Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

But now I'm mostly worried about my daughter, who is a senior in high school.

I'm on disability, and we don't have enough money to get by. I think I want to work, but whenever I get up and do anything, like go to the supermarket or go shopping, or cook a big meal, I end up in bed for about three days.

I'm transcribing a recent conference on CFS/ME/CFIDS, and there is some interesting info in it. I haven't been keeping up with the research lately. But there is a school of thought, which may turn out to be the right one, that this disease is caused by exposure to a toxin, called the ciguatera epitope (because it is very close to the ciguatera toxin found in some ocean critters) and low level, background radiation, the kind probably left behind after all the testing that was done. This kind of makes sense to me because it could explain why the US government is so devoted to covering this disease up.

They've really been terrible about it.

I'll post what I find out that's interesting.
