I am wondering from those of you who have had lots of healing,
how long did it take before the exhaustion was gone. Is that one of the hardest things to be rid of? (This is "hit by a truck and groggy tiredness" after being up in the AM a few hours).

And is there a medicine for this?

It will stay until you get your B-12 and folate levels where they need to be. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as supplementing with those agents.

Hi Georgia Hunter what do you suggest ? I am supplementing. Is there something else we can do ?

It depends on where your methylation pathway is obstructed. You may benefit more from hydroxy-B-12, methyl-12, or adenosyl-B-12. Methyl-B-12 could also cause more problems than good.

I can't speak for you but for me, my issue originates in the ornithine cycle and backs up the rest of the cycles. I have determined that my parasite binds ornithine decarboxylase and increases putrescine synthesis. It's a viscous feedback loop that can not be easily broken. Many of you may have MTHFR, CBS, COMT, or other mutations that cause the problems. Unless you know what your genes are, it's just a guess. If I suffered like you all suffer, I'd find out what my genes were and go from there.

Without taking anything away from what Georgia Hunter is saying - don't forget that thyroid and adrenal issues (which we often have) will also create a lot of exhaustion. Please be sure to have them checked!!

Exactly Traveler. My theory is that metals accumulated by pathogens are what cause the thyroid issues and that is why there is often an auto immune component to thyroid disorder. The adrenal issues have been shown to come from the metals, especially aluminum. I have adrenal problems from my protozoa.

My own fatigue levels only returned under heavy ABXs and then only when combined with a well rounded protocol:

1) Nutrition (anti Candida, anti inflammation and Paleo Diet basically)
2) Ocean of supplements and herbs (to tackle the disease itself, but also my MTHFR gene defect as Georgia mentioned)
3) Probiotics and more probiotics
4) Weekly Enemas
5) Exercise (yes, I know its tough to do when you are already fatigued but its critical).
6) Sleep

Ive been experimenting with all of these one by one and have found that if any one thing is missing, Ill slowly spiral down and have almost no energy to do anything. Ive tried to "cheat" and for me its all related.

Of my supplements, Ive found Siberian Ginsing, Coffee, B12, Co-Q10 and Magnesium to be the most effective at helping my energy levels. Siberian Ginsing is very safe, widely studied and can really help to start a good exercise routine if you are lacking the energy or too sick with this darn disease. It sounds crazy, but you have to exercise in order to get energy to exercise.

Im also drinking lots of purified, alkaline water and this played a tremendous role too.
