I was reading http://unjobs.org/authors/jay-a.-goldstein and the list on how to apply for disability when I realized that
95% of the symptoms of Chornic Fatigue Syndrome applies to me. So if CFS can be treated, then we can find solution as well!
Was reading here a while ago someone talking about not having a fingerprint any more. I thought it can be only explained by excessive trackpad use but was wrong: it is caused by athropy of the fingers....and it is on the CFS list as well...
The author is Jay A Goldstein and he wrote an excellent book titled Betrayal of the Brain. I got interested in investigating further because I believe that his approach can benefit/cure (?) my condition. I find it unmanageable that after a day's work I have to spend the next in bed for example, so I need to find some solution.
Here is another section from an article about his book/approach:
I use medications which target one particular receptor and administer them in nasal sprays and eye drops. They attach to receptors on nerves in the head and may cause a patient to feel better, or sometimes worse, within seconds. I then may use other rapidly acting medications which affect the same, or related, receptors. My goal is that the patient feels completely normal. He/she remains in the office trying selected medications in succession until all symptoms resolve. This result requires an average of three office visits, but may occur in two seconds or two years."
There are several medications that have proven to be very useful for patients who have been bedridden for a year or longer. Dr. Goldstein calls these his "resurrection cocktail." A main component of this "cocktail" is ketamine administered intravenously or through a gel. Other components provided intravenously are ascorbate, lidocaine, and thyrotropin-releasing hormone. Nimotop and Neurontin, both administered orally, are also included in the list of medications most likely to aid CFS patients. http://www.prohealth.com/...fm?id=4351&t=CFIDS_FM
Maybe we should seek help from someone who understands CFS!
