Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - CFS

My wife has had chronic health problems for more than 20 years, including a case of CFS which went undiagnosed for years. The link I am including is a site that does a good job of explaining things and also sells products based on research. A part of their profits goes into further research.

The most important thing to know is that no two people are alike and this means, for example, that some of the products they sell work for my wife and others do not. But we have systematically tried the majority of these things to see how they can help.

One of the nice things about this site is that it contains articles from doctors on studies they have done on the treatments they propose. Based on who they tried to help (i.e. what their major symptoms were) and how well it worked, my wife and I have made the decisions on what thing(s) to spend money on.

You have to get the mindset that, for now, this is a long-term problem to deal with, but it is also something that you can come to grips with in a relatively short amount of time. The purpose of this post is to give a little hope to someone who is discouraged.

The ProHealth site can help because:
  • It is a hub of activity related to symptomatic relief. 
  • It contains a built-in support group.
  • It can put you in contact with more resources.
  • You can do your own research and get started on reducing the effect of symptoms on your life.

And, no, I make no money from this referral. This is about service to others.
