Yea 10 weeks in and breezing it.
12 hour days not.a problem. It's 1 hour commute each way.
Just back from 10 days trip round texas and NYC.
I use only b vit now.......mag Malate and dca.
Keep carbs low but eat frequently. Avoid food in am.....body over reacts
High flavonoids work very well.
Cfs for.me all about control body reaction and immune response.
For me CFS ebbed and flowed a lot...I had really good.and equally mega bad days.
I know cfs is knocking about cos my HR will jump post carbs.....then I go nil by month and tread carefully again.
I think upper gut dumps.substrate to lower colon and then boom.....lactate. very strange because fruit will not create the issue only carbs.....so something screwed in the conversion process.
I follow a regime now of 50% min flavanoid diet.
Morning all fruit with natural yoghurt. Lunch salad with fish. By evening immune response gets dampened so can bring in normal dinner. Hence we improve mostly by evening.
Other things I have learned after 7 years.
CFS seems to be immune response and creates massive inflammatory response both by histamine and other mediators.
Trigger in my case come from ingestion....can be made.worse.by fast eating and not chewing. Improves by eating easy digestible foods diet. Enzymes help but reluctanct to persue as trying to treat root.
The only probio that works for.me is GOL natural defense. They can reverse a crash.
When crash is on carbs are off. Like someone pulls the switch from carb breakdown bacteria.
Body very alert in morning. Evening it calms.
Less sleep works as immune system not in full power.
Sugar is death. Fruit is life.....not treated same in body.
Gluten provokes response...
Ibrufen lends a hand to dampen inflammatory response.
Ceterizine can aid dampen inflammatory signal.
Dca decent stuff.
Body always in high emergency mode......panic attacks trigger easily. Most likely as it ready on guard for more pathogens anytime. Burns out CNS and adrenals.
Protein shakes are superb food replacement and liquids rarely trigger reaction like solids do.
High doses of fresh lemon juice is super as is copious amount of oranges. Citrus work well.
CFS can only be totally defeated by addressing gut providing no other infection is present.
System does not like immuno suppressants....kickback is harder when they wear off.
System takes many months of digestive care to stabilise emergency mode to amber and allow mito to revert to a semi functional operation in a permanent fashion.
Food should be pureed if possible and eating mega slow. Omega 3 is good stuff as is most natural anti inflammatory. Gallic acid in green tea is good....if you can stomach green tea. Diet should remain alkaline as possible.
Antibiotics create havoc in microbiome and trigger for many a fall into cfs. Only soil based probio seems to effect myself positively. Most probios are total waste...number of organism not important....quality is.
Paleo seems to work for number of people likely as carb gut conversion to lactate reduced and body feel lighter in general but can have double edge effect when blood sugar drops.
Tiredness is tiredness.
CFS is power outage. Day and night difference.
My 2 cents.
