new here...cfs, etc.

[Guest guest]

I'd like some feedback about my situation. Any advice for what I can do next?

+I got mono at age 20. I'm 48.

+I've been sick since age 20--with low energy, foggy head, sleep apnea, anxiety, depression, immense fatigue, developed allergies and MCS, food sensitivities, sinusitis, adrenal fatigue.

+I had to stop working and become self-employed at home about 8 years ago.

+2 years ago a holistic M.D. diagnosed me with CFS (CFIDS) and adrenal fatigue.

+I've had a lot of antibiotic use in my past.

+last year, had toxic exposure to something when apt upstairs was gutted and was mostly in bed for months--initial reaction was extreme anxiety, overwhelming depression and crying jag for 1 hour. I never emote. But it clearly affected me neurologically. For another few months: no energy, barely functioning.

+Tested very high for cadmium that I think is better due to chlorella, but haven't retested. This could be the toxin from the gutted apt upstairs.

+I have that red arc in the back of my throat that is said to be a symptom of CFIDS.

+Felt excellent after antibiotic for the past 3 weeks that was prescribed to clear up sinuses which were in a mild smoldering infection. This happens 2 times a year. But sinuses always inflamed. I may have mold allergy and live with forced hot air heat above a moldy basement.

I take: Cortef, antidepressant, antianxiety med. I take a bunch of supplements.

Haven't taken a lyme test. EBV shows that I had it in past but it's no longer active.

Ok, do I have a lingering virus, bacteria? Is there something other than mold going on? Like an overactive immune system due to....?

Thank you very much for your insights!!
