I understand your frustrations Justy, CFS is unfair. When you have kids with something like CFS that makes it even more difficult, you have them to worry about aswell. I know my advice is very difficult, and i understand your point of view entirely. One thing i would like to say is in regards to your point on carbs. If you're a mother with CFS and worrying about kids, you need more calories(carbs) than anyone else. If you're sub 2k calories a day and you're under so much stress that is going to hinder you ability to handle stress, let alone recovery. I would just like to mention that most of my calories come from carbs (bananas, potatoes, sweet potatoes etc). I also don't eat meat. I put aside my beliefs at one point which was very difficult for me and had a few weeks of eating meat. My body didn't react negatively however I didn't feel i was getting anything I was missing from it.
I'm sorry if I've made out that you're at fault. Of course your not. there are people out there that eat nothing but shit, get hammered at the weekend and still feel better than us. I suffered cystic acne for many years whilst eating a far healthier diet than any of my friends.. yet they had perfect skin. It's unfair but suffering for so many years I've had no choice but to do what I've done. I didn't want to live anymore, so living this way is easier in comparison to the severe depression i've previously felt.
P.s. I would recommend anyone to see a chiropractor to be check over for muscle knots, tense muscles etc. Even if it's for one appointment. I think that's something that would be helpful and is possible under your circumstances?
