I've just signed up for a months treatment at the Merlin Centre, St Austell. I was wondering if anyone else has tried the treatment?<br />
If so how did the results go?<br />

I've been diagnosed with CFS/ME by my G/P  in June having been poorly since Nov last year and have an appointment in Oct with Mr Pinching.

<br />
My name is Gabby,I live in Cornwall.Have suffered with Fibromyalgia and ME for over 7 years,but only diagnosed 2 years 8 months ago,after many many tests ect<br />
The Professor diagnosed me with FM/ME  because he thinks (and me thinks) that the pain I suffer gives me the ME part of my condition.<br />
I was just relieved to be diagnosed,I was fed up not being able to tell my Family and Friends what exactly was wrong with me !!<br />
Glad I found the Forum,wandered over from the Mesh Site.<br />

As our days go,please try and have a good day ,<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Having had m.e. for about twelve years now, diagnosed for eight and suffered during those years greatly, i have decided i am going to recover.<br />
I will post anything here that I have tried in the hope that it will help someone else.<br />
<br />
1. Get B12 tested. <br />
I finally had mine tested last year and found I was deficient and after having injections my brain fuzziness was better and my bone pain in my legs has gone. If your doctor is willing to try you on B12 injections maybe worth giving a go as it may help some symptoms and you cannot overdose on B12. Get tested and ask for the result with the reference range.<br />
<br />
2. Get thyroid tested.<br />
 preferably TSH, free T3 and free T4 and reverse T3 if possible, ask your doctor, he may do it, but most likely to do only TSH. Get tested regularly, about evry six months, mine has just gone into 'hypo' range and was tested four months ago.<br />
<br />
3.Rest.<br />
Rest is so important, proper lie down under the duvet type rest, no sensory input at all.<br />
<br />
4. Relaxation/meditation<br />
Initially I did 4 a day, half hour guided meditations on a cd.<br />
Once a day is a good thing to keep up.<br />
<br />
5. Sleep<br />
At least 8 hours good sleep a night, I need 9 to 10 hours, preferably the same time every night.<br />
<br />
More to come.<br />
  <br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
My name is Laura Harrison, I am 27 years old and live near Truro (about 10 minutes away). I have been to see Professor Pinching a on the 4th March 210 and was diagnosed with possible ME/CFS and sever Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). <br />
<br />
I haven't been very well with it for the last 18 months, was hospitalised on May last year for a week because I wasn't eating was very unwell, I had lots of tests to rule out other problems they thought it could be like Chrones Disease, and eventually a different consultant mentioned ME/CFS and was referred to Prof Pinching, who I found was very helpful.<br />
<br />
 So the last 18th months plus hasn't been very nice for me. Also last Sunday while watching my partners 7 year old son play football I ended up collapsing but luckily there was a paramedic (off duty) there who was also watching his son play football, he said my blood pressure went really low, not sure if this is part of ME/CFS or just one of those things.<br />
<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
My name is Laura Harrison, I am 27 years old and live near Truro (about 10 minutes away). I have been to see Professor Pinching a on the 4th March 210 and was diagnosed with possible ME/CFS and sever Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). <br />
<br />
I haven't been very well with it for the last 18 months, was hospitalised on May last year for a week because I wasn't eating was very unwell, I had lots of tests to rule out other problems they thought it could be like Chrones Disease, and eventually a different consultant mentioned ME/CFS and was referred to Prof Pinching, who I found was very helpful.<br />
<br />
 So the last 18th months plus hasn't been very nice for me. Also last Sunday while watching my partners 7 year old son play football I ended up collapsing but luckily there was a paramedic (off duty) there who was also watching his son play football, he said my blood pressure went really low, not sure if this is part of ME/CFS or just one of those things.<br />
<br />
Hope everyone else is ok and hopefully will get to know some of you. Also will be attending the next meeting in St Austell on the 20th April at 6.30 pm which Prof Pinching will be doing a talk.<br />
<br />
Speak to you soon. <img src="http://meshcornwall.org/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /><br />

			<description><![CDATA[For the past threeish years, my GP and Oncologist had taken blood tests for symptoms and as with others comments, they came back fine each time.  Finally, a few weeks ago I was told I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (I will refer to it as M.E).  Syndrome means many symptoms and I can't help thinking there must be an underlying problem causing all these symptoms, find that, treat it and just maybe, M.E. can actually be cured.<br />
<br />
I visited a food allergist today for help with a nasal drip problem.  She had to stop testing (using kinesiology) after about five substances because I was showing sensitivity to everything and my arm was so weak.  She did repeat the test with my husband's help but had the same results.  She said (which my GP warned me she would) I had candida.<br />
<br />
I've spent the afternoon researching candida and am amazed at the similiaraties of symptoms with M.E..  I know researching M.E. it says those with M.E. usually have candida too, so my questions to you are:<br />
<br />
1.  Have you or do you know anyone who has/had M.E. but has also been treated for candida and recovered?  <br />
<br />
2. Has anyone been treated for candida whilst also being diagnosed with M.E. but continued to have symptoms of M.E.?  <br />
<br />
3.  Has anyone else been tested for candida?<br />
<br />
4.  Does the NHS recognise candida (can not find much information on the NHS website and nothing on the NICE website, which indicates they don't)?<br />
<br />
I can not help wondering; what if M.E. is candida but just with another name.  It's treatable so surely thousands of us would not have to spend months/years feeling ill.  Maybe I am just being hopeful because as one member said, "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired".  Although, I must admit on one hand I'm grateful for a diagnosis but on the other I am dismayed. <br />
<br />
If anyone else has any experiences or comments, they would be greatly appreciated.]]></description>

After years of m.e. diagnosis, I went back to my doctor with the normal 'I am sick and tired of being sick and tired'. She did some more blood tests not expecting anything to show,but one came back positive. It seems I have a vitamin B12 deficiency. Since having my injections, I now have to have one every three months, my brain has come back! and the awful bone pain in my lower legs has disappeared. The injections have helped a lot, although not solving other problems, it has helped me to come up a level.<br />
I checked with my nurse and apparently I had never had a B12 test in all the time I had been diagnosed, which I consider a disgrace. And not one health professional had asked me, or suggested that I might have one! So I am letting you all know my story just in case it may help someone out there. Don't presume that just because the doctor has done some blood tests that they have tested you for B12. Check and get it done.It just may help.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi i'm Sharon i've had cfs/m.e/fibro for 5 years, i only found out about MESH a week ago, i'm pretty much stranded not able to leave the house very often and i have a disabled husband too, Professor Pinching diagnosed me after 3 years of fighting with my g.p as to what was wrong with me, sadly i still believe my gps are not at all understanding if they believe the diagnosis at all <img src="http://meshcornwall.org/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Sad" title="Sad" />.<br />
I believe mine started after a really bad flu bug and my husband being on life support for many weeks, i totally burnt out and never got back up again. This is such a lonely illness and although i pace i spend each day pretty much alone, i think my husband is finding it hard to understand just what really is going on even tho we did a course, so i still feel like i cannot talk about it much. I feel very embarrassed when i have to tell anyone about my illness because so many people including gps look at me as if i'm making it all up :dodgy, its just not fair. I have now sent my membership off to MESH and i hope things change a bit, it will be nice to speak to people that understand me.<br />
