what about dairy?
Dairy was not specifically restricted on that diet. I eat butter and cheese, grass fed mostly.

I wonder if we all in Chinese Medicine would be found to have "excess wind" energy.
...................
I also studied Tai Chi and spent time with a Master , Wu Method. I've directly experienced that energy, and one can send somebody across the room without touching them. Tai Chi is ultimately a healing protocol, and I wish I could have continued to learn those aspects, but "stuff happened". And I have too many spinal problems to effectively deploy it, another aspect of "this body not working right".
Tried Chinese Medine for a least a year and Western Herbal Medicine for several years.
You mentioned that your cognitive issues worsen over the course of the day. That reminded me of a patient with a spinal fluid leak as described in this video of a lecture at Stanford Medical School. Most people with spinal fluid leak have headache, but not all. He describes one person who had no headache but got increasingly confused over the course of the day. Very tall people, and people with connective tissue disorders are at higher risk.Severe mental Fatigue, which worsens gradually over the day.
Hi to all,
i was just wondering if some people here also experience more pure "CFS like" symptoms rather than "ME".
For me my 4 main symptoms are:
1. Severe mental Fatigue, which worsens gradually over the day. Normally when its afternoon or later i need to fight for staying conscious.
2. Brain Fog and problems with thinking, especially when fatigue is getting more severe over the day
3. Sleep Problems
4. Worsening of fatigue and PEM mainly after emotional or mental stress or hard cognitive work. Physical activity also causes PEM, but not in such extent
For me i feel like this is not "real ME", as i don't have Muscle weaknes, pain, flu like feeling, headaches or onset linked to a certain event.
My onset in 2011 was rather gradual over a timespan for at least 3 months, but i really can't specify more precise.
Anyone else with similar symptoms?
Thanks!
