Delirious thoughts

Stimulants can be very bad for many of us with ME/CFS. I think it has to do with their effect on the adrenals, which are impacted by ME/CFS. Many people crash if they drink coffee or use any kind of stimulant. For me, I can't drink coffee, but I am sometimes helped by dark chocolate or tea.

Coffee and caffeine are really bad for you when you have CFS. You’re running on FALSE ENERGY. Your body is reacting to a substance. When you have CFS your adrenals are very weak. In the end you’ll make your condition worse. 

I also have CFS but keeping a clean diet (no processed foods, lots of veggies) really made me feel so much better (I recently started eating junk again and I’m back at square one but am now back on that diet). I was sleeping all night. I had fatigue yes... but only until 4-5pm. After that I actually had energy to do things to the point I didn’t feel sick. My nausea went away. My pain went away. And I’m certain if I w So you can have a better life but you need to give your body what it needs rather than what you want. 

Sorry I meant to say I’m certain if I would’ve continued with my diet , eventually I would’ve healed. I’ve watched videos of people of what healed themselves of CFS with a very clean diet and staying stress free and away from toxic products. So it is possible. 

Hi Amanda, Please be careful as this can further damage your adrenal glands, and completely burn you out. Light yoga and stretching helps and taking care of your mental and physical self . Truly i know its awful to lose so much capacity ,but stimulants are not the answer. <3 Guava
