Chronic Fatigue Syndrome -- The Deadly Cycle

[Natalia]

Hi Rhah, I am glad that you shared your experiences and got it out of your system. When we have a health problem, it sometimes helps to talk about it and connect with others <3

Natalia, I can't recall if you mentioned it, but have you been checked for Addison's disease?

Hi all,

you've probably read how cfs/me can be caused by a variety of different things (and other members have posted about that in this and other threads)...and that cfs/me can take a long time to heal from...

there are the physical triggers (viral, vaccines, toxins, physical trauma) and there are the emotional and mental triggers (trauma from past abuse)...

It seems to me from reading and watching around, that highly sensitive people who have experienced a lot of trauma, or extreme trauma in their lives, are more prone to getting illnesses like cfs/me, and other illnesses. There is definitely a link between childhood abuse and physical illness...it can lower the immune system or it can make it unbalanced (like in auto immune diseases)...

I'm not going to talk about what caused my trauma, but there has been a lot in my life...and not just childhood...

So, it seems to me that to heal from cfs/me, it's a combination of things...and it depends on the person what can help them...

The Doctor Sarah Myhill protocol has helped me quite a bit, and so has pacing, but I feel that there is more...so I am now looking into the emotional and energetic aspect of things...I posted in a support group and a few people said that EFT and Reiki had helped them...I keep meaning to try EFT but never have stuck to it...

btw, my contract at work has been temporarily changed so to 3 days a week part time, and I will no longer be getting sick pay or full pay, until I can work full time again...so this month was my last full pay for a while and so I got 2 months worth of all of the supplements that I need, and that cost £180! (and that is with some of the items being in the sale and discounted, and a few I still have not got yet)...so it is expensive - but worth it.

ooops, sorry Silkie, I missed that. I have not had a check for Addison's disease, which does look like it has mostly cfs like symptoms...Maybe I can ask the cfs doctor when I see him in May. The more things that are ruled out, the better.
