If you think you might suffer from CFS please go to Dr. Sarah Myhill’s webpage for more information. She offers a free book which explains which supplements are needed specifically for CFS. And what hormone tests should be used to assess those needs.

But since you mentioned that your husband is “living on the edge of maintaining adequate energy”, I thought I’d recommend the book “Defeat Chronic Fatigue” by Martha Kilcoyne. It’s the best book by far I’ve ever read. It’s written both for the patient and the friend or spouse — only 108 pages long. She was sick for “only” about 4-5 years, but nearly bedridden, until she and her husband worked out a schedule that made sure she got enough rest. And a LOT of it. To make a long story short, after a year or so doing this (and taking a few meds) she was better. Three years later, she celebrated her newfound health by climbing Mt. KILIMANJARO.

Here’s a link to an interview with her:

Mike’s health has been periodically so bad in the past, that he needed to take short term disability sometimes from his full-time job as an electronics technician. So far this year, he has needed no short-term disability, and is only very occasionally so fatigued that he has to miss a day of work.

WE have learned slowly that he must take ALL the recommended supplements (by Dr. Myhill) very seriously, even the D-Ribose every three hours (six times a day). Mike has been living right on the edge of maintaining adequate energy, and any extra stressor (like my recent accident) can put him over that edge very easily!

Good Luck,
