Sorry for yet more questions. . . Has anyone had a laparoscopy, hysteroscopy and dye test, who also has M.E/Chronic fatigue?

I know everyone is different but I was wondering how long people with M.E/CFS had taken off work to recover.

Hi I was suffering from chronic fatiugue for 3 months in the summer but now I mange my energy well so can pretty much get through everyday thanks to my homeopath. The NHS just said I was lazy when all my bloods came back normal! I had my lap on the 31st of oct had endo and cyst removed. I have to say that that nearly a week later I'm still exhusted! I have feeling its going to be a long road but I can keep you updated if you want? Good luck with the lap. X

I'd love to hear how you are getting on Moff_cat, please. Hope you recover soon x

Hi Lemmi, I will keep you updated least I feel usefull by answering some things on the forum while im recovering. I would recomend getting some sea kelp tablets, helps keep my energy stable and has helped me even loose weight whilst pieing away on too much chocolate. X

Ok I'll have a look out for some of those. Would be good to lose some weight. Thanks x

I was diagnosed with cfs/me in April of this year, after spending nearly 2 years trying to get a diagnosis. I am lucky as my boss allows me to work from home on the days that I am really exhausted so as yet I haven't had to actually take time off work. I have also reduced the amount of wheat and caffeine that was in my diet, this has helped a lot.

I am also registered with the following groups, who give amazing support:

Hope you manage to get help soon xx

Thanks Fordie. I was diagnosed with me/CFS about 2 years ago after several misdiagnosis over 10yrs, I don't eat wheat/gluten and limit my dairy and caffeine. I will check out the groups you mentioned x

Maybe I should be mentioned that I also have fibro. I get the whole package. Work so far have been OK with it. I work for some doctors.
