cfs/was: diziness and balance problems

[Guest guest]

Hi Cathy,

I am long term CFS'er.. Probably about 20 years or even more.i diagnosed myself

by symptoms at about 15 years after the start. i also took saliva test and my

naturopath told me that this was cfs looking at the saliva test results. Low

grade fever and sore throat occur at initial stages when cortisol is high. I am

still not sure if CFS is adrenal fatigue or not. Val said me once she thinks it

is. My naturopath also says so.I am still not so sure as I hear from some

adrenal fatigued persons that they do not have immune system problems and I also

met couple of persons who developed adrenal fatigue due to extreme stress and

than improved without taking any adrenal support by only rest and sleeping. They

were able to rest and sleep which I could never accomplish whole my life.I was

always in run run run mode.Immune system problems turned my life into a disaster

for at least 10 years so they are very very important part of the illness. It is

my opinion that various stressors may precipitate cfs. some may also have

genetic tendency.There is a yahoo group called cfsfmexperimental which you might

be interested in.

best wishes.

Nil-

I think I have CFS too.

I get a low grade fever every night, and sore throat once in a while

too. I've been trying to do some reading about it, but don't have

much energy. What confirmed your CFS?

I learned that my adrenals, pituitary and thyroid are all 'burnt

out' 'low'. Isn't CFS basically multiple systems struggling resulting

in low low energy? Sometimes can't it be related to a virus?

Any ideas on what viruses to check for?

Thanks for any help, e mail me privatly if you'd like

balance problems. This was something I experienced years ago when my

CFS first started about 17 years ago. Lately I had been stress dosing

because of the flu and I also added licorice to my regimen. I am

wondering why these early CFS symptoms came back. Are these high

cortisol symptoms? I wondered if I am overdosing?Do you have any idea

on what might have changed for me to bring back these early symptoms?
