I’m based in Leicestershire, UK, and need a good NHS doctor, sympathetic and knowledgeable about fibromyalgia / chronic fatigue syndrome. Any suggestions how/where I might be able to access one?

Really sorry you have this, can’t really help, but in our area its impossible to find anyone who has an interest. My consultant saw me once told me to adjust my life style to cope and then signed me off. had some hydrotherapy and then was sent to a fitness classs which I declined because there was no way. No one seems to understand the nature of this awful illness.

I have a stressful job and have also had difficulty getting quality sleep for a few years now. I am tired every day and wake up tired. I have been experiencing gradual symptoms over time. I am now tired, lightheaded, have discomfort behind my eyes, have trouble focusing at times, have weakness and general malaise. I also suffer with seasonal allergies and frequently have congested sinuses during the night and early morning hours. Are these symptoms consistant with Chronic fatigue syndrome? Please advise. Thank you.

Stress can do so many strange things to the body! As for your sleeping, there are 3 new medications available that are not habit-forming. Ambien CR not only puts you to sleep, but KEEPS you asleep. The other two are Lunesta and Rozerem.
I think it’s time for you to see a doctor and tell him/her exactly what you wrote in your question. I really think there IS help for you. Good luck!

I notice I have been sleeping a lot, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and been using the cipap machine however its been over 2 weeks and I haven’t seen any results, now I am starting to think its chronic fatigue syndrome. How do i know if i have it? and what are the symptoms?

I too found out that I had sleep apnea. When I started the CPAP machine I thought all the symptoms would magically disappear, however, they did not. One dr. explained to me that these symptoms were there for a long time and would take a long time to overcome. This helped me put it in perspective and I found it was much closer to 2 – 3 months before I felt any recovery from the interrupted sleep caused by the untreated sleep apnea. Try to use your CPAP even when you take a nap during the day. The sypmptoms of Chronic Fatigue are very much like those of untreated sleep apnea. So give the CPAP treatment much longer to take affect before delving into another diagnosis. You have enough on your hands right now – I know because I’ve been there.

I am sure I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and it is causes me problems with working 40 hours a week as it is very hard. Is this a disability and do alot of people suffer from this?

Like many things with the government or agencies that a person has to deal with in regards to disability, there is some very important verbage that they apply.

The big question is….Can you sustain, ongoing GAINFUL employment? Many doctors do not even know this and they are the ones that have to verify that disability exists. Many are unwilling to even write out that some one is partially disabled as they are then conducting a disability evaluation.

You need to find a Dr. who really understands the disease process and who is able to make a functional anaylisis of how you are afffected on a day to day, continuing basis.

Employers are bound under the ADA guidelines to try to make REASONABLE accomodations for your needs and a Dr. must give them specific criteria as to what that accomodation must entail: lifting restrictions, sitting or standing parameters, need for adaptive equipment, etc. The double edged sword here is whether or not they are able to make those accomodations.

It may be determined that your current employment is not appropriate to your needs but that you could still find a job that you could do. This is usually made by a rehabilitation evaluator and their job is to keep people working. There is no guarantee that they will not say that you can do SOMETHING for a full time job so it can get very tricky.

Go to http://www.FatLossLifeStyle.com & I will teach YOU little known Nutrition Principles that will force you to gain muscle & lose fat faster than ever.

I started passionately studying what lean people were doing in 1981 because my waistline was 40 inches. I have learned a lot since then. I am now in the best shape of my life at the age of 44.

My waistline is now 31 inches. Nutrition is 60-70% of your fat loss / muscle gain program. Follow me & I will teach you exactly how to eat for your body type, activity level, starting point, & your goals.

You can work-out till your blue in the face but if you do not incorporate Interval Cardio (done first thing in the morning in a fasted state), intense functional multi-joint, compound exercises, small healthy meals often with protein and carbs combined together, positive mindset, goal setting & social support (you will turn into who you hang around) you will not change your body much.

But if you do focus on the 5 pillars of fitness & health, you will radically change your waistline, your lifestyle, and your life.

YOUR ATTITUDE WILL DETERMINE YOUR ALTITUDE (how high you go in life) YOUR WAISTLINE DETERMINES YOU ATTITUDE

GET A BETTER BODY; GET A BETTER LIFE!!

The main reason to workout abs is because strong abs will stabilize your lower back and prevent you from an injury; but as a side benefit a 6-pack looks great! Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding.

Bodybuilding doesn’t have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A couple of rubber bands & some good exercises is all it takes to get started with your home workouts.

You do not need any equipment. In fact most of the clubs are wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars on equipment that is making peoples bodies less functional and worse off. I highly advice you to pick one mentor at a time, limit your information, train hard & smart, and expect success!!

Released: September 1973.On Let’s Get It On, Marvin Gaye articulated love and in ways that presented sex as what it is for adults, a temporary escape from the world. Not until Prince’s “1999″ (the single, not the album) did someone articulate the dichotomy between social awareness and personal necesities more succinctly. Let’s Get It On was a bit more conventional musically (soul crossing into mild funk) and much more focused lyrically than it’s predecessor, What’s Going On. The record is about loneliness, about ego, about all that goes into someone’s mind when he or she is trying to make another person matter. Let’s Get It On takes place in a bedroom, but it’s about more than the act itself. As much as What’s Going On, the album is about fitting into a perfect community. It’s impossible to choose one album over the other. After brilliantly surveying the social, political, and spiritual landscape with What’s Going On, Marvin Gaye turned to more intimate matters with Let’s Get It On, a record unparalleled in its sheer sensuality and carnal energy. Always a sexually charged performer, Gaye’s passions reach their boiling point on tracks like the magnificent title hit (a number one smash) and “You Sure Love to Ball”; silky and shimmering, the music is seductive in the most literal sense, its fluid grooves so perfectly designed for romance as to border on parody.
