Cucumber water and tea helps my palpitations. But I do believe most palpitations have to do with the mind. If you truly convince yourself that something you are doing is working you'll notice a decrease in palpitations. For example, I believe cucumber water helps me because I've done my research and I drink it every day. The KNOWING and the DOING is what's working. You put your mind at ease and that helps tremendously.

What about Dr Lam's approach exactly make you feel worse?
@livingwithmecfs9 күн бұрын
He said the reason for my fatigue was that my body was overloaded with toxins. He put me on a detox protocol, the main component was liposomal glutathione. My health began to deteriorate quite soon after starting it but I was encouraged to continue, told “you have to feel worse before you feel better” but I just continued to get worse. It felt as though my body was poisoned I the space of 4 months I went from being semi independent to completely bedbound, unable to feed myself or wash myself. Dr Lam said he didn’t know why this happened or how to help me. 5 years later I am still predominantly bedbound and need assistance with washing and eating. Thankfully my cognitive functions having improved but physically my body is still very disabled

Abilify? How does an antipsychotic med help with ME/CFS? What's the evidence here? Can you please point me to a paper or scientific article about this? I mean, antipsychotics can have severe side effects, so there better be some evidence for this 😮
@livingwithmecfs9 күн бұрын
When used to treat ME/CFS it is used in a much lower dose than when it is used as an antipsychotic medication. Some specialist ME clinics like the Bateman Horne Centre prescribe it for patients. As with many prospective treatments for ME/CFS there is a lack of research studies because there is a lack of funding.

There's a huge difference between the large chamber with 2+ ATA and the majority of smaller, single occupant units. I paid $800 for 20 sessions in a smaller chamber, and it did nothing. There is a larger facility near me that offers 2+ATA, but it costs $15,000 for the same amount of treatments. And as the man says, insurance does not cover.

Sorry to hear the lower pressure chamber didn’t help. I have heard mixed results from people using them, some find them helpful, some don’t. It is a shame the higher pressure ones are so expensive.

MPH did the trick for me after 20 years of fatigue which got worse when I got Covid. MPH I did not even expect to help me with tiredness. I started taking it to treat my ADHD that got diagnosed this year. I noticed quickly that it substantially reduced my tiredness and thought this might be euphoria or just a short lived boost. But it kept doing the thing. 6 months later and it is still as strong as day 1. This stuff got me finally into a position where I was able to claim my life back thanks god. Step by step.

How can you tell in advance if you'd be able to do something twice?
@livingwithmecfs23 күн бұрын
There will be some activities you know you can do easily, without worsening your symptoms, for example walking 5 minutes. These are ones you are likely to be able to do twice (eg a 10 minute walk) before your symptoms kick in. Then there are other activities which you know will exhaust you, for example walking 20 minutes. You know if you struggle to do this once there is no way you could do it twice. There is an element of trial and error involved but the more you figure out your limits and what you can and can’t do without triggering symptoms the better you will become at being able to assess whether you could do something twice.

Hey Casey thank you for the info I'm sure you have been informed that those of us who have been vaccine injured suffer from many of the same kind of issues.... my main thing was a horrific change in mental health to where I literally was psychotic three days after taking it I woke up suicidal and I have had a rough life and never been suicidal... you are not alone in the significant mental health area and it does seem strange but the spike protein at least when given the shot via the lipid nanoparticles will pass the brain barrier and well basically, everything and for me that's what it did like so many women it also went to my ovaries which then made me bleed for 3 years every single day until I was diagnosed with breast cancer I didn't even know hormones could cause cancer because there is literally zero cancer in my family which could make up a medium-sized town there are so many of them.... thank God my breast surgeon was the first Dr confirmed breast cancer from the hormonal issues via the vax. I'm glad that we have been able to come together as communities so we can help each other. I know many others with the same symptoms. In my small circle of just injured there are thousands and that's just a small circle of Minnesota billions of these were given out and almost everybody has had covid so beyond the covid virus it's not too far to expect that Millions have died and or are still sick either from the vaccine alone or the vaccine plus the illness, or the illness itself ... not trying to be controversial but I'm so past that BS... thank you so much for sharing your experience I really really liked the idea of pacing and had never heard of that before..... and now I've got a couple more supplements to add to my 30 plus that I'm already taking LOL I really hope that they do something about these things before the end of our lifetimes.... if your government is anything like the USA they usually wait until most people have passed away from whatever it is or whatever so called "conspiracy theory" is going around and only then they will bring it up..... unfortunately according to even the Pfizer papers and what they have found this will go on for Generations. But don't lose hope whether it's from the illness or the vaccine the fact of the matter is this was not a natural virus... one of the biggest things that's helped me is just being plain old stubborn and refusing to let the system beat me..... the difficult thing is for the rest of my life I will not know what is naturally been caused by life and my body and what has been caused by the poison. Thank you so much again sorry so long LOL I get feisty when it comes to this stuff LOL my prayers for anybody and everybody that is listening to this

I completely understand how frustrating and disheartening it can feel when healthcare professionals don’t seem to understand or take ME/CFS seriously, leaving you feeling isolated and unheard. Please know you’re not alone; the ME/CFS community is filled with people who truly understand your experiences, and advocates are working tirelessly to raise awareness, improve research, and educate doctors. Change is slow, but progress is happening, and until then, focusing on small ways to care for yourself and connecting with supportive communities can be a powerful source of strength. Your experiences are valid, and there are people who believe in you and are fighting for better understanding and care.

Juggling this illness and working can be tricky. If possible work from home, I found the general noise and busy environment of an office very draining even though the job I was doing was super simple.
