OK, what are OUR realities?

Do you think the following play a role in YOUR illness:

INFECTIONS? (Testing done - yes/no)

IMMUNE SYSTEM DYSFUNCTION? (State type - over active (autoimmune) or weak)

TOXICITY? (State what to)

DEEP ROOTED STRESS/CHILDHOOD TRAUMA? (As little or much detail as you're

comfortable with, yes or no is fine)

Dear ,

Here are my answers:

Infections: Yes, HHV6, CMV, Epstein Bar virus and others.

Immune system dysfunctions: Yes, both and weak and over active. Get colds very

quickly, and have autoimmune response when I am over tired. That leads to sinus

infections during warm weather or at worse bronchitis or pneumonia during the

winter.

Toxicity: Allergies to many things, and a new allergy to milk that came on after

being treated homeopathically.

Deep Rooted Stress/Childhood Trauma: Yes, abuse by my schizophrenic mother until

the age of 16 when I was allowed legally to leave her. Post Traumatic Stress

Disorder for 40 years until I treated it with neurofeedback for 3 years. Most

CFS brain symptoms left as well as my brain became more healthy.

I hope that lot more people on this list answer these simple questions. I see

that at least some of us had childhood trauma which made our immune system

weaker to begin with. I would like to know what is the percentage at least on

this list and what is the percentage among CFS patients in general. Does anybody

know the answer to that?
