I had full out chronic fatigue syndrome. About 2 years ago I was sleeping 18 hours per day, bedridden and thought I was close to death. I was wasting away. No one knew what was wrong. I spent a week in the hospital and had tons of tests run (EKGs, MRIs, etc.) but no answers.
Then I discovered that depending what I ate, I felt better or worse. I then adopted a strict diet and saw some improvement but no more. I was sleeping less, able to do a little more but still disabled. I also had very pronounced POTS that caused elevated heart rates when standing or in heat.
I have tried so so much...hormone replacement, all sorts of probiotics and supplements, I've spent tens of thousands of dollars trying to get better. I've had well over 100 separate lab tests run including digestive tests.
DMPS was like lifting a blanket off my mind for the first time in years.
I now sleep 7-8 hours per night and feel generally well upon waking, I can eat pretty much what I want without any effect. If I go "crazy" and eat a lot of sweets then I will feel it, but nothing like what it used to be.
My brain fog is probably 90% gone- I'm working again.
I'm slowly gaining a little weight- it's encouraging.
I'm living life again, going shopping and doing what most normal people do without issue.
Issues that remain:
still constipated, but better than before
still some fatigue, but noticeably improved
still suffering from mild POTS, but heart rates are a lot lower and not POUNDING like they used to be
Overall, this is the most normal I've felt in years and I'm living life again. Tonight I went to my family's house for a birthday party. I ate cake, I ate brownies, I feel fine. I drove an hour each way. No worries.
All I changed was oral DMPS and I've also started liposomal EDTA. I really feel like the DMPS was the "magic" and wish I would have talked to my doctor about it so much sooner.
For the first time, I'm optimistic I will be 100% healed from all of this.
