I've had this condition for 35 years. It's not fun. And trying to do daily things is almost exactly like if you have a terrible flu; just the acts of getting out of bed, showering, getting dressed, brushing teeth sound like impossible feats. You feel every single movement and they're exhausting. Brushing your teeth isn't just brushing your teeth; it's removing the toothbrush from its holder, turning on the water, opening the cabinet door, taking out the toothpaste, unscrewing the cap, squeezing some onto the toothbrush, on and on. The whole day is like this. Any exercise other than walking (on a good day; as tolerated)is a recipe for disaster. What usually happens when I overdo is I'm rewarded with 3 days of exhaustion and pain, often having to stay in bed. No positive after-affects, unfortunately. Much better to pace yourself. Listen to your body!! One last point: The CFID people always told me that even with the lack of exercise, atrophy for some reason doesn't occur. I'd agree with that from my personal experience. What does happen is lack of endurance, but a few 'good days' will take care of that naturally.

I agree have had 30 years took best years of my life. Did facilitate a support group at local hospital for CFS for 22 years. Wrote and published a study on it in 2000. One step forward 5 back. One day out equals 3 in.bed to pay for it. Pace yourself, listen to your body. Don't compare with others we are al different. Its a personal journey you can share with others thru reading writing and support group if you can find one. I had 440 plus people attend in all those years. Young 18, oldest in 80s. Men and women.A support group helps if its kept from being a crying fest leaving everyone go home sadder then when they came. Find a lighter one based on.just sharing and education. Helping others and yourself. Good luck to all.

What this doctor SHOULD be telling everyone is that we are alkaline beings. Our bodies regulate us at a constant 7.2 to 7.4 pH. We must stay at this pH to feel healthy. That means eating mostly alkaline food which consists of leafy greens. Many doctors know this, like the one called Dr. Young. He wrote the book The pH Miracle. Drink lots of energy filled water and eat the most dense nutrient filled foods that are NOT cooked. Cooking kills enzymes. Sugar and carbs and animals are all acidic. Don't eat them. The air we breathe and most of the water we drink is acidic. To be healthy and pain free is to stop with all these acidic substances.

I just have a very hard time to explain to people and sometimes the close family members but it’s not my choice that I cannot do something or feel how I feel… I experience no empathy from people who are closest to me, and that is the hard.

I have had CFS since November 1996. I work as CBT therapist - the reason that motivated me to do this job was because of the lack of understanding and acceptance of what CFS. It took years to understand how this limited my life. Some very good points in this video. For me - the most important thing to communicate to people is - its not caused by a mental health problem. It starts with a virus - for almost all people. I found for me the Achillies Heel of CFS - was yoga. I also found progressive muscle relaxation highly effective - a second Achilles Heel. Lastly - but not as powerful - was mindfulness. I personally find visualisaton more powerful and useful. I find soothing memory useful as well. Just as Doc Snipes says - learning the ways to massage your Vagal Nerve is the key. I can tell you that from a person with this condition and as a therapist. These interventions are what I applied 1996 - to now. I actually did these before I became ill as an athelete. If you suffer from CFS/ME - people - every day people - have no reference points to understand the scale of health problem you face. They just dont understand. This video is a good one for both those who suffer from it and those who care for sufferers. Doc Snipes channel - absolutely tremendous resource. I listen every week. I always benefit. Eating - a low carb diet - was another monumental aid. It gives you 4 times the energy that what a carb diet gives. Its massively important to get the energy levels elevated and consistent. Find thigs you like doing. Anything which takes your attention from the ruminations will reduce the threat system. Working on managing how this condition restricts you - because IT WILL and DOES. And you cannot control it but can influence the response. So having wellbeing goals - plan your wellbeing. Its a new trajectory of life now - but it means you could refocus on picking up new interests. Chase the positive consequences.

My CFS definitely occurred a week following my one and only covid 19 vaccination. It has persisted ever since hitting me in waves but my baseline energy levels are still well below what I had experienced during my previous 45 years. It can be triggered by getting covid but rarely also from the vaccine. Sadly we often get labelled neurotic and gaslit as mentally ill by the medical profession who obviously don't want to acknowledge what they can't treat. Or see. Not much we can do except hope.

Greif has caused mine. Thank you for the basic CHF and not getting caught in labels. IT has pushed me to seek a further information!

