Hi all.I just wanted to share something with you. Many of you will have already tried, or at least been aware of this already.One of the most awful underlying symptoms of our condition for me has been that awful tired, lack lustre feeling. A general feeling of not being right, not feeling as i...

Ive been loking for sometime for an alternative to the branded sports drinks to boost my intake of electrolytes and to boost hydration.Just found Coconut water at Holland & Barrats.

Hello all. Just wondered if anybody had tried taking olive leaf extract to help with BFS ? I used it as part of a regimen to treat a yeast infection. It worked incredibly well, but i did suffer some herx / die off symptoms.Dave.

Hi all.i am a relatively new member on this forum and i run the risk of appearing quite needy, for which i apologise in advance.I'll try and keep it short. On Wednesday last (11 / 01 ), i had an appointment with a consultant neurologist who gave me an examination.At the begining of the...

Hi everyone.I have to say i Dont think i can remember ever feeling as i do since ive potentially had BFS.Im getting what i can only describe as a cyclical anxiety, defined by periods of time when i get by, followed by times when i feel absolutely helpless and utterly doomed by a symptom or rogue...
