I would like to say hello to everyone here because I am new.
I've been struggling with CFS symptoms for few years. It all started 8 years ago with severe insomnia, depression, brain fog, that from that time is always with me. Year by year my fatigue level, my brain fog and many other symptoms (like POTS) got worse. Right now I need to lay in bed for few hours a day to have some energy to do simple things.
I don't know how can I stop this downward spiral, I am scared, because if things are going to progress like this I will end up bedridden, and eventually dead.
I suspect few things that lead me to the place I am now:
*I have huge problems with sleep, suspecting UARS, but since I couldn't sleep in a sleep study it is still undiagnosed. I have mandibular advancement device and CPAP machine, MAD doesn't help at all and I am not able to sleep with CPAP. Additionally I often suffer from insomnia and fragmented sleep. Always exhausted in the morning.
*Nutritional deficiencies
*Toxins in my body
*Cavitations from extracted teeth (2 for orthodontic reasons, something that caused my UARS, one because it was root-canal)
*Chiropractic misalignment, TMJ, small scoliosis
*Loads of stress in the previous years of my life (including toxic family when I was a child)
I would like to ask, whether you have such situation that disease progresses so quickly, is this going to lead me to death? I am 24 only and have so severe level of exhaustion that all my family and friends don't believe me. They don't think I am lazy, because I am really trying hard to manage many things, but I am not able anymore. I am going to adress issuses I mentioned above, but so far nothing works (healthy diet, supplements, more sleep and bed rest). I am glad I found this forum, I hope to find help and good advices in here.
PS. I am sorry for my english, it is not my first language, I am from Europe.
