Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
I developed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) 8 years ago after a serious infection of glandular fever. CFS for me was terribly debilitating. I felt ok if I got at least 8hrs sleep per night, did not do any strenuous exercise, did not have even moderate levels of stress and eat a healthy diet. Until recently if I had 6 or less hours sleep in a night I would be exhausted for up to a week after despite getting lots of sleep. For about 5 years I would have weeks and months at a time when I could do little more than get out of bed. When I was at my worst, walking to the kitchen was a monumentous effort that required mental preparation and once I got there, I needed to sit or even lie down. I would not call myself unhealthy. I have always eaten healthy food and was fit, cycling and playing numerous sports.
I quickly realised that just resting was not enough to get better. In the first 4 years I tried numerous treatments including seeing the following specialists: environmental allergen specialist, naturopath, homeopath, neuro-muscular-skeletal medicine specialist, and even a spiritual healer. All of these people found things wrong with me: I had a number of allergies, I had some vitamin imbalances, I had a spinal misalignment, and some spiritual baggage. I definitely noticed some improvement from all these treatments but I was still highly susceptible to CFS. I learnt to live with it. I knew if I pushed myself too hard I would get CFS and have to rest for at least a week to get back on track.
I have been taking glyconutrient supplements for approximately 5 months now. The first thing I noticed after the detox period (about 7 days for me) was that I felt well. I could feel more energy sitting still. This is despite the fact that I was taking on too much work, I suspected I would get CFS and not be able to fulfil my requirements and that I might even get a virus. With all this going on, I didn't feel great, but I didn't get CFS and I didn't get a virus. After taking glyconutrients for about 3 months I realised how good I was feeling and that I had not had CFS or a virus for longer than I had for the previous 7 years. Since then I have finished my masters thesis, started a business, my first child has been born and I still have not had CFS or a virus. I have started cycling again. I have been expecting to push myself too far and get sick again, but so far I haven't.
I now realise what had happened to my body, the damage glandular fever and environmental toxins had done, highlighted by the numerous ailments identified by the specialists, and how getting the essential glyconutrients has allowed my body to repair itself. I am now able to take control of my life again, rather than merely being a passenger.
