7 Subtypes of CFS
Here’s a great abstract about genomic studies that found different subgroups of CFS patients. It studied the gene expression of 88 Chronic Fatigue patients.
“Clinical features of each subtype were as follows: subtype 1 (cognitive, musculoskeletal, sleep, anxiety / depression); subtype 2 (musculoskeletal, pain, anxiety / depression); subtype 3 (mild); subtype 4 (cognitive); subtype 5 (musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal); subtype 6 (postexertional); subtype 7 (pain, infectious, musculoskeletal, sleep, neurological, gastrointestinal, neurocognitive, anxiety / depression). ”
Recently ive been hearing alot of people talk about “amydala retraining” for the treatment of CFS. Ashok Gupta, the creator of the Gupta Amygdala Retraining course, claims an 85% cure rate for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The DVDs cost $190 if you live in the U.S. He states that this treatment is not Cognative Behavioral Therapy, Reverse Therapy, or Pacing Therapy.
One of the things that helps me the most is the hydroxocobalamin form of sublingual B-12. My genetic testing showed me that the hydroxocobalamin form would be more beneficial to me than the methylcobalamin form (I have noticed that the methyl version is overstimulating for me). B-12 helps me with all symptoms, including brain fog which is my main problem. Even though I and other CFS patients may not be B-12 deficient, I have read that most CFS sufferers will respond favorably to B-12.
