Re: How bad are peoples symptoms?
I'm sorry you're havin a tough time of it *hugs to you and all*. I've been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome as well as a candida overgrowth. For me it's been centuries, lol, since 1991 ( I remember having the active virus). At times, I've been able to work, but when I've gotten a cold or flu, I've relapsed. Currently I am unable to work. I have difficulty standing for any period of time. Every day I feel like I got hit by a truck - literally as if I had been in an accident. My predominate symptoms are huge fatigue and difficulty sleeping and then for me, the itching, itching itching.

I'm starting a new protocol of strict diet, supplements, cleansing. I will begin with P&B shakes and
parasite cleanse, then probably a liver cleanse, then I'll most likely go on the Master Cleanse. For me, I imagine that in order to 'feel better' (cleaning my house is my barometer ;) ..) it will take a year of diet, cleansing, etc.
When I was in highschool, I remember having mononucleosis, that took about 9 months of recovery too.
Like ketchup, I recommend sauerkraut too - but you have to buy it in the health food store - commercially processed sauerkrauts are quick-made with vinegar, not cultured with acidophilus.
I'm chronicaling my protocol, my diet, my supplements, and my progress on my blog if you're interested -

I'm adding my supplements list there this week.
I think that most people that post here are truly suffering and striving toward feeling normal again. Keep reading, keep trying different things. You'll feel better in time, I know. carrie
p.s: ( I know that my dirty house could in fact be a psychological disorder, maybe my mom didn't raise me right - but you can't say that when you consider there's spidies in the corners! I gots to get the spidies! Does the Master of
The Master Cleanse do house calls? Is he related to Mr. Clean? Does he have an earring? :) ..)
