However I know to my detriment that you cannot list all that is wrong and pump the body full of nutrients to heal the symptoms. The ME body cannot cope with that amount of bombardment. This is why I found that changing my diet, reducing my work drastically, resting and introducing the omega oils was the start of me feeling better. Then came ginseng, later Vit C and then calcium and magnesium and zinc.
I think that we MEers are like burnt out car engines which need replacing. The body work is good, but the engine is useless. Repairs can be made but it may never run as smoothly again.
My initial query for research was endorphins – the body’s natural pain killers.
I am lacking in energy and I can’t do exercise to create them.
I am in pain and I want them!
Where do they come from?
How are they made before they are released through exercise?
I have plotted my inflammed muscle aches to eating foods I have been diagnosed as being allergic to. Especially yeasts and sugars.
I am a ME sufferer and it seems to me that the common denominator in most people’s ‘cures’ for ME/CFS is to do with the gut.
My thoughts are that practitioners with cures all seem to be addressing a symptom and not the cause. So if one is being told that the gut is unhealthy one has to ask: Why?
