Hang in there and feel better! Fluid intake is crucial, as are vitamins, nutrients and probiotics. If you're feeling weak it could be due to a nutritional deficiency of some sort. After watching Michael Moore's Sicko, but I've lost all faith in the American mainstream medical community (well, I had little faith before that, but that film really seals it). You may also consider trying alternative remedies or visiting a naturopath. Books like "Prescription for Nutritional Healing" (basically the naturopath's desk reference) are invaluable in determining the causes of obscure ailments. I've personally found the following things to all be beneficial to my health: * Yoga / stretching / breathing exercises * Fasting / cleansing (e.g. psyllium husks or other purgative agents) * Taking probiotics to replenish the good bacteria that are killed by antibiotics (e.g. Threelac) * Drinking lots of water and herbal teas, including my favorite, Yerba Mate * Following advice from naturopathic and Ayurvedic books/sites/doctors on which foods to eat and avoid, in order to alleviate or avoid exacerbating medical conditions If you're having any psychological issues or psychosomatic reactions (i.e. physical reactions to mental state) then you may consider looking into hypnotherapy or neuro linguistic programming (NLP). Both have powerful techniques for changing your mental state and overcoming phobias, negative mindsets etc. Good luck, and I hope ya feel better! -Jonah Sorry to hear you’ve been having health issues.
