A Young Lawyer Beats ME/CFS: Kato's Recovery Story
Kato, a young lawyer in Belgium, developed chronic fatigue syndrome in her mid-twenties after an infection, leaving her exhausted, plagued by headaches, and unable to work for nearly two years. After conventional medicine brought no relief, she found that brain-training techniques with a supportive coach coincided with a swift return to full health, including running and mountain hiking again. She honestly notes that residual fear and doubt about symptoms returning can persist after recovery, which she manages without letting it limit her life. Her experience shows that lingering worry after getting better is common and does not mean someone is still sick.
