Megyn Kelly - Today Show
Jennifer Brea was on her way to earning a doctorate from Harvard when she was stricken with an illness that doctors said was “all in her head.” She is joined live on Megyn Kelly TODAY by her husband, Omar Wasow, and NBC News medical contributor Dr. Natalie Azar to talk about chronic fatigue syndrome and her documentary, “Unrest.”

ME is a mofo and doctors are clueless. I am disabled from it and it's a physical disease 100%. I've had it for 30 years and am familiar with its stages. It started as a Mono infection. ME is like having the flu every day among other things. Chronic inflammation,, chronic pain in the spine and brain. Brain swelling (think encephalitis). Back and neck muscles are sore all the time like I've been working out all day when I've done nothing. Blood pools in the legs when standing and causes heart problems and orthostatic intolerance. Insomnia and smoldering nervous system anxiety is the worst. Sleep windows run around 4 - 5 hours. I wake up dizzy with a headache every day. Vertigo in the morning is common. Benzodiazapines are the only thing that works when the nerves become fragged and insomnia starts its vibrating. Active window is between 2-6 hours before crashing starts and more pain and inflammation set in. Activity is either impossible or if possible leads to severe crashing. You can't win for losing when it comes to being active which helps the fatigue/blood flow but frags the nervous system. I can see how ME people commit suicide. The medical community mostly has NOTHING TO OFFER. People claim to get better but feel that's a myth (i.e. BS) or they don't have ME. I am so grateful for Jen Brea and her work. Maybe people will start to take this seriously now AND GET SOME TRACTION ON IT!!!. Thanks!

Well said John Rhoads! Mine started as mono that entered my brain and spinal cord also. Years into this, I'm still surviving. My story is much like yours. Thank you for sharing. Thanks to Jen Brea also. We may not get well, we've suffered so much and fought so hard, we can only hope caring people will find the cause to save our children and those after us who get it. Too many beautiful souls out there to leave them laying in the ditch this illness creates for people. Screamingseagull says "yet you found the strength to type that." ...hopefully praising you for finding the strength to reach out to others when you yourself are suffering. Steven Hawking found a way to type, it's so important to try to stay connected to others if you can.

You know the difference ma'am. You know the difference. This is neurological. You feel it in your brain and spinal cord. You feel it. And when my doctor and all doctors are stuck believing in PACE, and talk down to you, telling you to exercise and don't know the damage exercise does, much harm is done. You will never wonder if you have ME/CFS. It is a type of 'fatigue, you haven't known before and you know it when it hits you. Maybe like having the flu and heat stroke at the same time. The worst part is you stay alive. The best part is you stay alive. As an exercise-loving person who still had a weight bench because I loved working out, it's insulting to me when doctors think I just don't want to exercise. I've pushed past every kind of pain there is just to survive in a world that denies my reality. This isn't fear of exercise, I'm forced to exceed my body's limits every single day because there is no support to help people like me. I can feel the damage happening. I must continue to hurt myself to do what I cannot do, and collapse all day long. Would you tell someone with the flu that they need to jog the stairs every hour? Could they force themselves to crawl up the stairs? Probably. But after they do that they are much sicker, not better! And it isn't improving their health either and they know it. Welcome to the world of CFS/ME. Every moment is like climbing those stairs with the flu.

One comment bothered me in this interview "How do you know the difference between * I am just exhausted * and *this*?" Ask the patients and they will tell you. Hopefully soon all medical professionals and the general populations will understand that there is a huge difference. When you get tired, you rest, and you recover. When you have MECFS, you crash - many of your body functions feel stressed and it is painful and debilitating and emotionally stressful - and then there is no recovery. Rest doesn't bring a sense of renewed energy. It's more of a just lie down and wait and that wait can be days, weeks, months, years. When you sense a crash coming you have minutes to stop the crash from going into an overdrive, to immediately stop what you are doing and to lie down. Once in the state, your body cannot rest even though you need it. It depends on what stage you are at with the illness. Jennifer Brea hasn't had it for very long so she hasn't experienced what this disease does to your life if you have had it pre-internet and for 30 years. There is a feeling of dread of knowing what is coming. I am sure that I suffer from PTSD from having this disease. The constant up and down and trying to function in a "normal" world really does takes it's toll.

