Still Trying to Cure My Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) & Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia (POTS)

Does B1 actually work? What about B6 and Zinc?? How about lifestyle changes? Today I'm sharing a highly requested health update! For all of my adult life (14+ years) I've lived with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and later discovered I have the symptoms of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia (POTS) too which may or may not be the root cause of my CFS. In this video, I'll be breaking down all the vitamins I've tried so far as well as a promising new Vitamin B1 I've come to learn about along with some lifestyle changes I'm implementing to try and cure my chronic fatigue and pots. If you have either of these conditions, I hope I can encourage you here, because I'm not giving up until I find answers! Let me know if you want to see more updates.
🕒 VIDEO CHAPTERS:
0:00 Introduction:
2:15 Why I haven't updated in so long
5:20 New B1 I'm going to try
8:58 Lifestyle changes that are helping
Since becoming a new mom, it has been difficult to tell the difference between normal motherhood sleep deprivation and chronic fatigue syndrome. Plus, all of my supplement testings had to take a back burner. So, that is why I haven't made an update in a while. However, there are some lifestyle changes (minimalism and simplifying my life in general) that I'm doing as well as vitamins that have helped (and a new B1called Allithiamine I'm going to try!) that I believe will have a strong positive impact on the life of anyone who suffers from chronic illness. Stay strong! We can overcome this! We can live better and healthier lives! Never stop fighting for yourself!

Video: CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME (ME/CFS) & POSTURAL ORTHOSTATIC TACHYCARDIA (POTS)
More about this video:
Some believe CFS and POTS could be caused by a B1 (or Thiamine) Deficiency. Also similar to a condition called Beriberi. I first got CFS symptoms after falling very ill as a teenager. After that time period, I was never the same again. I longed to have the energy I once did but after many, many years, I nearly forgot what it was like to even have energy. Things like getting out of my chair to join in family games and activities exhausted me. Even just standing for any period of time completely wore me out, and still does. After living with it for years I tried to hide it as much as I could because I felt I just came across as lazy or uninterested. I wished people could understand what it really felt like to live your life feeling like a zombie with blurry vision 24/7. I wished I didn't have to use every remaining ounce of strength I had, to try and act "normal" in front of people, when all I wanted to do was collapse on the bed. Or even just sit on the floor! If you have either of these conditions (chronic fatigue syndrome or POTS) or any chronic illness for that matter, I know you already know exactly what I'm talking about. I hope you can find encouragement here. 💛

Everyone B1 gives most people bad reactions in the beginning but you have to keep taking it. It’s called a paradoxical reaction. Take it with high quality magnesium because B1 uses magnesium to work and you’ll be fine

Check your ferritin levels. I thought my vit Bs were low and the culprit, but while my hemoglobin was low normal, my ferritin was rock bottom at 8. Conventional docs would write it off as minor and ask you to “take some iron pills”. Once you hit 15 for ferritin, the lab would tell you you’re normal, but reality is you need to be at 100. Especially, if you’re taking zinc ( which is an antagonist of copper, and copper is needed to store iron ((ferritin)). Especially, since you’ve given birth. Iron deficiency anemia symptoms are almost 90% the same as PotS. I have been diagnosed with pots… I refused the beta blockers from the neurologist and my crazy heart.

Hi Christy, try high-dose Biotin, having a bad reaction to vitamin B1 can i think exacerbate an already existing "Biotin" deficiency as B1 and Biotin do the opposite reactions to one another in the body yet they are both involved in energy metabolism, i had the same reaction as you to Benfotiamine i almost threw up nd my heart pounded so hard i couldn't bare it yet biotin helps my chronic fatigue syndrome.

I work as a labourer so basically it's manual hard work. I have been suffering from chronic fatigue and brain fog, so I ordered benfotamine, which took about 2 weeks. Meanwhile, I took coQ10, I could feel the energy and my body not experiencing pain as I used to before. This has helped me a lot and maybe it might help you too.

@michaelgoins8382 2 жыл бұрын

Christy, take sulbutiamine. It's much better than thiamine because its composed of two thiamines connected by a sulfur and is more effective than thiamine for what you need. Benfotiamine doesn't do the job because it doesnt cross the brain blood barrier like sulbutiamine. You'll pop right up off that couch with sulbutiamine. Sulbutiamine is oil soluble so take it with eating fats. Check it out. Another thing, spore probiotics with Bacillus subtilus HU58, because regular probiotics do not work, only spore type probiotics actually work. Remember, your gut and your brain talk to each other. If your gut biome is messed up, it will send the wrong instruction signals to your brain. There's other supplements out there, too. But research these two items. Good luck!

I believe it’s also symptoms of something else. In my case and a co-workers of mine it was triggered by mononucleosis espstein barr virus. I’ve noticed salt pills and vitamin C pills help. My symptoms are also worse when I’m on my period.Symptoms are way worse. I also was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, so I have flares or intense pain too.

Sounds like you have POTS, but I think it’s not a real diagnosis, it’s more of a symptom. It’s cause is unknown (probably multi factorial) and there are no known cures as well unless you can get to the root. My daughter was diagnosed with POTS, and doctors don’t know what to do to really help (they all say drink lots of water, take in extra salt and wear compression leggings). If you have stomach issues (my daughter has lots of stomach nausea and pain, even after drinking water), look into MALS (Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome), which could be the cause of, or at least contribute to both stomach pain and POTS.

Hi Christy, just fixed my ME/CFS after 16 years.. the last 6 years have been literally crawling through life. Just jumping in here as my findings may help you and others!? Firstly ask yourself.. if you eat the correct human diet why on earth should we need manufactured supplements?? (snake oil for profit) I only used B1 thiamin TTFD for a short while.. B1 deficiency is related to anxiety/depression.. along with magnesium deficiency. Carnivore/Keto is the proper human diet.. ask our ancestors ;) I recovered by eating bacon eggs beef and LIVER! The most nutritiously dense food available to man! Stay below 20-50grams of carbohydrates per day.. roughly one medium potato. Make sure you are getting 3-6grams of salt per day.. I use Redmonds! Do not ingest Fluoride! Tap water and commercial toothpaste Eeeeek! Distill your drinking water! Zero SUGAR.. Zero processed foods.. Zero seed oils.. these are dangerous! Zero Gluten..Zero Grains! But above all... the biggest contributors to my recovery have been Dimethyl Sulfoxide DMSO oil. Watch Amandah Vollmer! and the greatest hidden truth.. Ozone therapy! ;) Have a listen to Frank Shallenberger. Good luck all you guys.. I truly feel for any body suffering.. Namaste.
