Man, Aged 51, Chronic Fatigue.
I am a 51 year old male and until 2 years ago I worked in IT but I am now retired, but not through illness.
The problem started in early 2001 and the symptoms were similar to Flu, mainly aching legs and tiredness. This meant that it was difficult to walk and I had difficulty concentrating on what I need to do, i.e. working was a nightmare.
I tried many remedies, everyone seems to have their own for this type of illness, before consulting the doctors. My own doctor tried mainly resting as a remedy. This was partly successful but it wasn't preventing it happening again within a couple of weeks. This was when the doctor referred me to a consultant at a local hospital and after undergoing many tests he diagnosed it was a virus that was causing Chronic Fatigue. It was believed that I had contacted the virus on holiday when I was taken ill in the USA at Easter 2000.
His treatment was to give me 4 weeks off work and do nothing, sitting putting my feet up, I couldn't read or do anything mentally taxing all I was allowed to do was watch day time TV!!. This worked for a short time but after a few months the symptoms started recurring and I was back to square one. This continued throughout my working life and into retirement until December 2006 when my wife suggested that I try the Bowen Treatment.
I was prepared to try anything but again I was sceptical as I had tried everyone else's treatments and the hadn't worked. After the initial treatment I felt completely wiped out for a few days and very thirsty, but after my second treatment I was feeling much better and being very surprised at the speeds of the reaction. After the third treatment I was feeling back to normal and I hadn't felt this good in ages. Now 5 months after treatment the problem hasn't recurred which is unusual in itself and I would like to think that I am cured but maybe it is a little early for that yet.
