Dietary advice please

[Gooddaysagain]

I'm new to this community, having joined the Fibro site earlier in the year. I have managed to control my pain through lifestyle and dietary changes, but am still suffering from exhaustion (I was diagnosed 10 years ago with CFM/ME and, more recently, with Post-Viral Fatigue...... ). Can anyone please let me know what changes they have made to their diet that have really helped them cope, or improve their condition.

Many thanks,

dee

I take a vitamin b complex and a b12. I think it helps. Let me put it this way, if I don’t take it for a couple of days I notice the difference.

Thank you.... I really appreciate your letting me know, and have 'invested in' a B12 spray to sit on my desk (the spray, not me.... ) in case I forget in the morning.

I think the B complex is more effective than the B12. I started on B12 first on my Drs recommendation. ( I have cfs/me) He also told me that you can’t do any damage to yourself if you take high doses as your body expels what you do not need.

My niece suggested B complex, so I gave it a go. I think it helps.

I take Vit D (that is a vital one) multi B Vit and Omega 3 oils. Added to this I am meant to be dairy and gluten free although I cheat on the dairy at times.

That information was given to me by a specialist who is very knowledgeable about M.E. and has proven to help. At various times I was vegetarian and vegan for another condition and I think that at the vegan stage I was feeling better but it is very hard to maintain when also gluten free.

I also take gentle iron for another condition but it is also likely to help with energy. I also take NAC supplement for energy and brain function that I came across on a website for M.E., the address is lost to me now:

Hope that points you in the right direction. Best of luck.

Thank you. You've put my mind at rest that most of the changes/additions I made to help with the Fibro (e.g. Vit D3 - with K2, and going Gluten Free) are likely to help with my energy levels eventually.

It's probably the stress of Covid-19 'in the air' that's holding me back at the moment......

Thank you, again,
