Well, as i'm sure you already know, i've been on the ME "choco treatment" just for curiosity's sake (you never know, right?) and also started taking L-Lysine as i heard that might actually be good against Oral Herpes. Well here comes the irony, since three days ago i've developed a pretty bad case of oral Herpes and have even gotten a "fat lip" from it. Been quite a while since i got one of those so i figured it had something to do with the newly added L-Lysine or the choco treatment and stopped taking both. I will start taking just L-Lysine again later on when the herpes outbreak has passed, to be able to isolate exactly which one of the two that actually caused it. Might have been both for all i know.
The day before yesterday i started a 15 day treatment with Valtrex to try and get rid of this Herpes outbreak and already i feel slightly better. It means that it still has a positive and strong effect on me. Guess that's a good thing because i sure do need my Valtrex considering what a inefficient immune system i seem to have.

Balancing upon a fine line
Just added a list of my symptoms on the sidebar to the right.
Lately i've been straining myself way above the guidelines i've set up for myself and what's good for me and have been skipping my exercise schedule due to many things. Mostly i've had less energy to spare due to the unstable situation at home as well as an increased usage of the computer. I really need to take control of this again as that exercise schedule is most likely a huge part of why i've made it this far in the first place, balancing the fact that exercise actually makes my symptoms and overall condition much worse and the fact that some parts of my body need the exercise not to deteriate as well as to avoid muscle atrophy. It's a fine line and like i mentioned, the reason why i've made it this far is most likely a large part due to the fact that i've found a really great system - something that healthcare should've provided me with me with a long time ago, but all i received was disbelief and misguided [and sometimes very physically abusive] cognitive treatments. Which is why my condition was allowed to become as severe as it has. If there ever were any chance of me just "resting" this away, it's long gone now. Long gone. With ME/CFS it is Crucial to get diagnosed as early in as possible to avoid having the patient going through what i had to, severly damaging the rehabilitation process. Problem is, as ME/CFS still isn't taken completely seriously by doctors, even if you do get diagnosed early, that doesn't automatically mean you'll get help. Sad but true.
Later.
