Does any one sufer from chronic fatigue or post viral syndrome?

if so how long have you had it, and what do you find helps.

Hi, I had chronic fatigue syndrome for about three years, it can be nasty at times but it does go away. Fortunately I am back to full health now, and you will find you will appreciate life so much more when it's over I promise.

First of all make sure you are getting plenty of quality sleep each night, and try to lead a stress-free life. Avoid caffeine and try to keep alcohol to a minimum as well. Obviously it is good to eat healthily, but don't feel like you can't eat your favourite foods, just everything in moderation. ie. don't go crazy on junk food, and eat lots of fruit and vegetables.

When you suffer from chronic fatigue your immune system is low, so you will be susceptible to illnesses such as colds, especially in the winter. So try to keep up your immune system with echinacea and vitamin c, and not eating too much sugar.

Something else I have found helpful are Kinohimitsu foot pads, put them on you feet at night and when you wake up they have turned black because of all the toxins they draw out!

Most of all you need to find what works best for you and stick to it, join an online CFS support forum, and just know that you will be better soon.

Good luck with your journey to recovery, please visit http://www.chronicfatigueadvice.com for more free advice and support.

Mike P, Kinohimitsu foot pads look indeed useful as I went through its information on the websites. I think I will also order it for myself and check it. As I also suffered from CFS for 3 and a half years. I recently did "Lightning Process" and I found it very useful as they've trained many cfs, fibromyalgia,PVS and M.E. We know no medication helps us at all but we have to fight it ourselves. I think I will try the pads on top of the lightning process. Ofcourse proper food and mind over matter also contribute.
I am very happy that you recovered from it with your efforts.
