Just received a message that Dr. Teitelbaum ( Book--From Fatigued to Fantastic) will be a guest on Dr. Oz show on Friday. Don't know if we will receive any new information on FM, but look forward to hearing what they have to say.
How did you know that the show would be about diet and exercise?
I want it to be about educating Non-FM'ers about our very real disease that is contagious.
What a huge disappointment! The show was not about US with CFS or FM as a disease as you would expect with Dr. T as a guest. The show was about the millions of people who are exhausted due to balancing the demands of job, family, finances, etc. We don't have that kind of fatigue. What we have is profound.
I'm glad they are telling people who are tired to eat more spinach and get your thyroid tested, but that doesn't do anything to help us. Dr. T only got to say a few words and general fatigue - "buy my book"
I truly felt like Dr. Oz thinks we did this to ourselves because we didn't take care of ourselves.
It made me feel sick.
I believe Dr. Teitlebaum has some idea of CF/FM, since he implies in his book that he had one or the other and is now pain free. WHAT!!!! Is he the only one earth who has been cured?
I really feel that Dr. Teitlebaum knows more about CFS not FM. Maybe his regimine works for him as his pain could have been caused by a deficiency. If so, then all his supplements may have helped.
