Many good suggestions here, which you probabaly have tried out many. CFS is debilitating. Here's another aspect/possibility to check out if you haven't before: MAGNESIUM. The "hidden epidemic" of low levels of magnesium. We DON'T get enough from our diet and a lot is not absorbed because of modern diet. Poor mineral levels in foods with modern farming etc. Numerous things slow down absorption, including too much calcium as it competes. Involved in 300 bodily processes and especially muscle and nerve conduction. Mentioned in relation to CFS. Worth giving supplementing a try. Just a thought, helped me with my heart arrythmias. Take care and hope you feel better real soon. Hi Ivan,

I am renting a cottage near the sea on the Isle of Skye for two weeks before going to Iona. In my solitude, I will be praying for you.

Thank you for emailing me and the other readers who subscribe to Poetry Chaikhana to let us know about the health problems you’re struggling with nowadays. I’m very sorry to know you are not doing too well. Energy is no doubt one of our most precious assets and making changes in our routine to recharge our batteries is a very sensible course of action. Indeed your priority at the moment should be to work less, do less and focus on improving your health. Although I subscribed to the site just some days ago, I confess that when I noticed I had stopped receiving poems, it made me kind of sad and disappointed. I just love the element of surprise and novelty, and the possible synchronicity of the poem with our current life situations. I will be very happy the day my inbox once again continues getting visits from Poetry Chaikhana. In the meantime, I know I can access the site and browse at my leisure. If only the day had thirty six hours : ) About the chronic fatigue problem you are going through at the moment, I’m aware that health-related issues have many facets and one must be careful before paying heed to general, one-size-fits-all get-well recipes. In any case, based on the knowledge I have been able to gather thus far in this lifetime, I suggest a vegetarian/vegan diet with special emphasis on fresh raw foods - heat and processing harm and destroy many nutrients. Don’t forget to include some sort of physical exercise, meditation, breathing, contact with nature, good music, nurturing relationships, laughter, gratitude Speaking of which, thank you for the lovely lines by Rumi. Hope you get better soon! Take care of yourself, Gisele Dear Ivan,
