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

I had almost all those symptoms relatively recently.
Mine turned out to be stress.

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.

you have a pm from a mate and the best doorman in notts xxxxxx
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.

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