@@AdaAdi77 Pretty ignorant to suggest cures when many people are being diagnosed with MEcfs with varying initial events. Researchers are just beginning to learn and understand the biological basis and physiological impacts of this disease. So what one "cure" works for some demographics with varying triggers and biological basis won't for others. The important focus at this point is that not enough reseaech or medical support was available when ME emerged and it was pathologized. I resent your comments because I have suffered from ME since the outbreak in the mid-eighties. For you to come along and think you know my history and experience is foolish, igonrant, and hurtful. I am not dissing EMDR and I am happy you and others have found relief. One day, all of us lumped into MEcfs will be sorted into different diseases. At least that is my hope. What I have experienced as ME is not what others have experienced in recent decades. I wish you best of luck and improvement in your health and wellbeing.

Some matters eased but what has happened has been so labyrinthine that a gazillion other layers popped up...nasty stuff. That's not being negative about the process and I know it has helped so many and needs to keep rolling out so those who can be helped can access it. Obviously, on a personal level I'm devastated.

JW Suicides WOW!!!!! Thank you for your message. I am so sorry EMDR has not worked for you. Don’t give up. My doctor recommended these four things: EMDR, EFT, DNRS and Gupta. I tried EMDR for six months with two therapists in parallel and it has not worked out. I blame the therapists because I had improvements and then they made mistakes so I withdrew. So I have been reading EMDR literature to see what kind of therapist I need to look for and also contacted about twenty therapists in the States and in Canada and interviewed some and I am down to three potential matches. I understand you, I have been looking for a good therapist for years... if I find someone good, will let you know. :) I am very picky. Gupta gives the best explanation of the sickness in a KZfaq video: Causes of ME/CFS with Ashok Gupta (minutes 8-38) but I personally prefer DNRS. I was very reluctant and dismissive but it’s working! In spite of my distrust. However, the success rate with DNRS is 90% and with Gupta is 2/3, according to the program creators so I have a theory that people with emotional issues may not recover as easily as “normal” people whose brains are triggered but they have this solid basis in childhood attachment to parents. That is my theory. That is why I am looking for trauma processing through EMDR (or it could be EFT and hypnosis - I am talking to an university prof of psychology and she swears by these two), in tandem with neuro retraining. Gupta talks about meditation and I am not an adept, so that is why I stuck with DNRS. But the idea is that this is doable. It may take longer for you and me than for Brea, but it is doable... KZfaq testimonials for DNRS and Gupta on KZfaq; my jaw dropped. I got rid of POTS, of severe anxiety

I'm a bit conflicted about this film. Yes, it's important for people to see it. But fortunately, most of us with ME are not as severely affected as Jen. We have relapsing and remitting symptoms, some of us manage to push ourselves to do some semblance of the activities of normal life. We pay dearly if we go outside the limits of our energy, most of us have severe sleep problems, suffer from widespread, sometimes severe pain, and problems concentrating. We look like anyone else. Most of us are not former PhD candidates or as young or photogenic as Jen. I'm not criticizing her. But I want us to get away from the celebrity/beautiful people mindset. Ordinary, everyday people have our lives stolen from us by this disease. I wish it didn't take a pretty face to get the public to accept the seriousness of this illness. But maybe if that's what works...

It took someone like her to get the film made, but not at all for the reasons you cite. Most of us with this disease would not have made a film of themselves. When I watched it, I was glad she had the resources, knowledge, support and funding to make this film , and the bravery because quite frankly you need to be very brave to make a film of yourself this way. Every slice of the film was a push to have the courage to film and include for the public. Secondly, the comment on her looks is not appropriate at all. She is not an actor, nor famous, not previously famous and not from such a background nor her husband besides the groups he was involved with through Harvard. That actually shows a predjudice in yourself you see it that way. I hope you can learn to see it another way, and be supportive rather than divisive in this community.

With no cure I set out to recover as best I could reading nutrition, Tai Chi and reading everything I could, I function at around 70-80% most of the time bit after getting Covid-19 last August my health has been a roller coaster since. I continue as best I can and it's times like when you have a relapse you realise how lucky you are compared to others suffering, as Angus says we are our own worst enemies trying to push the boundries all the time!

