“When Pushing Stops Working”

A 2007 - 2009 Presentation Series

 
 

“When Pushing Stops Working”


Jonathan Gilbert & Elly Brosius shared their perspectives about chronic health conditions in fourteen presentations in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania about their experience in caring for those in various states of chronic exhaustion.


    Tiredness with widespread aches, sharp pains,

    inconsistent memory, easily overheating or chills or both,

    coordination difficulties, clouded thinking, muscle weakness.


    Insomnia or unrefreshing sleep, communication problems,

    variable anxiety and/or reactive depression, irritability,

    new sensitivities to food, chemicals, light, sound.


These are some of the many possible symptoms that may become part of everyday life, especially after pushing yourself harder, doing more and when that ‘more’ stops working. We needed more real conversation about why.


Jonathan Gilbert is a renowned herbalist and acupuncturist, whose expertise is focused upon nervous system rejuvenation. Elly Brosius is a nationally recognized support group leader. She is both an educator and advocate for those with CFS, FMS, OI & other debilitating conditions.
