Hi
I hope someone can help me...i have had Chronic fatigue for 3 years now, i am 15 stone. I have been going to a dietician and following the diet exactly, but i sometimes find it very difficult to exercise, the dietician told me that due to my having CFS my metabolic rate is really, really low, she says the only way to improve this, is to exercise more, but she doesn't understand that it is sometimes impossible for me to do this, as i honestly don't have the energy, a catch 22 situation! Does anyone know of any supplements that would help me to increase my metabolic rate? Please my weight is depressing me.
Aileen

Aileen -
I can surely sympathize with your situation. You see, 3 years ago (when I was 33) I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. As it does not make one as tired as a person with CFS, it does cause tiredness, fatigue and extreme joint pain. I weighed 250 pounds when I was diagnosed.
Through the help of my dietician, I've been able to lose 91 pounds in 19 months, and yes, I've learned to exercise.
The main thing here is not to push yourself too hard. When I first started exercising, I could hardly walk 1/4 a mile without pain. Now, I walk 4-5 miles a day - no pain.
Baby steps - even walking to the next house and back is a good start, then go from there.
