Sick and Tired of Chronic Fatigue

I never was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) even though I had all the symptoms. What happened to me was a side effect of a chemical injury. The chemical injury left me with a condition of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) a chronic illness I still have to manage today. Since I wanted to know more about what was happening to me I started the Chemical Injury Relief Foundation.

In my research I discovered that persons with MCS also had many of the symptoms of Fibromyalgia and CFS. On the downside I still get unexplained waves of fatigue and brain fog usually after an unexpected exposure to chemicals but I must also admit that for the most part I now don't usually have the symptoms of CFS anymore.

My experience has taught me that CFS at least can be managed enough to live a better quality of life. At best it is possible to cure most or all the symptoms. Since every person is different in their ability to heal, some remedies may work better than others or not at all. Even in the practice of medicine there are no guarantees, only experience in trial and avoidance of error.

Recently, I've come across a few hard to find books only available on the internet as ebooks. I'm sure you've seen plenty of hype on sales pages and these are no exceptions. However, the purpose of this blog is to get feedback from readers who have actually tried some of the suggestions and are willing to share their findings here with others. This way we don't get the author filtering out challenging reports.

If you're into free and like to read there's a link at the top this blog. Alternatively, if you're actively testing ways to get rid of CFS then get the book and post your book report as a comment here. Here is my first recommendation to start this blog off.

CFS Definition

In order to receive a diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome, a patient must satisfy two criteria:

1) Have severe chronic fatigue of six months or longer duration with other known medical conditions excluded by clinical diagnosis; and

2) concurrently have four or more of the following symptoms: substantial impairment in short-term memory or concentration; sore throat; tender lymph nodes; muscle pain; multi-joint pain without swelling or redness; headaches of a new type, pattern or severity; unrefreshing sleep; and post-exertional malaise lasting more than 24 hours. The symptoms must have persisted or recurred during six or more consecutive months of illness and must not have predated the fatigue.
