Physical Exhaustion is what started me on my own healing quest.  There had been an incredible amount of stress in my life, but I thought that I was handling things very well - until one day my body just shut down.

I couldn’t do anything!  I wasn’t in any pain.  I was just so exhausted taht it was almost too much effort to even breathe.  I alternated between my bed and the couch for three months! 

The doctor said that I was depressed and put me on Prozac.  Before taking the Prozac, I hadn’t been able to do anything physically but my mind was alert and I did a lot of reading.  On Prozac, I just stared at the ceiling.  So after three days, I flushed the pills down the toilet.

I was told that I was getting older and would have to settle for a limited lifestyle.  I was 48 years old.  That was not an answer I was willing to accept.  So I started looking for answers.  And I looked outside of Western Medicine because they couldn’t help me.  For eight years I studied Alternative Health and Energy Medicine.  I took many different courses, found my answers and got my health back.

I read a report, wirtten on November 21st, 2006 on Dr. Mercola’s website on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (which is probably what I had).  Here is an excerpt from that report: “Two new studies suggest that traumatic events in childhood as well as stress at any period in life, has been associated with the development of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.  Traumatic events, stress and negative emotions not only contribute mightily to the development of CFS, but they can also affect your overall physical health in general.”
