Help with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
I need some help and advice with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome! I have been chasing Lyme Disease, Fibromyalgia for almost three years.
I recently read more about Chronic Fatigue syndrome. You can just about throw a blanket over the symptoms of all three, and they match. The information I've read was very helpful, but some symptoms and the way CFS works was very similar to what I have been experiencing.
Any help or reference material would be Greatly appreciated.
I'm seeing my PCP this Thursday. Would like to go in with some information.

Thanks for your response @becsbuddy .
I got your point Becky. I will contact a good hospital's Internal Medicine soon (possibly a Univ hospital).
Thanks a lot for your help Becky. May you and your family be blessed with good health and happiness. Will keep you informed.
Yours Sincerely

I am told I have fibro and I believe CFS is probably more dominate. I always am more tired when I wake up then when I go to bed. Take naps at least 1.5 hrs a day often twice a day and don’t get up til usually 9:30 or later.
I read your post with interest. Looked up the product you have used and saw the following info. Thought I’d share for whatever worth it may have. The source of the reviews credibility may be questionable too!
Sorry, I am not sure how to attach link!

ASEA Redox Cell Signalling Supplement is A SCAM! (Honest Review)
By Obinna Ossai, MD | UPDATED: October 3, 2021
Well I and my friends who have been using Asea the last year or so have felt so much better and an increase in energy. If you go online you will always find a negative review on pretty much anything. I suggest you go on there website at Aseaglobal. There are 400 plus independent studies that promote the product. Either way reading Anthony Williams ‘Cleanse to heal’ or taking Asea you can’t go wrong!!
I will look into it further. I sure could use both. Thank you for responding.
Since I also have Fibromyalgia and low energy I got interested to learn about ASEA products.
I’m disappointed reading about this product- it’s too vague. The only certain components are water and salt.
Maybe that’s why it’s not FDA approved. Most supplements are able to list detailed description of the ingredients.
Would this be compared to “alkaline water” now sold in grocery stores with claims of improved health?
It seems a mystery to me why ME/CFS remains a mystery to doctors. The research being done is done with good intentions, however when you read it, it seems unstructured. I don't understand why there is no data base. We live in a super technical age. A data base would be a good starting point. Why not examine what we all have in common. Then, go from there as a research group. Instead, the information I read is scattered all over the place. I'm sure the physicians involved have the best of intentions, but there seems to be a lack of organization. After 40 years, I would assume this puzzling
ailment would put everyone on the same page. It hasn't. Also, jumping the long Covid bandwagon isn't going to help the ME/CFS people. Long Covid and post-Covid syndromes have definite origins. ME/CFS seems to have a mystery origin for which there is no marker. Perhaps the Mayo can help
straighten all this out since the clinics are known for their superb problem solving. I share everyone's concerns and hope we can move forward in a more positive, organized manner. As for the person who said "doctors have clue how to heal autoimmune," ME/CFS sufferers ARE THE CLUES.
The CDC has some information on ME/CFS that you might find helpful if you have not already seen it...

@petuniamom567 Someone mentioned this clinic at Stanford University
https://med.stanford.edu/chronicfatiguesyndrome.html
Check it out and let us know if it’s helpful!
Thanks for Stanford site recommendation. Very interesting. Think everyone with ME/ CFS should read what the university says.
Might be helpful. Certainly food for thought.
I was 48 when a cardiologist(!!) in very small town finally ordered right labs…
Acute infectious mono ( EBV ). By that time (a year or more) I had Hashimotos Thyroiditis. Soon after, thyroid surgery.
The brain fog, deep aches, incredible fatigue continues. For about 8 years I
have been on hydrocodone 10/325. Tried many other things. No help. Regular exercise? Not much!! Three months ago started Stretch Zone ( 1/2 hr twice a week. Start very slowly or pain is worse.
I’ve been collecting info from many sources since this started. Something not working right with mitochondria,ATP MAY be a culprit PERHAPS caused by EBV. So until we know more I will take hydro and rest and sleep a lot.
That’s the very basics of my journey with this. Oh! Depression came along. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation was a great treatment. But, no cure.
I just found this site. Glad I did 💙
