Definitely if its DOMS and not an injury go for it. It will probably help

Welcome to the group Vicki. Im Lise, Im from the UK. I am 50lb down so far with another 50+ to go. Im mainly trying to do this through exercise and calorie counting but been a bit derailed of late. I suffer from depression, treatment resistant and have been struggling a bit. Trying a new combo and hoping it does the job,…

Good luck with figuring it out, everyone is here when you do

Thx Cari. Im awful at taking tablets I can just about remember to take my ablify and remeron at night. So will probably take the effexor in the morning when I get up and the remeron at night as I doubt Id remember a lunchtime dose. Means I remember to take my iron twice a day if i do that too - im meant to take it 2-3…

The mental health services in my area are shocking and I am not surprised they are not even bothering to let me go to an appointment sadly. The good thing I have heard about the combo im trying though is it sorts out your sleep patterns and is quite activating during the day so may do me a lot of favours in terms of the…

Im not really sure what to think tbh I *do* think CFS/ME does explain my symptoms pretty much spot on though its a PITA it cant be fixed just managed. Ive spoken to my nutritionist. Even though Im not seeing her anymore shes going to do some reading for me if theres anything nutritionally that helps. Then its a case of…

No Ive not been tested for sleep apnoea - it occurred to me but a) I dont snore anymore since losing weight as per my husband and b)it doesnt really cover all the range of symptoms just the tiredness. But the insulin resistance is interesting and I will mention it to my gp though I dont have the skin discoloration and only…

I dont really know what to think tbh. Ive had a glucose tolerance test. Its all fine. Thyroid is fine, blood work is all fine. No signs of infection. I know it does fit my particular symptoms. When Im struggling I can sleep 12 plus hours without a second thought if I can get away with it. Its doing jack *kitten* for my…

ME is Myalgic Encephalopathy. Its also called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome. Its not a psych diagnosis. I went to my GP - well have been several times saying Ive had about a 2y history of extreme tiredness, aching in my joints, heavy limbs, sensitivity to noise, difficulty concentrating and she…

Well having sat and read the questionnaire, accompanying letter and leaflet they sent it seems they dont have any firther tests to do and have accepted my GP's diagnosis so they agree I have ME. The questionnaire is about symptoms and the appt I get will be to learn how to manage them and deal with it Not totally sure how…

Weighed in 2.5lb lighter this morning after being pretty.good since last Sunday. Also completed a five km muddy obstacle course race today. Raised.over three hundred pound for cancer research. Have decided to take a deliberate break from plan this afternoon but am gonna log it to keep me honest

Have one from me too then. Hope you are feeling better soon As for today I have enjoyed decent food - the chicken with apple and bacon was tasty even hubs liked it. And Ive walked 5.2km tonight

I have a surge but unless you are going to use the exercise capabilities of the watch the charge hr is probably better value for money. Of course if you are going to use the exercise tracking the surge rocks

Ok so today I blew the food big time but I was out on a day trip with a friend I only see twice a year. And I enjoyed it Tomorrow I have lovely food planned, chicken with apple and bacon (i ordered a meat hamper) and am power walking. Friday Im going running and saturday I have my 5km OCR. Actually looking forward to the…

I see. Sorry for the meltdown last week then. Hope more lurkers will come to life soon Mentioning no karens..

Sorry didn't mean to moan just frustrated.

The vit d and calcium are in the same pill. The clo is in a capsule luckily and I'm taking vit b in the multivitamin effervescent tabs. Rang the hospital and th e ME clinic today. Mental health haven't even received a referral yet and nobody was at the clinic til Thursday. More waiting. Am feeling really.down today

Wow someone else from swindon

Been and bought some Vit D, calcium and a multivit effervescent today and going to add in cod liver oil and rosehip for my joints. STILL no appointments from anybody

Nancy is back hurrah! :) Missed you Im going to focus on getting back to the gym 3 days a week and logging and tracking consistently as Ihavent since July

Lets just jump in and do it. Am sure everyone will come back when they are ready.

Lol I was thinking the same thing. I doubt it's either of us though

Well done indeed Pat

Thanks everyone

Thanks carly. I'm a little bit funny about my scars being on show but think I will just suck it up as a throw scarf or whatever would probably make me more.self conscious.

Thanks guys. Having a better day today more energy. Got a week off work now which should help things

Yeah I need to rearrange my sitting room a bit to get it in but will be trying. Got one appt through for some cbt which have waited three months for so just psychiatrist and hospital to go

Its probably going to take weeks to be honest Cari. The appointments might come through in the next few days but they will be at least a week or two on top of that in my experience. Because its the NHS and you dont pay you are just on a waiting list.

I'm still waiting for appointments. Saw my gp 10 days ago and she's referred me to my psychiatrist and the ME clinic at hospital but neither of them has.got back to me.yet and I've checked the referrals went off today. They did so it's waiting I guess. I'm idk ok I guess.

Thanks
