Hi

I have been stalked by fatique (CFS/ME) for about 20 years.
I have tried almost everything you can think of!

I would love to hear from anyone else who has tried LOTS OF THINGS, and
who has finally found something that has ACTUALLY WORKED!

More to my background

Symptoms
- Fatique - mainly mental fatique. Physically I am fairly fit -I
bicycle about 30+30 minutes per day. I am 45, male, 6ft and about 12
stone. I *look* reasonably healthy. I very seldom get any passing
diseases like 'flu. But I spend much of my time feeling exhausted, with
poor memory. I have an irritable bowel (fowl smelling and frequently
somewhat soft)
I suspect candida and have tried (and am recently retrying again)
various anti-fungal herbs etc.
The strange thing is that in the medium term absolutely *nothing* seems
to make any difference whatso ever way.

Over the years I have tried homeopathy (about 5 different
practitioners), and all sorts of "weird" stuff. In desperation I have
even tried counselling and psychotherapy.

- Medics cant find ANYTHING clinically wrong with me.

An alt med practitioner diagnosed reactive hypoglycemia - and certainly
eating slow-burn carbohydrates has significantly helped me. He also
gave me various thyroid support things but that didnt seem to make ANY
difference.

And still I feel fatigue.

I also have fungus in the feet, groin and sometimes on my chest and
back that keeps recurring. I got my GP to give me some anti fungal
pills. I also have medium sized "floaters" in my eyes (a sign of
Candida, no?). And have Central Serous Retinopathy. But although it has
reduced the fungal discolouring in my toenails even after 3 months I
still feel FATIGUED.

About 15 years ago I thought it was all down to food sensitivities and
experimented extensively on exclusion diets. However this didnt help. I
gave up wheat, dairy, alchol, caffeine, etc for many months. In the
short run it certainly made a slight difference, but in the longer run
all I can honestly say the it almost certainly made me MUCH WORSE.

Now in a fit of dispare I am trying multiple, high dose, anti-fungal
herbs ALL AT ONCE! I have been on the following for about 1 week now.
(with meals)
- Garlic - "max strength" x2/day
- Milk Thistle - 175mg x3/day - from Good 'n Natural
- Coenzyme Q10 - 60mg x 3/day - from Holland & Barrett
- Dida - various herbs x3/day - from New Nordic
(incl Thyme, Caramon,oregano etc)
- Pau d'Arco - 1000mg x3/day - from Good n Natural
- Capryllic Acid - 350mg x3/day from Holland & Barrett
- Aloe Vera tablets (Aloe Barbadensis Miller) - Pills of 100mg,
equivalent to 20ml of fresh Aloe Vera } x3 per day. - from Holland &
Barrett

I am also taking:
- a large teaspoon of Psyllium (sp) powder in 2 glasses of water last
thing & first thing in the morning.
- And I am eating 2 liquorish root pills about 3 times/day
before meals, when I remember.

I am aware that some of these doses are rather irresponsibly high and I
was hoping all this would have at least SOME effect, but no. Nothing.
NO EFFECT either way!

So... maybe I dont have Candida after all??

==> Any thoughts?!

I particularly would like to hear from anyone who has
cured ME/CFS with some "miracle" cure HAVING TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE.

With thanks
