So so sorry to hear about your illness.
I only know of one person who has ME.
It affected her very badly for a couple of years but she fought through it and now you would have no suspicion that she had ever been ill.
In the early days she had no energy or strength and wanted to sleep constantly. Are these the symptoms you have.
I do hope it turns out not to be ME after all.
But whatever it it - my thoughts are with you.
Hugs, Alex x

All I can say is Clare, maybe look into homeopathic and more natural things to eleviate any symptons. Even look into diet, many people just dont realise how our food we eat is effecting us, there could be many foods or supplements that may help you, short or long term.
My friend has MS and was always going on about 'her homeopath' and her reflexology etc, and i although i used to agree with her in principle, i thought she took it too far at times. Having spent time with her and researched more into homeopathy etc, i now realise how much it helps her, and even now 4 years later, still isnt on any medication for her MS. Amazing.
Give it a go hun, and i hope things get better for you, sooner rather than later.

I have ME or as its better known CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome).....diagnosed 6 years ago but with management live fairly symptom free. Stress, late nights, food, illness all trigger further attacks and are manageable with the right treatment.
If you want to talk further either in msn or on the phone, send me a pm and I will give you the details. smile
Not nice at all but it IS manageable ........honest
(((((hugs)))))))

I'm one of those who has been helped immensely by homeopathy. I went from crippling, not leave the house pain and craziness, to normality. I'd definitely call a qualified person and ask them about it. good luck with it all.
Very sorry to hear about your health problems Clare. I have a friend who is recovering after several years with ME. I know she is convinced that echinacea has played a major part in her recovery, even though I also know that latest research is still undecided about the benefits of it. I agree with those who recommend consulting a homeopath to see what they can do.
Good luck - thinking of you. Please let us know how you get on.

Sorry you're having problems Clare. I went down with the same problem a couple of years ago following a virus. PVFS / CFS is a difficult road to travel but it needn't be for as long as some of the cases you'll hear about - I'm well on the mend now. Rest can be a help but it does get frustrating, particularly avoiding doing too much.
Action for ME is a good support organisation and there's a new approach called Reverse Therapy (you can find it on the net) which is claiming very good results.
Take care of yourself and if you ever fancy a chat, drop me a PM
Hello Clare
Sorry to hear that. From the people I have come across it seems that your mindset can help a lot. One person I know doesn't even try and just has a miserable existence, but the other keeps postive and does as much as they can within the limitations.

Diabetes. Not saying it is but being tired all the time, sweating, trembling/shakes & dizziness, going to the toilet a lot & having frequent (down there problems), are just some of the symptoms. Go see a DOCTOR hun and get your bloods checked out. It only takes 10 mins, they take a little blood out of your arm & send it off to get tested and they come back with your results, painless & sorted.
I'm no doctor but have this condition and would'nt wish it on anyone, so for your own sake insist on getting your blood tested. They should be able to find out what your problem is through your blood (you'll be surprised).
Good luck luv & get well soon.
Claire
Earlier this year I had something similar to what it sounds like you are having. At the time I was a little worried it was ME especially because of how Loooong it dragged on.
Turned out that what I had was post viral fategue. I had suffered from two fairly serious viral infections one after the other and it just wiped me out.. much like when you have glandular fever. And it had me feeling crap and incapacitated for months... fortunately my work were really good about it, but it was tough because there were no tests or answers, nothing they could do that showed me I was ill other than the symptoms.
You would never believe that a virus, or that little bug going round the office could wipe you out so completely.
The fact they have diagnosed you with post viral debility sounds like you have the same thing... doctors are shit about describing it and helping you with it, because to them you will get better and don't require further treatment.. so they just ignore you or tell you off for wasting their time.
Just so you know I am totally fine now... am making sure that I never let myself get run down like that again by being sensible with my lifestyle and getting good quality exercise.
I hope you get through it and come out well on the other side. Get well soon kiss

For testing on diabetes it takes 30 seconds right there and then at the doctors. wink I always feel tired but I could never imagine it 24/7. Specially with the other symptoms too. Personally I just don't agree with illness. Its bad and its not clever.
I hope you just find it is something really easily to solve and treat. All the best. :cry:
Thank you all for the wonderful pms and words of advice here kiss
I had 3 different sets of blood tests so it definately isnt diabetes.
im trying to stay positive and keep muddling through it,but it is just glad for our kids,they have a way of keeping you going without even knowing it. biggrin
Again Thanks all :kiss:
Hi i'm new here, my wife has been living with ME and it's related illnesses (depession, weightgain etc) for many years, at first it was very worrying, but with an understanding doctor and help from freinds and family she has made as near a full recovery as possible. The secret is learning your physical boundries and only doing whatever you can day by day, if you need to sleep for 24 hours, do so. After a while you will build up your levels slowly and surely. Never push yourself to far, or you will end up back at the beginning. My wife is now back at work, out shopping at weekends and causing trouble like she used to, lol. My wife knows that when she catches an illness, she must be extra careful to recover properly before doing too much. I hope this helps you, great site by the way, I hope to raise my head a bit more in future. J

Clare, Keep an open mind and try to remain positive which feels like constant battle you feel you are losing in your situation... have known a few people / frends with ME or conditions similar to it....fight for yourself...don't become resigned.....use complementary therapies... have some aromatherapy just to relax as well as for the essential oils....complimentary therapies are good but make sure you eliminate all the conventional medical posibilities - the net is good for doing some research. then push your GP to consider everything...ask for a second opinion... try a well woman clinic... speak to people in an ME support group ....don't compromise and make sure you look after yourself.....
