acupuncture was one.
My Practitioner was Doctor Yu of herbs & acupuncture in Manchester UK. He was very supportive and reassuring and told me he
definitely could help, but I needed to be patient, as it would take a while.
I saw Dr Yu each week, initially for 6 weeks. At the end of 6 weeks I felt like I had turned the corner and felt elated , but realised
there was still a way to go. Gradually each week, I got a little better
• Firstly I got my short term memory back – and could read the sports pages!
• Then, gradually my concentration improved - and I could concentrate through a whole DVD.
• Thirdly - my physical stamina began to pick up so my self and my wife could go out a little more.
3 weeks ago, after a long period off absence, I returned to work on a part time basis. I hope to increase on a phased basis to a full
working week, I can’t tell you how happy that makes me feel after so long away!
To anyone who was sceptical like I was, I say try it for 6 weeks.
Monitor yourself objectively
•Mental focus – what can u read - newspaper /book?
•Mental stamina - how long can you read for?
•Physical stamina – how long can u walk for?
If you are not getting better, then stop, and try something else.
Good Luck!

I had been off work for 3 months and, each week there was less and less I could do. Firstly I had to
stop working, then driving more than a few miles became difficult, then reading became too hard,
until the best I could do was walk down stairs in the morning, and hope that if I rested for long
enough, I would have the energy to walk back up at night, unaided.
I had been diagnosed with CFS ( Post Viral / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ) by my GP and he was
sympathetic but he had no treatment to offer me apart from antidepressants. I said that I wanted to
get better, not feel happier about being unwell!
I had had a similar illness, 1 year before, but had overcome it over 4 months with a version of Graded
Exercise Therapy (GET).This time, this wasn't helping. In fact, after some very gentle exercise, for the
next 2 days I was too exhausted to leave the house.
