I can identify with everyone.Did anyone here lose their spiritual network? I hate to say this but it is good to know that healthy people that practice yoga can get sick.I have had 1000's of 'eat healthy,be spiritual' responses from people that do not understand.." I WAS HEALTHY,SPIRITUAL.." I was in ACIM 'A Course in Miracles' huge group for 10 years had friendships with healers,teachers holistic etc...NOT ONE!!! showed up when I fell ill 9 years ago! To make it worse they all said I created it with my mind! Including the head guru my spiritual teacher. I have no family etc..and fell thru the cracks rapidly! Has anyone else gone thru this?

I used to do yoga faithfully and then was striken with DDD, fibromyalgia and CFS. Then I did "Restorative Yoga" but that is too strenuous right now as well. Long story short, I am now on Valcyte, a harsh drug but with my HHV 6 and EBV titres, I had no choice! I am in my 5-6 week and still not out of bed BUT I have noticed a little less pain and my UC seems better. We'll see. I see my doctor tomorrow and need my blood test results, hoping my blood is looking OK and not down. I am currently blogging about my Valcyte experiences. (although when I started it, I thought it would be for my art...familiar story!) I welcome others to share their experiences of what has worked for them with these disabling diseases. Thank you for your sugggestions here. I will be spending some time checking out your links :) Hello Catherine, I will definitely be getting this book!

I'm definitely going to check it out! I'm a fellow Fibromyalgia sufferer who has benefited from yoga but struggled with that same dynamic with exercise. Have you tried Yoga for the Rest of Us by Peggy Cappy? For me it was the first time I could do yoga in many years! I regularly did the 20-minute warm-up that is done sitting in a chair. You can see my post on it at my blog: http://well-soul.blogspot.com/2006/08/favorite-find-2-yoga-i-can-do.html Pamela Hi Catherine :) Thanks for sharing the book.

I've been looking into the natural approach to helping CFS and I am so excited to try this. For more holistic advice on fatigue (and natural techniques) I've found the Women to Women website to be pretty helpful. Here's their main article on fatigue: http://www.womentowomen.com/fatigueandstress/chronicfatigue.aspx Thanks for all this info about yoga.

Although truly a blessing that this can help us on our road to wellness, the fact that illness is ever increasing in our culture is disheartening. Thanks for sharing this resource because everyone needs hope. A book like this that can help improve stamina, flexibility and most of all peace of mind is invaluable. Hope you'll keep us posted on how engaging in this practice impacts your life.