Graded exercise is not a valid treatment, based upon my experience and research. Getting out of bed on a regular basis is important to me, especially when ME first struck and was so severe,along with dancing or moving around when I am feeling up to it, and long walks occasionally. But there is no shame in resting when the exhaustion hits, for however long it hits, you have to listen to your body. Yoga, tai chi, meditation and other breath work were beneficial to me, but only with low levels of exertion, otherwise even these can cause a rebound and set me back. I’ve been dealing with this for over 30 years and understand that it’s different for everyone. It’s also important to do whatever it takes to battle depression, which can strike anyone who has a debilitating disease that has rocked your goals and dreams. A lot of great info here on anxiety, anger, frustration etc.

I have had ME (chronic fatigue syndrome as you call it) or over a decade. In the UK, NICE are discussing not using CBT and Graded Exercise as effective treatments for ME as they have been proven not to work. Additionally the fatigue you get from a medication is completely different to the bone crushing fatigue you experience with ME. There is no comparison. A lot of the points you made were interesting but in my experience they aren't correct.

​@@Dteshome85 Hi. Thanks. :) ME/CFS patients need to rest. Full stop. It's a multi-system disease where many different components of the body are broken: immunological, metabolic, neurological, et cetera and so far none of those broken systems have interventions to fix them. Which means the body is still injured. Once pharmcalogical interventions are found that can fix the broken systems; restoring what is injured, then and only then can any type of rehab take place. ME/CFS patients can have PEM crashes from brushing their teeth, or going to the bathroom---it's insane to suggest anything except rest in this situation. Right now biomedical funding must be put into finding how to fix the multi-systems that are broken and funding into clinical trials and diagnostic tests for more rapid diagnosis, and tighter research for treatments. If ME/CFS wasn't the most underfunded, neglected, mistreated, misunderstood disease--we wouldn't be in this situation.

I agree I had to try and manage CFS for work which was impossible. I had to take 1000 days from employment. As a Senior University Lecturer I had some support from my employer. But survival did involve pretending to be ok. 15 years later I retired from work and this was a blessing that gave me time and space to manage the symptoms. 7 years of go slow have been fantastic but it is still apart of my life.

Can't attest to long-term use results but it helps keep me awake when I feel myself going down with fatigue. I expect it will help a lot with muscle tone.

Hi Dr Snipes. . Love your channel. Two things. First, I can’t find a Dr that will diagnose this. I am self diagnosed. You’re spot on with your understanding and acceptance of CFS. Any recommendations on finding a Dr to diagnose?? Also, what is the name of the dietary app you mentioned?? Thx for ALL your help and sharing of information! 💕

Take zinc and vitamin D in the morning and magnesium at night. Don’t take them together. Also zinc at high levels can get you sick so you have to figure out what is the right amount of dosage for you (ask your Dr). Check your B12 levels. It may be low which also may signal leaky gut. If you see it getting lower or it’s low, your doctor will need to give you a B12 shot in order for you to metabolize it. The over the counter ones usually cannot be absorb (if can’t get a b12 shot, best option to absorb is the tinture). Also animal meat- especially red meat, eggs, has the the levels most need. If your Dr agrees get on a colon detox or raw vegetable detox that will help you to reset your microbiome since you are getting the old out to get the new. Eat from local farms if possible since these produce have the necessary composition based on your locality. For instance, the best honey is the one locally farmed since the bees create it with the local pollen/ bacteria in your area which gives you the necessary bacteria in your gut to fight off any local inflammation inducing viruses. In regards to working out, listen to your body. Your body will tell you what it needs. Don’t over exert yourself bc it will cause more harm than healing and may last a while. If your body wants to sleep, allow it. Our body knows what we needs best more than studies and doctors. If anything take a nature walk (grounding) for it has been proven to help with fatigue . Also, research strategies on activating and relaxing your vagus nerve for it will kickstart the parasympathetic system (healing system) in the body, and help you heal in your journey. And research acupuncture. In regards to antidepressants- only if it’s absolutely needed, sometimes this actually disregulate your microbiome and sleeping cycles if taken, and causes more harm. I agree with the feeling safe encouragement 100%. If we don’t feel safe, we will not start healing at all. So IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO FEEL SAFE (not screaming just over emphasizing). Good luck in your journey. Believe me, it can and will get better. Oh, on that note read Dr. Sardo’s book on TMS (hopefully I got the acronym right since I tend to swap the letters). Just remember to believe that you are healing and your efforts will go further (if not your body will fight it). Lots of hugs sent your way!

