I get spontaneous, quite random remissions. At first it was for an hour or two and those odd hours felt like the "eye of the storm". I couldn't trace it to anything I had done, not done, eaten, taken, or anything else.
Then the hours expanded into the odd day or two. Again no logical explanation.
It surprised me when that changed into a few days at a time. And I do mean a few days feeling just like my normal "old self".
The best was from the 7th July or thereabouts, when I had three whole weeks of feeling okay!
I relapsed every single time. This last relapse has been now for about 4-5 days or so. Again random, and I can't trace the trigger no matter what I do, even though I've kept detailed journals of what I've done physically, what's happened socially which may have been tiring, how I've slept, what I've eaten or drunk, and any herbal remedies.
But I will tell you that I am not anything like a severe case. I am functional. I can do things. I just feel rotten sometimes nevertheless. And I have only felt "unwell" for 5 months which doesn't technically qualify (I don't think?) for a definite CFS diagnosis. Plus there are many many diagnostic tests I have not yet had and may even take me years to arrange under our healthcare system.
By that time I am aware I will have got a bit of a reputation among my GP doctors, for being a "hypochondriac" ! LOL!
I have no psych. issues history (No anxiety/depression.OCD or anything) I don't have health anxiety etc....
The doc. of course says I check out 100% fine for everything, but I am waiting on a neurologist appointment next month for further investigation.
So it seems to me random remissions are happening to ME anyway. I take nothing much except Echinacea sometimes (and I have to be careful with that) I tried Astragalus root tea. I have tried strong doses of vitamin B complex and vitamin C. All those things appear to boost me, then either stop helping or I will have a relapse anyway in spite of them.
I find I have to be careful of the high dose vitamin B complex. It helps at first when a relapse is happening. Then I wonder if it's aggravating things. So I cut it to a lower "maintenance" dose which I always take anyway. But I think I am way off the mark with everything I try which I think is going to help. It is too random for that sort of logic.
Sorry for the long disjointed slightly rambling post, but to get back to the point, -yes I have times when I feel just fine! It feels like some sort of "bad magic" when the initial symptoms return eventually even though I believed I was better!
I wish there was just one treatment or supplement which would nuke this.
For me anyway.
