The purpose of this, she said, was to induce a fight-or-flight stress response in your
body (the sudden cold) and to train your
body (NOT your
mind) to stay calm during this process. She said it would help us stay focused and in control during high-stress situations, and I have to say, I believe it worked for me.
Could this same simple technique relieve the intense, debilitating exhaustion of ME/CFS, and maybe of fibromyalgia as well?