I was diagnosed with M.E 15 years ago. After a few years, the symptoms started to go away and I become fit again. Over the last 4 months I've been exhausted everyday and I am certain that I have M.E again. I am hoping to get diagnosed with this but my doctor has told me that I probably have CFS but he refussed to diagnose this. I am exhausted all throughout the day and I suffer from a constant sore throat, sore glands and muscle aches. After making a complaint, I have been referred to Rheumatology so hope this helps. Thanks for the great info.

What this doctor SHOULD be telling everyone is that we are alkaline beings. Our bodies regulate us at a constant 7.2 to 7.4 pH. We must stay at this pH to feel healthy. That means eating mostly alkaline food which consists of leafy greens. Many doctors know this, like the one called Dr. Young. He wrote the book The pH Miracle. Drink lots of energy filled water and eat the most dense nutrient filled foods that are NOT cooked. Cooking kills enzymes. Sugar and carbs and animals are all acidic. Don't eat them. The air we breathe and most of the water we drink is acidic. To be healthy and pain free is to stop with all these acidic substances.

@ManInAmerica I have read about carrots and tomatoes releasing different nutrients. Like raw tomatoes have vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, potassium, vitamin K, and folate BUT heat can break down some tougher cell walls in the plant, making it easier for the body to absorb their nutrients like lycopene.

I don't seem to meet the CFS criteria but I have severe, persistent fatigue. This began after a finding of Vitamin D at 6. It might have dropped even lower because I was still not eating after the blood test I had which determined this level. Strangely, like those with long COVID, I had lost my sense of smell at the same time, though this occurred 11 years ago. I had preceded this Vitamin D deficiency with depression in which I stopped eating and could not fall asleep at all. I was treated for depression, MDD, and the symptoms are controlled. I still take medication for it. I feel that the level of Vitamin D was the trigger or the total lack of sleep for days was the trigger. I have zero energy. Just washing my eating utensils is difficult. I do much better when I'm reclining or sitting. I don't feel like the fatigue I have is a residual symptom of depression. I am able to sleep and eat and do not feel depressed. I wish there was a disorder called Persistent Fatigue Syndrome. Just as you say, the energy to get ready to go out is so difficult. It takes me a week to work up to getting dressed to go to a doctor's appointment. I do have an autoimmune disorder, psoriasis. Another possible cause is my antidepressant itself. I've taken this medicine for years. It's an SSRI. Maybe it plays a part in my severe fatigue. My circadian rhythm returned to normal once my antidepressant started to work, but this had no effect on my severe fatigue. I do have something wrong with my lower lumbar spine that makes it impossible for me to stand in one place. I can walk, but not stand still for more than a minute. I need to sit back down. I can stand a few minutes if I hold on to something. I've thought I could have inflammation there, plus a couple of spinal conditions.

Also some get a good sleep by sleeping in the cold with a very warm sleeping bag. Barely having their nose looking out. Or getting out driving your car somewhere nice with loud music, singing along and being silly. If your activity is limited, doesn't mean you can't have fun. Also maybe engage in singing in a group or choir or church. You don't need to sign up to be there all the time. Just sporadically.

It's a degenerative nerve disorder so I don't plan on it getting any better but I want to try to prevent it from staying active. I've just had immense fatigue issues, 90% of my muscles have atrophied especially my legs and now have some pretty severe depression along with anxiety I have NEVER had before. I can't afford to get a specialist and am currently going through the loop of govt funded insurance which is tough to find anyone who knows how to help me.

I got M.E back in 1998, in the UK, when little was known about it. I didn't have to fulfil the criteria set out by this doctor to say if I had M.E. I was diagnosed with it within several weeks after catching pleurisy and glandular fever. There was little knowledge or understanding then, so I did my own research. My conclusion was the hypothalamus, or there about, was the cause. So I treated the symptoms, took a very holistic approach, and the best thing that worked for me was reflexology and serious meditation. I've been meditating for over 23 plus years. I caught COVID in 2020, which gave me long COVID, but meditating has seen me through M.E and long COVID. I cannot express how powerful meditating is to the body, try it, after all what have you got to lose! Meditating helped me go on to live an almost normal life. Do it!

