Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Support Group
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) describes a sense of exhaustion and post-exertion malaise, even when you have gotten enough rest and sleep. The disease is characterized by six months of incapacitating fatigue experienced as profound exhaustion and extremely poor stamina, and problems with concentration and short-term memory.

Thought we needed this thread, where we can all share things that actually helped us. Remembering that we all are individuals and nothing works fir everyone. Here we can post about anything from supplements to spa /massage /to getting rid of excess baggage and "friends " who are time and emotion vampires........etc.
I will start by sharing about ESSIAC. I desperately need to get back on it. Trouble is, you can't use the kind at the health food stores, that's not real Essiac. You have to order each of the four ingredients from certain scources and mix it yourself. Then you brew it up into a tea. It really seemed to help my symptoms a lot, and the best part, it gave me the most awesome sense of well-being I have ever experienced, all the way to my core. It has been touted as a cure /preventative for cancer, and there is some evidence to support that.
Google Essiac and find the article about Marie Caisse I believe was her name. She was a Canadian working as a cancer nurse when she was given the recipe. She was even jailed at one point, cos bottom line, the Cancer Cartel didn't like that she was curing patients.
That article gives exact recipe. I will find the list of scources for the 4 herbs and post that later. My pony -tail man wants attention.

Also, sublingual high dose vitamin B on a daily basis. Generally I take that at around noon because it gives me a little energy boost and I need it then. Also this one does not have B1, I take 25 mcg daily of that as well. http://smile.amazon.com/Natures-Bounty-Vitamin-Complex-Sublingual/dp/B001G7QPC8/ref=sr_1_14?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1414342946&sr=1-14&keywords=sublingual+b12
Otherwise in the now immortal words of Queen Elsa...the best healer for me is to just "let it go". Peace and acceptance have been my best healing measures.
Here is a link to an article about Essiac. I have also wondered if it would help us. My friend with stage 4 cancer could tell a big difference when she would use it and wouldn't. In fact she would be sick the days she didn't.
What has helped me are Myers IVs and AMP5 shots and glucosamine IVs. They are pricey but have been very worth it for me. I am now able to work 6 hours a week and they pulled me out of bed and have given me about 1/3rd of my life back. I was housebound, bedbound, recliner bound for a year other than going to the doctor.
I take a lot of vitamin B and am starting to take ATP in the mornings.

I am able to work part-time as a substitute clerical, but on for extended periods. My daily routine of caring for myself is my main source of exercise, and occasional snow shoveling. I am to do a once a year backpacking trip, but I have to rest lots before and after. I am fuzzy brained right now after the physical stress of hysterectomy surgery, so I hope this all makes sense. Excuse the rambling.
