Hi everyone,
It's been almost a week since i've been diagnosticated.. I do feel horrible,something is really bad with my health..but i start to think the doctor that give me the diagnostic was a fraud..i pay him so much money and frankly i don't understand his explanations..i start to think he just wanted to get rid of me...I explain to him al my symptoms weakness,fatigue ,muscle twitches ,bad sleep etc..wich are caracteristic..but i also tell him that i don t have PEM..there is no evident worsening of my symtomps after exortion..i feel bad like i feel everyday..another curios fact was that my Basal metabolic rate was very high..wich is not a good thing ,but is not very CFs specific,quite the contrary..Another point and probably the one that give me the msot to think is the CPEt test...my vo2 max was 31,7..very low for my age( should be above 40 ) ,but not that low..and i didint reach my max heart rate ,and the vo2 was in continous increasing wich means that was not my vo2 max ..i just could not reach it that day..My Lactic threshold, anaerobic threshold..was at 164 HR at a VO2 of 26 ml/kg/min wich is not bad i think..After i told him all my symptoms wich are indeed caracterisc to cfs and with the low vo2 max he concluded that i have cfs.HE say that in mild cases Pem is not mandatory,is that true??,,and what about the anaerobic /lactate threshold result wich should be much lower..I Really hate doctors..is so hard to find one that actually knows what are they doing or cares..
