My journey in overcoming Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ("CFS") opened my mind to the body's ability to heal and overcome adversity. The path can be difficult, especially if alone. Healthy Bankers' goal to be your partner and the premier resource for efficiently improving and maintaining your health and well-being.
Background and Recovery from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
The next two years of my post-mono fatigue I would rate as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) (CFS diagnosis criteria), I trusted the mainstream medical establishment that I would get better with “time” or by “resting”, one doctor even told that diet wouldn't make any difference! However, after 18-months with no progress in my recovery, I started to take matters into my own hands. I was reluctant at first to seek out alternative/holistic medical professions and so I ended up taking the shotgun approach: trying every supplement, gadget, and protocol imaginable as soon as I read somewhere it may be helpful.
As the Chinese proverb goes: " A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Every little thing you do to improve your health - no matter how small - can add up over time to substantial and lasting changs.

What follows is my experience which will hopefully help others. Obviously, everyone’s body is different and those suffering from fatigue are at various stages and from various sources. Please keep that I mind if you proceed with any particular protocols I list. Do seek out a health care professional, particularly a functional practitioner who understands the real role of a doctor should provide and understands a holistic approach is best when healing. It shouldn't be understated, that you often have to put the pieces together from various sources to completely heal. Hopefully, the information provided herein will help you do that.
