While Dr. Charles Lapp has good information to share about ME/CFS he is a proponent of exercise, GET, which has been proven to be potentially dangerous for PWM. In this article he states… “Make a daily low level exercise program a priority.” Please be very cautious taking this advice from any doctor and keep in mind that he still is a proponent of it whether you are seeing him as your doctor or simply learning about your disease from him.
“…ACCEPTANCE, then ATTITUDE, the ADAPTION.
…There are a number of factors that negatively impact recovery, but a poor attitude heads the list. Those who insist “I can’t, I won’t, … ” fulfill their own prophesies. The first step is to convince yourself that “I can, I will …” Next address any emotional obstacles, especially depression, anxiety, and stress. Nothing will defeat the “I Can Attitude” like depression and anxiety, and I don’t believe that I have ever seen recovery from CFS or FM until these two emotional hurdles are removed. See a psychiatrist, see a counselor, talk to your pastor, priest, or rabbi – but do whatever you can to control these emotional drains.”
