E14: MECFS POTS Fibromyalgia Sleep normalisation explained by Dr Jacob Teitelbaum

Wisdom From The Other Side Of Recovery from Fibromyalgia, ME, CFS, POTS & MCS

Fibromyalgia sleep and ME/CFS sleep are full of problems. Getting to sleep, staying asleep, and experiencing refreshing sleep all elude patients.

Dr Jacob Teitelbaum is one of the world's leading Fibromyalgia, ME/CFS and POTS physicians and shares his experience and insights on sleep restoration in this episode of the Wisdom from the Other Side Podcast.
Dan Neuffer & Dr Teitelbaum discuss normal sleep vs sleep in fibromyalgia/ME/CFS/POTS and how to normalise fibromyalgia sleep disturbance to accelerate recovery progress.
We peel back the layers of strategies for sleep normalisation, including neural retraining and also the psychological components of sleep disturbance.
It's so easy into thinking that we have 'tried it all' in terms of fibromyalgia sleep remedies or ME/CFS sleep treatments, but what is needed is a structured building of strategies to improve sleep.
We discuss fibromyalgia sleep problems like sleep apnea, fibromyalgia sleep medication (CFS sleep medication) and Upper Airways Resistance Syndrome in Fibromyalgia, ME/CFS and POTS.
