  • like most of us being able to get out an be mobile was a luxury n having a cuppa out was special . well actually just getting out of house being able to walk outsid e  was pretty special.

  • I remeber when i had months of severe cfs it did affect my voice by making me slur so when id go to ask for a cuppa when out my voice was slurry n slow eyes dozing they must thought i was on drugs i had to repeat what i asked for an couldnt remeber what i had said .but yea the voice became like a disabled person inability to get words out . it did cause communication issues an i was spokern to rudely because they thought i was rude but it was just my illness

  • Hi ves lauder.. 

    The voice issues are this.. croaky raspy voice, tightness in throat, feels like a lump is in my throat I can't swallow. Some of this is grief and anxiety but surely not all. I feel this way because I'm so fatigued pretty much all of the time... It's making everyday conversations to anyone so very difficult and causing me a lot of frustration!

    The symptoms are so vague I realise.. but constant and I wonder if anyone else experiences this coinciding with chronic fatigue?...

  • Hi soulsparkled can u explain the voice issues

  • Hi there,

    I've suffered from this in the past and from time to time it's crept up on me.

    At the moment I'm concerned it's coming back and I'll have to get a run of blood test's to check and see.. the main concern other than fatigue is vocals.. 

    Hi again,

    I'm wondering if anyone suffers with voice issues, I think I've silent reflux.. which is affecting my voice.

    I can't really figure out what else it is but it's been enduring for the most part of a whole year, daily.

    I'm hoping that this lifestyle of healthy food will shift the issue whatever it is.. a course of antibiotics did nothing at all and I'm not quite ready to have medication or camera's shoved down my throat!

    Any advice would be appreciated.. 

    Love to you people and complete empathy for those who suffer or have suffered CFS!

  • awsome Rayla  ,yes its great to be able to walk further my cfs has improved  ,feel like i can get more out of life

  • Hi again Skylar Em

    At the moment I am doing the theoretical part only. I find it so hard to concentrate and think! I hope I can do that...

    My improvements are there, but very slow, you are right, one day at a time. I don´t think we can compare ourselves with other people. CFS is such a deep disease.

    Thanks for your response too :-)

  • Hi Skypar Em,

    I know how it feels to have to go back to bed in the morning already...

    Well, I can only encourage you to go on with this lifestyle. I have started the 811 in january, not 100%, maybe around 85%. Now I start to feel a bit better. I used to go to bed at night at 8:30 PM completely exhausted, unable to read, and sleep. It´s been a few weeks that I can read in bed and I am not so exhausted in the evening. Also, I feel strong enough now to take driving lessons, imposible before!

    I feel my head is a bit clearer and my body cleaner. I feel I am more attractive and less intoxicated.

    However, still exhausted most of the time and have to rest several times in the morning, and several times in the afternoon. But I am still a bit more energetic.

    I wish you good luck

  • I am now 30 days 80/10/10. My energy has increased and I am now walking around the entire block TWICE!!! That's pretty amazing being as when I started I was afraid to even cross the street for fear I'd not make it back ! WOO HOO !

  • CF Update.........

    I'm 2 weeks in and the last 2 days I had energy. For those with CF you know what a big deal that is!

    It's not a burst of energy... just a calm feeling of energy with a desire to move. How SWEET ! I felt it coming on for a couple of days... I kept feeling like "OH! I want to walk!"... but I'd head out and only make it  across the parking lot and know I'd better get back inside. Then a couple of days ago I started out and felt like I still had energy ! So I made it all the way around the apartments ! That's a big deal for me. And yesterday I walked it TWICE! WOW ! So I have high hopes for this way of eating to cure CF !

I've had CFS for several years and would find it hugely motivating to hear how other CFS sufferers have got on with this lifestlye.I've had good days and bad days since starting. Is it normal to feel worse before feeling better?If you have seen positive results or have recovered from CFS since being HCRV please post below. It would be great to hear from you.many thankskaren

Overcoming institutionalization.

Some times feels like I'm permanently tired unable to forget the past and move on.Pretty difficult being the only vegan communist in a family  that caused my negative thought patterns that lead to schizophrenia and being sectioned, heavily medicated and left to live in fear when all I needed was love.Can any body recommend any therapists or recovery clinics in Totnes area or else where on the planet (taking in account of my  low amount of money) and any nutritional boosters I could use to stay…

Thyroid Issues: To Take Iodine or Not?

This is long.. sorry..I suspect I have Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism, but have not been tested for it. I have severe fatigue, that's gotten better (much better) going all raw.  However, I still experience fatigue and feel tons and tons better when I take this supplement: http://www.amazon.com/NOW-Foods-Thyroid-Energy-Vcaps/dp/B0013OZCGE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335813861&sr=8-1I am not taking it currently, and do find my strength and energy to be lower.  And I'm struggling to take care of my two…
