ive also never heard of these ones specifically from mind body work. Is this a normal experience to last more than a week? And does anyone know whst my next steps should be, perhaps scaling back a bit?

Started brain retraining and other mind body work a week or two ago. Yesterday was hit by a wave of symptoms i hadnt experienced in months. Some id rarely had from cfs before, like mood swings and depression also.

This feels different from a crash, and likely just temporary while my body adjusts to me trying to the slightly more id been doing (reading, jigsaw puzzles and playing my synthesiser for short periods), but the symptoms are almost worse than crash ones. And going back to doing less for a time to come out of this flareup is definitely not going to be fun or easy at all.

Is this a normal process that others here in recovery have gone through? I'm tempted to order a copy of alan gordon's the way out, to slowly read through while being less active.
