Greetings to All :~)

My name is Jillian I am a 26 years young mother of three beautiful

girls... About 5 years ago I was diagnosed with having " Chronic

Fatigue Syndrome " . Since around the age of 12-13ish I had experienced

a wide range of symptoms though was never diagnosed with anything

specific until I hit 21 years of age. I have had a few new symptoms

arise within the years though between the severe fatigue, depression,

inability to sleep and unexplained pain I can psychologically manage

any symptom that comes my way at this point. With having kiddos it

indeed makes times more challenging at the same time it makes life

worth living and getting down to the bottom of my cause. I believe a

lot of syndromes/illness/disease are environmental the hardest part

is pin pointing the exact cause vs. masking the symptoms with

medications that in the long run cause side effects and never

actually get to the root.

At this point I have seen my fair share of doctors that want to put

me on all sorts of medications and not that I am stubborn again we go

back to not reaching the cause and instead momentarily covering up

the symptom without dealing with what actually brought the specific

symptom on in the first place. Trust me it is very hard some days I

do not even know how I manage to get out of bed, I know one day there

will be more defined test/explanations that will be available for all

without having to spend large sums of money in order to get by for a

week or two but to actually get by daily.

I have found a few things that work for me and I would like to share

them with you all. I have a friend who is also a doctor who is into

holistic medicine etc. She actually bought a machine ion cleanse

detox foot bath for around $3,000 dollars, very pricey, though the

benefits that I myself see from it are amazing. I go to her a few

times a week and I notice the depression I tend to suffer from, the

pain as well as fatigue is slowly diminishing. I understand the

skeptics, I was eery myself but it helps eliminate toxins from the

body and toxins are one of the primary causes of degenerative

diseases in people today like Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis,

Kidney Problems, Autism and Muscular Dystrophy so on and so

forth...Do some research and check it out. There are a lot of scams

out there so be careful who you choose to go to or if you order one,

I can find out who my friend ordered hers from :~)

Some other things that help me with CFS are Ginseng, chelation and

homeopathy. With Fibromyalgia a exact cause cannot be ascertained,

completely. I have heard from a friend who suffers to try a magnetic

mattress pad as well as a full body detox cleanse (the ion cleanse

works well as a detox as well, a liver, candida, and heavy metal

cleanse as well) and crocodile protein peptide (lol never tried it

but he swears by it) For pain and inflammation, drink atleast 10

glasses of H2O a day, sunshine and walking...Everyone is different

you just gotta find what works best for you

Got to go though I enjoy feedback and advice as well.

Have a beautiful day
