Guest guest Posted July 28, 2006 Report Posted July 28, 2006 I was wondering what the best way was to increase Glutithione levels in the body. I've been working with immunopro whey protein for about two weeks. Also how long can one expect to take to raise Glutithione levels that have been depleted. Where should I start in battling my CFS. My story 3 years ago I came down with a bacterial infection of some sort that raised my white blood count, as soon as the bacterial infection hit me I became noise and light sensitive and began to sigh more than usual. These symptoms then cascaded with me having terrible anxiety and terrible insomnia. I first went to an endo doctor and the only thing that he discovered on his work up was low testosterone. I finally became so ridden with anxiety and insomnia that I checked myself into a mental hospital for 3 days they put me on zyprexa and klonopin which really calmed me down a lot. I returned to work after this but I slowly noticed that I was beginning to get fatigued over time and just didn't feel like myself. It eventually got so bad that I had to quit work about 8 months ago and tell them I no longer could do it due to the physical exhaustion. I've been searching for answers to my problem ever since. I have been to several neurologists that say nothing is wrong with me, psychiatrists that say I have bipolar but its not the bipolar that is causing the fatigue like I experience, this was told to my by an expert in bipolar by the name of Rif El-Mallakh in Louisville Kentucky. He said a few weeks ago that I definitely have bipolar disorder but that the bipolar was not causing the fatigue that I was explaining to him and all the other symptoms. He said anxiety was definitely a very big part of my picture. He prescribed Provigal for me and said you can try this I still havent tried it yet do to its huge cost. I am heading to the cleveland clinic on Aug. 1 to see there doctos there, I think after this visit more than likely I will be given a diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I have had about every standard blood test run and they all come back normal. I am currently on Klonopin and Zyprexa which I feel that I only take in order to get to sleep and for anxiety. I take a very small dose of zyprexa 2.5mg and I take 1mg of Klonopin to sleep. Anyways here are my current symptoms Extreme anxiety POTS Post exertional fatigue Push crash phenomonon Unrefreshing sleep wake up every morning still tired Generally have more body aches than I use to My Jaw pops a lot Irritable bowel syndrome, Im currently taking Natures Biotics and another probiotic for. I have chronic insomnia, if I dont take my meds I dont sleep I feel wired and tired. Anyways give me your thoughts on where you would start in unraveling this illness that I have I want to get started down the right road to recovery. I have applied for disability and have gotten an attorney but I would really like to be able to get back to work. Quote
