MBâs Success Story

I suffered from chronic pain for over 27 years trying everything both orthodox and complementary medicine to no avail. I was diagnosed with chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome (a localised form of  Fibromyalgia) which had completely taken over my life. I felt very depressed, anxious and unable to plan anything with friends and family.  I just lived from one appointment to another in the hope that someone would understand and I could get some relief.  My main symptoms were terrible spasms in my head which were more or less there all the time. I was unable to concentrate on anything and slept very badly which added to the ongoing pain and discomfort. To this day I donât know how I managed to hold down full-time work in a very stressful job because some days I just felt so awful I wanted to die. Nobody could understand because I looked ok and as the medical profession couldnât help me I was expected to be able to cope like everyone else.  It was all just a nightmare that I lived through for years and many a time I was accused of ânot pulling my weightâ by my work colleagues.  Little did they know the supreme effort I was having to make just to get myself there! I did have to be off sick at times but I never received any support or understanding and Iâm sure they thought I was just a malingerer. I used to be so envious of someone with a bad cold because I knew that at least they would get better whereas my illness was endless. 21 years after contracting the condition I resigned from my employment being unable to cope with the constant pain and pressure. Eventually a few years ago I heard about a Fibromyalgia/ME Contact Group and last year I found out about the Gupta Program through another person suffering from Fibromyalgia and CFS. She was so enthusiastic about it I decided to give it a try. I knew it meant a six-month commitment but I was so desperate I was ready to try anything. The Program was really easy to follow and it almost immediately made a lot of sense to me as I could really relate to what Ashok Gupta was saying about the amygdala. I realised then that my amygdala must have been on constant alert for years and was just waiting to be âswitched offâ.
Within a few weeks of following the Program I started to feel different and much better within myself. Â I began to understand that without retraining the symptoms become totally self-perpetuating and so I gradually lost the awful fear associated with my Illness. IÂ now incorporate meditation and breathing into my daily routine which makes me feel so much calmer and able to cope. If at any time I do feel slight symptoms I donât panic because I know that I have all the tools at my disposal to deal with them. Â I feel so much better in every way and just know I am well on my way to a full recovery.
I canât recommend the Gupta Program highly enough. It was the best money I have ever spent (I think I must have spent thousands over the years trying to get rid of the pain!) and my life is now completely different.  It really is worth giving it a try â after all Ashok offers to refund your money if you donât feel a difference in six months. What have you got to lose!
Thank you so much, Ashok for giving me my life back! A thousand thankyouâs!â M.B. UK
