I have fibro and cfs. I was actually doing ok for several years. Then I had 2 upper esp infection and then had emergency surgery for gangrenous gallbladder. My immune system has taken a beating from all this. I have terrible fatigue, bigtime fibro flare, and headaches. The uri's happened last fall before surgery. started in Sept 2011 and surgery was Nov 29th 2011. I expected it would take awhile to heal. I am having severe attacks of fatigue after doing something. I am napping and sleeping 10 hrs at night. Is there relief in sight? My Dr said there is nothing she can do. I am eating as healthy as I can. I drink lot's of water and take vitamins.

Hello Ling001,

I've been there. I was sick about 6 years ago and had all the troubles you explained and more. Doctors couldn't find anything wrong with me. They weren't doing the right tests. I'll spare the details and just get to the solution. If you are on the east coast, contact Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker in Pocomoke City, MD. If you are in the Southwest, contact Dr. Michael Gray in Benson, AZ (outside Tucson, AZ) These are two of the most highly qualified doctors who know what to look for, how to diagnose and treat people with chronic fatigue. I have seen both of these doctors and am happy to say that I am on my way to full recovery.

If you are unable to see either of these doctors, ask your own doctors about levels of VEGF, TGF beta 1, MSH, C4A.
[br> I hope it is of use to you and that you too get on the road to full recovery.

Take care and keep in touch.

Warm regards,

Sergio
