CFS & Others

Its nice to find a place like this. I was diagnosed with CFS about 3 years ago. It all started when I went to my doctor complaining of being tired all the time, not having any energy and out of breath. My family had gone on vacation to Panama city, FL and I had trouble walking on the beach. Muscles ached and couldn't hardly walk across the beach. Later that year visiting family I had problems going up and down the stairs, huffing and puffing. Now you have to realize I have always been very active, up at 6 am sometimes working on the job until 6 or 7 PM. Coming home to fix dinner, do housework, tend to the grandson, laundry, play and bed maybe at 11. Painting my house, yard work, running to stores, church... I am not one to sit still.

Think You Have Only CFS? Think Again.

My doctor is amazing. I went undiagnosed for more than 7 years, with doctors finally telling me I just had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and I'd have to live with it. Finding a Lyme-literate doctor is like finding a diamond in the rough, and thank GOD that I did. Check out his article:
