Recovery stories
Bear in mind…
None of these stories should be taken as medical advice. No recovery is ever the same. These stories are shared in the hope that the reader may find some common ground, something they can relate to and therefore may find potential puzzle pieces of their own illness. Maybe, in this way, we can waste less time, energy and money on recovery solutions that won't work for us.
Stuart Porter’s Story
Stuart’s health collapsed overnight in 2021, leaving him housebound with CFS/M.E. After months of misdiagnosis and little medical support, he took recovery into his own hands. Through deep research, recovery programmes, and creating his own RESTAND framework, he rebuilt his health and now helps others with CFS, Long Covid, and similar conditions find their own path to recovery.
