Hey, chugging this stuff, powdered drink mix, RELIV. I think it may actually be helping but it is still too soon to tell. I stinks so bad and tastes so bad but if it will do for me what it did for Lynn, I'M A DRINKIN' IT!

I am just drinking the CONTROL version first to make sure to allergic reactions, the next week I will begin the ENERGIZE which is what I desperatly need.

Keeping fingers crossed and nose pinched.

Been on it a week and can seem some improvement. Even hubby has noticed. Also changed and am drinking a lot of water simply because that is a HEALTHY thing to do.

Look into it. It's been around for 20+ yrs and the FDA won't regulate or state anything as it is considered a "supplement" and they can't touch that one way or the other.

RELIV I am a believer.

I hope it continues to work for you.

My experience in 17 years of this is, I'd find things that helped, but after 3-6 weeks they stopped working. Like a chemo patient whose immune system catches on.

Good for you for waiting for an allergic reaction too. We have to be very careful when we self-guniea-pig. I can't take anything mold or fungal related, no soy, and nothing that resembles a wildflower/herb/weed.

Again... it's been awhile since I heard about RELIV and I hope it helps you!

KWEEBL - I too have had that problem, odd ain't it? It's almost like CFS/FM is viral in nature in that it changes in form/fashion? That is one of the theories you know, that is is viral based. Yeah, that and 50 cents you can get a cup of coffee maybe. LOL

So far tho, it is still working and I am noticing improvements slowly but steadily. It is very high in soy protein, etc. Even my friends I speak with only via phone have noticed the sound of my voice sounds stronger. So, AGAIN, I'm a chuggin' on until other wise.

RELIV also has a money back guarantee so I figured what did I have to lose. My dr., being honest, has admitted we are now out of even the "experimenting" stage of medicine possibilities. So, see, I really have NO CHOICE. Further, I know there are only 3 meds left to "try" and each is worse than the other with the worst being saved as a last ditch effort.

So, drinkin' & praying. Yep, that's what I'm doing.
