Suzi shares her full recovery from severe ME/CFS, a 15+ year journey. In 2017, she became fully bed-bound. For the next 2.5 years, she could only walk to the toilet. At her rock bottom, she found her full path out. This is one of my MOST inspiring interviews! Starts 0:23. TIMESTAMPS below.

Summary:
Suzi Leach, now in her mid-30's, was knocked down by glandular fever at age 17 (she had some symptoms prior to that). She was soon diagnosed with ME. She had up and down periods, until a bad crash at age 30 left her fully bed-bound. For the next 2.5 years, she went deep down the diet and supplement route, and tried to perfect her pacing, but still remained in bed. She was seriously considering doing a coffee enema on the floor… when she found a new path out.

She has been fully recovered since March 2020.
