Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 I had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for 4 1/2 years when my HMO said " That's it, we can't do anything else for you. You have to learn to live with it and maybe it will go away someday. " I couldn't accept that and researched until I found Dr. Weil's book " Spontaneous Healing " and he said Traditional Chinese medicine was best for CFS. I called the American Foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the back of the book and they gave me the number of a Dr. in my area. 6 months later, after drinking herbs 3X a day, my CFS was completely gone!!

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Hi , I have several similarities with you. I have had allergies my whole life. I had asthma until I got pregnant at age 27 - mysteriously, the asthma disappeared, and I started getting sinus problems instead. I was also diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, by Dr Lapp, who is a friend of Dr. Weil's. Dr Lapp did not recommend an MRI, although I asked him about the possibility that I had a Chiari Malformation. I finally went to another Dr. 2 years later, who gave me an MRI and discovered the Chiari Malformation. THIS was the cause of my fatigue, orthostatic intollerance, sleep disorder, etc. I had surgery 2 months ago, but this has not solved many of my health problems. I read several of Dr Weil's books years ago, but the herbs didn't help me then. I may try again, now that I have tried the surgical " solution " .
