This will be my last post and hopefully (without sounding mean) last visit here. I want to say a big thank you to PR for the wealth of knowledge and support it provides us, I have now almost totally recovered and have identified root cause and treatments with high effectiveness.
My ME was a slow onset that really come to peak in 2012, although i had sporadic energy crashes back to 1999. Alcohol abuse being my CFS trigger. But in 2012 also continual CFS pressure on body seemed to bring adrenals also to halt, this brings all the crazy symptoms.....feeling of impending doom,,,racing HR,,,unable to hold conversation ,,,lobido loss,,,unstoppable emotions,,,,mad hormonal stuff. This HPA nightmare takes CFS to a new level. Now my adrenals seem 100% fine but took many years to get them back...
Certainly toxin exposure and chemical abuse sends the body into a protection mode, its no wonder so many Gulf veterans come down with it. I realised that carbs are a total no-no when CDR (cell defence response) is turned on,,,I call it carb dumping,,,,its the mother of all crashes when CDR is on and you starting pumping in glucose,,,,,body just becomes a metabolic waste dumping ground...heavy brain fog, lactic legs,,,.pretty sure the researchers will find out the carb part of krebs is totally dynsfuctional in CDR,,,PDH enzyme,,,,COA,,,etc,
I think a keto diet doesn't get the results as certainly CFS brings about major HPA issues, until they are resolved then keto i would think would be pretty fruitless.
ALA is the best supplement i ever used,,,,its a total mopper up of all things metabolically toxic. I can gauge it by hand numbness whether i need more or less. It brings HR down during exercise unbelievably well which obviously improves aerobic thresholds by some margins. HR under exercise always a good measure of our CFS ability.For men also, high doses of glutamine is an excellent power replacement in crashes.
So, I not sure what to make of that, but in lay terms i just assume that our blood is so full of metabolic toxin from almost non existent carb burn into krebs, that ALA is quite effective to remove this hazardous waste.
I pretty much eat normal now, as my trigger is removed and krebs cycle resumes normal function, but in event of a backslide, CFS symptoms do return, maybe it will be like this for rest of my days,,,I'm not sure.
So, yes CFS is recoverable, I count myself lucky as my trigger is avoidable, for viral onsets PWME I hope they can find a way out for you soon.
I truly wish everyone the best for their future and keep the faith for the great progress made in research in the past few months,
I will reply any questions to the thread, or email me gregh286@hotmail.com
Warm regards.