IDK if I have CFS or if I am an overconcerned teenager. Maybe I can list out some of the symptoms I experience and you can help me identify the problem or advice if I should consult a neurologist, or whatever the diagnostic body is referred as? Symptoms: 1. Brainfog (I also have depression, so maybe some of the symptoms of brainfog overlap with symptoms of depression) 2. Anxiety and Apprehension 3. Sleep Disturbances (mostly because I watched a video with scares the shit out of me and my sleep schedule is messed up) I don't have much pain in joints, can exercise well, am in decent shape, however I've been slightly carelessness. Maybe a bit of back pain, to the slightest of extents, where I am occasionally reminded that I have a back. Plus its on and off. The back pain though isn't a matter of concern, I just need to maintain a good posture as I sit on a chair around 8 hours a day or a lot more. No sore throat, but I do feel weird in my throat if I don't drink warm water in the morning. I am well able to exercise as well. Slightly worse than prior, but that's surely due to lack of exercise, I used to play football every alternate day, 1.5 hrs, plus 40min of yoga and working out + good bit of shadow boxing, now I barely even think of exercising. Also, my cognitive function is well distorted and impaired to an extent, in contrast to how it were prior. I face difficulty interpreting abstract notion that were well in my interpretational spectrum previously. BTW, im 15, if that suggests anything... Also, Is brainfog curable? As that's what is at the pinnacle of my concerns. I just wish the ability to think and function cerebrally, cognitively as I used to. If brain fog is curable, how long would it take to be cured? And what methods of curation (i thought i made that word up, prior to validating with google) am I plausible to go through in order to treat brainfog + how long (estimate) would it take to be cured? I know there is no definitive duration to the curation of brainfog or any medical condition for that regard, but just estimates would help... Estimates on the basis of prior cases alike. Thanks!

I have sickle cell anaemia and I have been creating awareness about chronic fatigue syndrome in people living with sickle cell disorder. Many people, including health workers, do not know that sickle cell disorder is one of the causes of chronic fatigue syndrome. The symptoms of CFS I have been experiencing are: chronic fatigue that does not get relieved with rest or eating, unrefreshing sleep, migraine-like headaches, memory loss, myalgia, depression, polyathralgia. I hope that one day, there will be a permanent and easily accessible & affordable cure for CFS and SCD, so that others will not suffer the things we have suffered, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ.

I wish they wouldn’t call it Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, ME is the medical term. I was referred to a great Doctor who diagnosed me and the last thing he said to me as I was leaving, he said you need to rest. Of course I didn’t rest we lived in a huge house on 5 acres 2 kids in High School and we run our own business. Fortunately I didn’t have to spend more than a day each week. However I usually cleaned our home until it was shone. I wish I had have listened to my Doctor when he said rest, because 3 weeks later I ended up in hospital. When my Doctor came into see me, he knew exactly why I was there and he said to me, I bet you didn’t rest and I also thought, I going too beat this, it not going too beat me and he was exactly right. When he released me 2 weeks later it was a sturn warning to take it easy. This time I listened to him as he gathered my family my room and made sure they all knew what was needed. It was hard for my kids to understand, because they said too him but she looks fine and this was the 1990’s and people who seen me thought I was a Hypochondriac because I looked OKAY and because they couldn’t see it I couldn’t blame them. My Partner thankfully because he talked to my Doctor, so he become my ME person and learned all the things that might happen and sign’s and symptoms . Still I wasn’t out the woods, thing’s that I was told could happen did happen, even though when I looked at the things that may happen, I still thought Oh I won’t get that but then the Insomnia set in, now I’ve always been a good sleeper but all of a sudden I might only get an hours sleep in bites and pieces a night. I did a lot of reading and watching TV for the next 5 years. My Doctor in desperation gave me a script for Rohipnol, hoping I would be able get sleep. A week later when I saw him, I took the tablet’s back and gave them to him, they hadn’t helped at all but slowly I did start to sleep and now although I still have nights when I don’t sleep and that’s usually only happens once a month. As I live on my own now I’m finding it much easier to read the signs of a flare up and I can do what I want to with in reason. I know this has been long but the one thing I’m truly grateful for is that now ME is a certified illness that is taken more seriously than when I first got it and their were only 2 Doctor’s in the whole Perth Western Australia that had an interest in ME and 1 of them was my Doctor.☘️

I experienced a lot of brain fog for the first few years, I’d always had a great memory but suddenly I found myself not being able too remember what I had read even though I might have read it 5 times already. So I started doing things on my iPad and I was surprised at just how much better it was because I was using my brain, my passion has always been music and I started making play lists, something very small and slowly the fog lifted. This may not be for everyone but if you do something simple like this even buy yourself one of those Colouring Books for adults and some pencils you can pick it up and put down as you like, again it’s only a small thing but your using your brain even though it might not not feel like it. I also have Fibromyalgia and Degenerative Osteoarthritis. So I usually make appointments I have for after lunch. I’m slow and I know this so by giving myself plenty of time I’m not running around like a Chook with it’s head cut off. Although I still have a lot of fatigue the next day,so I don’t make any plans to go out the next day. It’s alright for me too tell you what I do and how I manage it, unfortunately ME is an illness that comes in many forms and what works for you probably won’t work for everyone.

