1. Does self-management really work?

• Self-management is powerful and is more effective than many commonly used treatments including medications.
• Improvement is the norm not the exception.
• Even the severely ill can benefit from carefully implementing self-management and self-care.

2. How long does it take to complete the course?

• Go at your own pace, there is no right way to complete the course.
• Take at least 4–5 months to complete. It’s OK to take longer.
• Take a minimum of 2 weeks per module — 30 to 60 minutes of learning daily.
• Take your time to experiment and implement new strategies.
• Review as needed, learn more each time.

3. What if I am very ill and need someone to help me with the course?

To assist people who are severely affected, you may nominate a carer to take the course with you (at no extra cost).

4. Can I book an appointment with Dr. Stein and pay her privately?

No, Dr. Eleanor Stein is fully retired from clinical care. She has put what she knows into her online courses and updates them as she learns more.

Amanda met Dr. Eleanor Stein after living with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and fibromyalgia (FM) for over 15 years. She suffered from frequent energy crashes, pain flare-ups, brain fog, and frequent migraines.

Amanda’s doctor admitted, “I don’t know how to help you,” and recommended Dr. Stein’s programs. Amanda registered for Dr. Stein's Pathways to Improvement course, where she learned daily changes that drastically improved her quality of life.

In Amanda’s words, “I no longer have ongoing FM pain or chronic migraines, and all my symptoms of ME/CFS have improved significantly. My day-to-day energy is more stable as I finally stopped the push-crash cycle. I still consider myself a work in progress, but I have figured out a balance that works for me. 

Deborah

“Pathways to Improvement was also a good support for positive self-esteem, self-care, managing negativity. Attending the sessions and connecting with participants was helpful.”

Lorraine

“This course is fabulous! I have been suffering with MCS, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Depression, etc., for 23 years. Dr. Stein guided us to a comfort level, of not only handling the online activity, but also learning so much about my condition and how to live and thrive with these barriers that still exist.

"Dr. Stein is an incredible presenter, who is organized, clear, and concise. She responds to questions and really makes her audience feel that she is really there for each person's wellbeing.”

Jayne

"It is not the end of it but a new beginning on my journey. I feel confident now to sit down and create a plan."

Phil

"The course introduced new skills and knowledge, all of which gives me more confidence and hope in moving forward."

Lara

"I have more acceptance of my health. I have found a better balance between not losing hope but not wasting time chasing medical interventions."