Kazynski then there may be an emotional component, as well. There is an emotional component for me so I also use EMDR to remove trauma. You should try yourself because we are different. The DNRS creator says 90% of the clients healed and the Gupta creator says two thirds healed. Check out this video: Causes of CFS/ME with Ashok Gupta. To me that is the best explanation of what is happening. However, DNRS wants you to have these characteristics: no depression, no recent mourning or grieving. So I don’t qualify for the program! The Gupta program wants you to have these characteristics: optimism, perseverance, acceptance of relapses, no perfectionism and others I can’t remember - I don’t have any of these! Also, I hate meditation. So, when I heard this word in the Gupta program I cringed. So I am not touching that for now. But my understanding is that this is a retraining of the brain based on stimulus-response, removing some old responses and creating new ones. And you need to practice every day for at least six months but more realistically a year. So even though I am depressed and I have no positive outlook on life etc, I feel the benefits from doing this. I do DNRS and not one hour a day but maybe 10 minutes total and I am controlling the brain-body loop by not paying attention to my body symptoms and thus not sending my brain signals that my body is not ok and then telling my body these are exaggerated symptoms when the brain messes up. So, with repetition, you undo those associations in your brain that are caused by neurons that fire together for a long time. But, again, I am a psychiatric patient, so I Don’t believe this can solve it for me, in spite of my progress: no more POTS, no more severe anxiety, no more panic over new physical symptoms, increase of physical activity and hope. I now am looking for a good therapists for EMDR and I am down to three names - because my childhood trauma gets activated every day. I also use EFT. I don’t believe in EFT too much but it was a 7-minute session of EFT on the internet that got me out of bed last year when I had my first severe episode. I remember lying there for hours and then 7 minutes of this and I would jump out of bed. So, try these on your own. We have our own blockages; we are the locks and we are the keys, so to speak. My doctor said these were the options: EMDR, EFT, DNRS and Gupta. A patient of his, a nurse, healed with EMDR in six months. Well, I did six months of EMDR and I did not improve because I distrusted my therapists. So I am back to square one but I have contacted these twenty people in the States and Canada and I am zeroing in on a good one, after reading a lot of specialty literature and realising what my needs were.

Kazynski oh, Hypnosis is another way to access the limbic system and thus the autonomic nervous system. I forgot, but my doctor from Chicago, a specialist in behavioural medicine, only used medical hypnosis to treat his patients. He explained how the organs start to break down because the brain starts to send the wrong symptoms. So we need to basically biohack our brains and create new neuronal circuits. Now I understand him, 15 years later... I did not stick with him, unfortunately... Also, one of the psychologists I contacted and who is an university professor offered hypnosis and mentioned this person who healed chronic fatigue syndrome with hypnosis - watch her talk here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9igg7R1uL2oYJ8.html so whatever method you find useful, this is about changing your neurophysiology and it is possible. See it as a fun game: biohacking the brain to remove erroneous conditionings in your physiology. I have been reading neuroscience for a while and this all makes sense. Don’t give up! Do research and most importantly experience yourself. Give yourself time- 6 months to a year. Listen to the scientific explanations on the limbic system cross-wiring of signals and looping. I did not believe I could do it (I hate positive thinking!), but I see results - in spite of myself! Lol

I started taking aloe vera latex for seven mornings on an empty stomach with Mott's apple juice with no added sugar. Aloin is a powerful yet gentle laxative. I passed what looks like gallstones (a lot) I avoid sugar even now. After seven days I had to to start using nutrophus it's a nerve tonic. After start taking nutrophus I could have gotten out the bed and start working again. My energy level after two months is normal now. The aloin did a very thorough cleanse and I still do it like once a month.

he probably means that bec there are many ME patients who are more severely affected than Jen was,even though she was definetely not considered as mildly affected,she could do things that some of ME patients never ever would be able to do.From the outside,its hard to grasp this ilness..

Does ME mean you can't uncross your legs every time you're on TV?

She had POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), as many people with ME/CFS do. The blood in your legs cannot easily get back up to your heart when sitting or standing. Crossing your legs mitigates the amount of blood that pools in your legs.

Is there something wrong with her joints-in her legs? She has to sit that way why? Is the disease operating now-when she doesn’t seem fatigued but her legs can’t be on the ground? This just doesn’t pass the smell test.
