Brain and nerves

?hi everyone hope you're all feeling well or as well as you can be.  Im still waiting to be diagnosed. Waiting on an appointment with the specialist.  But for the last 2 weeks I've been feeling quite normal.  Sleeping well not as tired and energy levels were much better.  Still a few pains in legs ankles and elbows but not as harsh. The last week I have had a sore itchy throat and very itchy ears. Driving me nuts!  My back has had shooting pains o thought it was my kidneys at first but hubby said the pain was too low to be the kidney.  Woke up this morning feeling yuk no energy.  I have made another appointment with the doc just to make sure its not my kidneys.  Is this normal to feel ok for so long then crappy again? Xx

Hi Sam, so interesting. 11 months to my CFS been researching it like crazy and the best explanation i have found is that CFS is mainly a kidney/adrenal deficiency syndrome. As many people have said to me' you have burnt yourself out.'

In Chinese medicine the kidneys is where we store 'jing' or life force. Certain people are born with low jing and run low much quikcer in life than others, some people like me were probably born with lots of jing but due to extreme exercise regimens and chronic stress we abuse it and deplete it unaturally.

Thanks for your reply david ill look up that book thank you.  Ive just come back from drs who said I have lots of white blood cells on my urine so would suggest I have a water infection.  They are going to send it off tp the lab to look further though. Might explain my relapse x

Hi David

Great explanation!

I hope you are feeling better than you were a few weeks back?!

Hopefully you're just coming through a period of bad health naturally, and will continue to improve. If you've not been ill for long then this does seem to happen to some people.

Hi Sunshine, yes i have been feeling better the past few weeks. I'm not shouting about anything justvyet though but you can be sure if i recover you lot will be among the first to know. The signs have been encouraging for me lately.

Also i've been on this forum about 9 months, before i got CFS i thought i was relatively rare, but in fact it seems epidemic, the more people i talk to the more i find out 'oh my brothers sister has ME' etc it's been really eye opening to say the least.

Hi  David

Totally agree the amount of stress was off the scale for me too when I finally was tipped over the edge.

The strange thing is that back in 2003 long before I was diagnosed/labelled

with M.E... I bought a book in Barnes and Noble(North Carolina) called...

The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook by Edmund Bourne.....I had been diagnosed with Chronic Anxiety because my Adrenaline was running non stop!... In this book was a section on Adrenal Fatigue, it described my condition at that time and I took it to my GP who wouldn't even look at it!!

There would be many attempts over the years to try and persuade various GPs for some help and unfortunately I was unsuccesful  and infact spent a lot of years with no medical help at all...so then looked for private help in 2011!!!

I am treated medically and pay private, and there has been improvement, and I will carry on searching for answers just like you

Yeah GP's only look for really serious diseases, they really have no interest in optimal health or sub optimal health. CFS folks like us are just labelled as such, ALOT of gp's i bet feel it's all in our head, which is one of the worst aspects of this illness. We KNOW 1000% it's not. What sorts of things are you doing privately ? PM me.
