Zinc Picolinate is one of my main supplements today. I think the reason for the extra fatigue was the...

    I just love campfire's the crackle of the wood and the smell..the sounds of the nightlife. Lol what a big difference between campfire's and computers, if I have to choose well the computer + Internet of course.

    My story (short version)

    I am forever fighting, forever trying something else, forever reading, looking for new research, someone Else's story of recovery, a new supplement or something that helped someone else. It took me a long time just to except the cfs diagnosis. How can a "syndrome" make you feel worse than...
