My fatigue started after a viral syndrome type illness approx. 14 years ago. I haven't been the same since.

Hi,

I suffered a similar fate. After having flu-like symtoms 15 years ago, my life changed forever. The doctors are clueless but every once in awhile, I search the Internet for clues. I wonder if taking ginseng or licorice will help. Have you tried them?

Thank you for listening!
