I have been suffering w/ CFS for 14 years and it has gotten much worse over the last two years.
I had my appt. with Dr. Bonilla at Stanford yesterday. I have read "iffy" reviews about him, but I was actually pleased with my appt. I felt he was very thorough and answered my questions. He went through all of my labs and ordered an additional ~12 tests to do.
I have been on this forum for a while reading posts. I know a majority of people are taking anti-virals and other medications to help.
I am curious if anyone has felt better without taking meds? Has anyone just gotten better by taking several supplements and changing their diet? (ie: zinc, CoQ10, L-carnitine, L-Lysine, 1 a day vitamins, etc).
Speaking of diet, Dr. Bonilla suggested I start the Mediterranean Diet. I basically do that already. I eat GF, and mostly dairy free. I eat primarily meats, fruits and veggies. I have also read that the AIP diet helps with CFS and inflammation. I have read about Paleo. I have read about Keto. I have no idea what the best route to go is re: diet.
