Plus, it's the best way for you to help others by telling the algorythm to put these videos in front others who might also benefit from this information. Welcome! If you're facing ME/CFS, Long COVID, or something similar, you are in exactly the right place. This channel shares hundreds of inspiring full recovery stories, the latest recovery science, and practical strategies—helping you find hope, gain insight, and take your next steps with clarity and confidence. I’m Raelan Agle, and I lived with ME/CFS for ten years before fully recovering. Before facing this condition, I earned a master’s degree in Social Work and worked as a clinical social worker in medical settings which informs how I support others here. My mission here is simple: to show you that recovery is possible & that you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Video Description

Sophie has gone from being bed-bound with severe ME/CFS to now having a part-time job, walking an hour or more per day, and having a full life!
