The actual ingredients and dosage will vary with each person. Some of the dosages taken are quite high and must be monitored by testing.
Here are my BASIC indgredients:
Ubiquinol -300mg (Note: ubiquinol not regular coq10
PPQ
L-Carnitine
Super B Complex
Creatine
Vitimin E
Folic Acid
Then I take many other script meds for other CFS issues.

My doctor is Dr. Joseph Brewer in the Kansas City Area. He is almost impossible to get in to see as he is really not taking new patients.
My problem has been diagnosed as CFS caused by mitochondrial dysfunction. I was diagnosed with CFS at Mayo in Rochester after 10 days of diagnostics.The mito issue was discovered by Dr. Brewer and was probably caused or made worse by over 10 years of statin use. Brewer has me on a "mito" Cocktail which is nothing more than very high doses of unbiquinol, L-Cartine, Creatine, B Complex, PPQ and others. After three months, I am seeing improvement.
A very interesting program and he has several patients on it. You can read about mito and CFS at www.curemito.org and you can read about statin issues on www.spacedoc.com .

I was diagnosed with CFS and have had it for 3 years. I think that you will find that the symptoms will be dramatically different for each person. It is very important that you have doctors that really understand your case. Do not accept the answer that nothing can be done, because their are certain things that can be done, depeneding on your case. Yes, the pain can come and go, but it can stay for months or years. I have a great deal of cognitive and memory issues that are constant. But I am working with a great neurologist and CFS doctor.
I am currently on a trial program that seems to be helping me.View Thread

I have CFS (diagnosed by Mayo Clinic after extensive testing) and totally understand your concern. I have been on a CPAP for over 2 years with the last 6 months of that on a BIPAP. I use my machine every night. I don't want to discourage you at all, because apena can be very serious.I have had 3 full overnight sleep studies with oximetry and my BIPAP is set up ccorrectly. However, I can honestly say that it really did not help my fatigue at all. I am just recently become disabled bbecause of the CFS. So, it may or may not help you, but I encourage you get the apena checked out.
Good luch and wish you the best.View Thread
