“When Pushing Stops Working”
Jonathan Gilbert & Elly Brosius shared their perspectives about states of health and chronic conditions in several presentations in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania and about their experience in caring for those in various states of unending exhaustion or pain.
Tiredness with inconsistent memory,
Becoming easily overheated or chilled,
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 a few 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. “When Pushing Stops Working” is the time for deep discussion about why and how to reverse downward trends.
Jonathan Gilbert is a renowned herbalist and acupuncturist whose expertise is focused upon nervous system rejuvenation. Elly Brosius, a nationally recognized support group leader, is both an educator and advocate for those with CFS, FMS, OI & other debilitating conditions.
