    • Close Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

      Drop Dead Flu finished me off on September 13, 2005. I had to leave my job and give up my life as I knew it. Mounting emotional stress topped off by a physical stress test caused my body to shut down. It took a year of counseling to cope with my loss of who I was and recognize who I am now.

      Treatments

      Effexor Working / Worked
      Doctor prefers over Cymbalta due to dual action of pain and depression qualities
      Xanax Working / Worked
      Take during the day for anxiety, at night to help sleep. Also needed to prevent/ keep mouth blisters under control due to GERDS / Acid stomach.
