[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 15687, member: 2315"] I too have been fighting CFS for several years. It is a delicate balance. If you do too much you will relapse if you do too little you get depressed and gain weight. Marg, I had gone to a Johns Hopkins doctor and he told me to add salt to my diet and drink alot of water. That was something that was comming out of the research they were doing back then maybe '96? It helped a little but probably because I was cronically dehydrated according to my heart specialist. The things that I found that always help me are a vitimin B complex that includes niacin, thyamine, B6 and B12 and a magnesium supplement. The magnesium should not be taken without your doctor's approval. I also meditate and try to get a half hour of fresh air daily. It took me about three years to get this under control. I was able to work full time after that but on the days I worked I couldn't do anything else. I would come home and go right to bed. My biggest problem is muscle aches. I feel like I have flu like aches in my large muscles pretty much on a daily basis. I also get alot of spasms. I was a very active person before I got this. I am not as active now. I lost a few of my younger friends because I just wasn't "as much fun". They just couldn't adjust to the fact that I was no longer a high energy person. I never gave them a second thought. I have a full life with many good friends. I have enough stamina for the things I really enjoy and that really matter. -RM [/QUOTE]
