Hi Natalia, I did lots of stuff to get better. Don't know if it would work for you or not. So far not one person here had tried the things that I did. I do recommend a live blood test just to see if you have bugs...If you do than you can kill them, If not well? at least thats one thing you can check off of the list. I do think CFS is caused by bugs other do not........ Good luck...Doug.
I have been starting to exercise with mild yoga and jumping on a little trampoline (to drain the lymph’s). Its hard to find a good balance of how much to do because some days I feel worse then others. My family drives me crazy, it like every stressful thing that could have happened had to happen when I got sick. Lately I have been going to a meditation group and it seems to be helpful. I always feel better at the beach. We live close to the water but its really humid all year round so there’s a lot of mold in our area. I got a really good air purifier and it helps a lot, I almost never turn it off. Its too hard to avoid things in plastic but I do try to avoid metals. When I first got sick I was getting sick from our water. Like I would drink it and feel terrible then when I would shower I would get rashes it was crazy. Our water had tons of chlorine so when we put filters on the shower and drinking faucet I didn’t have any more problems with it. I went to my natural doctor today and his little electronic thing used to say I had metal in 24 functions of my body and now the metals are only in 11 and I’ve only been on this homeopathic detox for 2 months. It would be great if the machine was right and everything I’m doing is actually working. CFS is like a mind, body and soul healing process. That’s so true my main goal is to try to balance my body too!
Hey! Check out my new journal entry on supplements for the ones I take! Have a good week!
I had the RAST test done too and everything came back negative. Then when I had a skin test the egg came up positive but nothing else besides pollen etc. It was so scary when they told my I was allergic to egg, I had been eating it every day at that point but felt really sick after I ate it. Next thing I know they’re handing me like 3 epi pens and telling me to carry one everywhere I went and have one in my car and house or I could die! Then I had a test done called the Alcat and they tested for preservatives and food additives. That was where all my “sensitivities” were. I’m literally allergic to red dye, blue dye, nitrates, fluoride (now I used a nasty herbal tooth paste), tons of things I never even thought someone could be allergic to. I honestly didn’t start to feel a lot better until I started to eat food that was mostly organic and avoid the “chemicals“. The new doctor I’m going to has that machine too, its old school though with the copper handle you hold on to. I’ve tried a lot of the same things as you. I take digestive enzymes and probotics everyday. I did the NAET testing , it helped me go on the yeast free diet but I think everyone ends up on the same exact diet. I also have gone for cranio sacral therapy and lymph massages. I had vitamin B and D deficiencies so I supplemented those for a while, now I just try to get them from foods. Its so crazy because every doctor will have a different treatment plan. I think I will be better in the next year to three years. I only say that long because I have to get braces on to take me out of TMJ. If I didn’t have the stupid TMJ I would be better in less then a year. My CFS was triggered by an undiagnosed allergic reaction to my braces. So my dentist kept taking off certain braces from the swelling (this went on 9 months!) but the reaction came so fast that it was messing up my blood and they thought all my symptoms were just from a bacterial infection. Anways the braces treatment never got finished and he put my teeth in really bad TMJ. This website can be frustrating, so many people say learn to cope with the way you are because no cure. If I had listened to them I would still be completely bed bound and messed up to this day. I think your on the right path, I wish I had been on it sooner.
Good morning Natalia! Commented on your journal!! Hugsssssssssss
Came down with CFS gradually after a lengthy battle with glandular fever. 6 months on, have seeked homeopathic/naturopathic help with positive results, and been on a strict diet which works but is annoying!!
Struggling with episodic depression and persistent low mood really badly since glandular fever/CFS about a year ago. Even as a kid I had a tendancy to sink in to bad moods and withdraw.