I finally gotten off Prozac. Because I sat there in my chair yes I'm fine and I couldn't cry I couldn't express myself and all in all I said I'm sorry I'm sorry to everybody and they just beat me up in my family and I finally got off pros at myself just to see what difference it would make I've been on it for so many years and lo and behold I started wanting to go outside again I started stepping up and saying no this is not good I'm not happy with this situation. And so I think after many years it just dumbs you down until you accept everything that's happening to you prejudice included and it didn't help in my case because I have neurotoxicity from interferon which they will not talk about all those things they did to us with the interferon they just left behind like left us behind and now we can't get even anything that will help us and just pain medicine who cares if you get addicted to it I mean at least you have a life and you can exercise but they taking all of that away too

What this doctor SHOULD be telling everyone is that we are alkaline beings. Our bodies regulate us at a constant 7.2 to 7.4 pH. We must stay at this pH to feel healthy. That means eating mostly alkaline food which consists of leafy greens. Many doctors know this, like the one called Dr. Young. He wrote the book The pH Miracle. Drink lots of energy filled water and eat the most dense nutrient filled foods that are NOT cooked. Cooking kills enzymes. Sugar and carbs and animals are all acidic. Don't eat them. The air we breathe and most of the water we drink is acidic. To be healthy and pain free is to stop with all these acidic substances. This also means stop eating foods that are not organic. Pesticides are acidic. Pills/medicines are acidic. Depression and anger are acidic.

The doctor called Dr. Young who wrote the book The pH Miracle says that all ailments are because of acid water and acid air and acid foods. Young says we are alkaline beings that must stay at a constant 7.2 to 7.4. Our bodies regulate us at these numbers. That means eating alkaline foods that are raw and organic.

After 36 years living with ME thyroid migraine 😫 I only know you can't have a normal life and the worse part no one knows and understand this, even your children laughing at you that it's your brain 😪😪 but meditation and healing will keep u going......

I don't believe there is one magic pill or solution. Find a Medical Doctor that treats the whole person.

I've had ME for about 34 years, as I'm from an academic background I've a chance to talk with leaders in the world who treat or do research on it, still no easy testing for it except exclusion testing, it is not a mental issue but a lot of people have trouble coping going from usually a high performer to having trouble washing your teeth, I found pacing the best way to cope but incorporate as much exercise as I can before I collapse, initiation appears to be through an overload of the immune system, usually by a virus and sometimes with a virus and stress, Persian Gulf War Syndrome appear to have been induced by a multivalent vaccination, the evidence seems to point the immune system being the common link, seems to have been around a lot and since Long Covid falls into this category we might get some more research on, do whatever it takes to keep you going

Hi, what about cronic low blood pressure? I have 100/70 and I am constantly fatigued

@DocSnipes

Certainly low blood pressure can cause fatigue in some people, but not everyone. Many physicians will say something like, yes it is low, but if it is not causing symptoms then no need to address it. It sounds like it might be causing you symptoms though. certainly constant fatigue is hindering your quality of life.

for the past year I have been feeling very tired. I used to run a lot but all of a sudden even the thought of exercercize makes me tired. I get exhausted just climbing a set of stairs. I fall asleep very easily and have to force myself out of bed. I can sleep for 10 hours and still feel like taking a nap. I don't have any pain or depression. I just feel tired all the time and a lot of itching on my back . Could that be related?

Is it normal to be narcoleptic with this? I can even sometimes trigger an episode if I'm fatigued and eat peanut butter. (So for anyone else who can't get to sleep, experiencing insomnia, try PB, turkey,.or ingest other sour es of tryptophan that will suit you, but just be already ready to hit the hay after that PB sandwich, because if it affects you like it does me, you could wind up falling through your shower doors a few times. I'd love to have a little study, but since it's unrelated to what I've said already, I should probably add a separate comment.

Psychiatric drugs (side effects and withdrawals) is what triggers ME/CFS for some people and keep them sick. It is a human tragedy that this disease (like so many others) were hijacked by Psychiatry and psychopharmocology in the 1980s.
