Found this post while looking for a thread on cutting down carbon bars (found cutting down gluten).
I could write loads about this having had CFS/ME/PVF or whatever acronym you want to use this week.
I struggled for a few years after either Swine flu or a tick bite – not sure which now I look back.
Really tough period of my life and felt like my life was over, couldn’t ride, was signed off work, couldn’t walk down the street, couldn’t socialise and withdrew from my family as I couldn’t cope.
I did everything I could to fight back and find a route out of the situation I was in.
Interesting that Dr Myhill is mentioned, now I have recovered (wasn’t easy) I believe the mitochondria is a symptom rather than the cause. I also think nutrition is part of the resolution but not the whole answer. I’d also say there is no silver bullet. You also need to speak to the doc to rule out any other issues.
I could ramble on about this for weeks having learnt a whole load about this. If the OP wants to discuss I’m happy to go into more detail.
My advice would be to speak to the Optimum Health Clinic ( http://www.theoptimumhealthclinic.com/ ) THey are doing some amazing work and were the ones I eventually turned to and gave me the tools I needed to get where I am today.
