Re: Posting files and looking for exhaustion relief

[Guest guest]

,

You won't find a file on the group for natural remedies and there

won't be one either. The reason is everyone is different and what

works for one may not work for another. Some people have had severe

reactions to some natural products that have suggested here. I have

already been accused of promoting or advertising different types of

products just because I posted the information. This has never been

the case. None of the information that I post is etched in stone,

take it for what it is worth. Some, thinking that I have researched

or am using try the " medication " and got very sick.

I will not be held responsible if someone has a reaction to a

medication, natural or otherwise, that they found in a folder on

Sickbuildings.

I am not just saying this to you directly, this is to everyone.

Hi ,

I have a similar problem to yours. Partly due to exposure to

mycotoxins, partly due to ageing, my mental and physical strenght have

declined with years. When I'm under the influence of mycotoxins I

suffer from the usual disorientation, mental confusion, bad memory,

fatigue, nausea, urge to vomit etc.

For the past 5-6 years I've also suffered from the " afternoon

sleepiness " . It's not your usual afternoon nap, rather it's a 3-4 hour

nightmare marathon - resulting in that half of my day is lost.

I searched the net a lot about this, and stumbled across the Coenzyme

Q10. I bought it last week, so it's early to report any final results,

but I can say it really did help with the afternoon sleepiness. Now I

don't have to sleep in the afternoon at all! I don't know if it's

placebo, or if it's due to something entirely different (such as

change in diet or weather changes), but it's quite noticeable. it

wasn't cheap (about $20 for 30 tablets). The label doesn't mention any

adverse effects, but I suspect it causes me constipation. Not sure yet

whether that's related or not. Will report after 30 days.

You might give it a try. I've tried pretty much everything (ginseng,

ginko, all vitamins etc.) nothing helped as this. However I haven't

tried NAC.

Hi , I know how you feel; I spend most of my days in bed, too

tired to do anything. I do have to say though, I have found a product

that helps w/the fatigue(I ran out & boy can I tell!). Check out

CoQ10, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Acetyl L-Carnitine product @ Vitacost.com

Read the description: antioxident, enhanced energy production &

cognitive function!! If you try it, hope it works for you! Wishing

you better days ahead!

Hugs, Cheryl

I too thought part of my " sleepyness " was partly due to aging along

with the mold. Now that my 90 year old mother is in assit care living,

I visit and I see all of these really old people getting up early and

going all day long to various activities. They have more energy than

I!! In fact, my mom never napped until last year when she was dignosed

with diabeties that she did not develop until she was 89...she was

always very active. Heck, my mom was like a " live wire! " She would get

up very early and be wide awake and cook 3 meals a day. I can't

remember her ever napping during the day. She was out cleaning her 50

rental houses until she was around 70 and then she sold them. She said

they were to much for her but she was still a live wire...I think it

was more she was tired of cleaning houses...I don't blame her for

that!! She still canned and froze her own veggies from her garden

until she was around 82. She had polio when she was little and I know

had she not gotten " polo syndrome " when she was around 80, she would

still be walking and taking care of her home. I don't think it is

normal to get tired as we age....maybe slow down but not out and out

worn out to nothing as some of us are!
