Welcome to the group. You will find we all have a lot of things in common here and the discussions have been really helpful for me.


As it happens, you and I have one particular thing in common - I live in Adelaide too. I am only aware of one other Aussie on the site and she lives in Queensland.

I hope you get as much from the support and understanding of the wonderful people who share here as I have.

Hello! Welcome to the group. We have such a supportive group. You never have to be afraid to be yourself here. We'll be very happy to have you. It sounds like you are trying your best to stay as well as you can. We all do our best and we share here what's working and what's not. We share our good days and our bad days. May you be very blessed on your journey.

Hi and welcome!!

This is a wonderful site to be on!! I've been here since the onset of CFS/ME for eight years! I have learned more from these dear fellow sufferers, than from any doctor.

Please visit the site, often, and regularly! You will make some fabulous friends! xo

Hello & welcome, I hope you enjoy this group as much as I do. please feel free to post & make friends. Also, it is good to read the other posts too, it is helpful in getting to know who is who, everyone here is so knowledgeable & friendly. I can't post everyday but I do try to come here & see what everyone is doing. I hope to get to know you better. Take care, hugs, Denise

Yoohoo from up in far Nth Qld.The heat is over the top this summer and we need to do a rain dance. I'm sure Adelaide is more bearable.Welcome to our wonderful support group.You will love it here for sure.So many people with hearts of gold to help you on your journey with cfs.

Welcome to the best support group of caring people I can't come in as often as I like, but going to try to more often. I am bedridden most often and don't know what I would do without the kindest group of friends I have been blessed to have here.

Nobody understands CFS better than one dealing with it daily...
Happy we have three Aussies now
Peace & Healing

Greetings, Denv12. It's nice to have you join the group. I think you will find a lot of really supportive people on here who understand how you feel, because we are going through a lot of the same things. I enjoy hearing about the different places we live, and I am friends with the other Aussies, but I look forward to hearing more from you.

Welcome :-)

I'm learning to live within a realistic energy envelope. Takes some ingenuity. Traveling is something I wish I had done more of before I became ill. So many interesting places to go. I'd love a cruise on the Rhine. I've heard it's very doable because you don't need to go to shore and can stay in a nice room or on the deck. Sigh.

Welcome, Denv12! Nice to see another man here. I'm one. ;-)

You have found the kindest, most caring, loving and supportive group of people that I have ever found. We all live with this damned illness every day, know what fatigue and brain fog REALLY are, and most likely share many of the same concurrent illnesses and complications.

The girls are right, every one of them. We GET ME/CFS; no need to explain what life is like for us like there is with normals. And among ourselves, we have more applicable knowledge than any team of doctors.

Some of us use the journal application. You can set rudimentary privacy levels - public, just friends (be sure to send friend requests!); you can set goals, share what you want or keep individual entries private just to yourself.

I can't praise D-ribose, recommended by Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum (author Fatigued to Fantastic), enough. It is the only supplement I have ever found that I and my wife agree really DOES HELP. I use that daily and try to live within my energy envelope. I take proactive rests and STOP and rest AS SOON AS I realize I'm starting to fade. I try to get out to walk at least every other day if I can, even if only 10 steps down the driveway (or 3) and back. Fresh air and sunshine are good!

These things work for me. I hope you find many close friends here, more helpful ideas to improve your Quality of Life (QoL), and much love and support it's here, like a smorgasbord; if you leave hungry, it's your own fault.

Welcome, Brother.

Hello from the frozen north and I do mean northern United States. This group can provide the social network that CFS can take away. I'm fairly new here myself but what I've seen on this site is a great bunch of people reaching out to support each other. I practice EFT and am aware of Faster EFT. I would love to more about acupressure for CFS so any info you could pass on would benefit this group as we are all searching for that extra bit of energy that makes life easier.
And I am aware guys can do housework. The best part of CFS is my husband now does the cooking most nights Yeah!

Welcome Welcome Welcome !!! i also like Dr J Teitelbaums book & energy drink. you will discover so much information here. :o)
