Ah, but I do.
Exercise cured it. But non-exercise causes relapse, in which there is no energy to do anything.
So, if you allow yourself to waste away, you waste away! Surprise!
That’s my experience with my ex, who was fine when she exercised. When she slacked off, she was a lump of non-humanity. Mostly she slacked off. No muscle tone. Everything hurt. She slept infinite hours. With or without the fracking opiates.
Huge waste of humanity on a “syndrome” caused by not moving your butt.
Yes, I’m experienced with it, and it ruined the lives of so many over a simple unwillingness to move her lazy a$$.
My late daughter got plenty of exercise plus she was in the marching high school band. So, that was not an answer. When she got sick in Austria, that was her big problem. Walking, marching without enough rest and sleep. Her dr. said her immune system was shot. Glad it worked for you. There is not one answer for everyone. She then developed Crohn’s Disease and complications of that caused her death.
Sorry you had a bad experience. My daughter was diagnosed at age 4. Wanna tell me my 4 year old was faking the 103 fever, severe fatigue, vomiting, Horner’s Syndrome, off the charts viral titers, and other symptoms that were there for more than 2 months? She never let it rule her life. She did gymnastics and cheerleading in elementary and high school. Still had episodes. She still has episodes. Holds down a full time job, is a wife, and pursues numerous hobbies. She is determined this disease will not define who she is or how she lives her life.
“Exercise cured it. But non-exercise causes relapse, in which there is no energy to do anything.”
You have this exactly backwards. Exercise causes people with ME/CFS to have relapses called “post-exertional malaise”...yes a really stupid name which greatly under-stated that degree of extreme incapacitation that is experienced by ME/CFS sufferers.
If what you say about your ex-wife is true, i.e., when she exercised she was fine and when she stopped exercising she suffered from lack of exercise, then she DID NOT HAVE CFS!
So please stop trolling ME/CFS threads and posting drivel!
On the other hand, if your ex-wife actually DID have ME/CFS and did meet the 1994 Fukuda Criteria used by the Stanford MD’s in selecting the research subjects whose brains revealed the permanent damage indicated in the MRI’s in the thread article for example, THEN, you may have possibly done your ex-wife and marriage a serious injury which is between you and her and your God.
Could you have been drawn to this thread possibly out of a bit of subconscious doubt as to your self-righteous condemnation of your wife on seeing a thread title that would undercut the basis of your divorce if it were true that CFS is a REAL disease and your ex-wife was NOT FAKING?
