Hi Guys,
Really appreciate some healing for my daughter - she has had a virus since December and it is draining her of energy.
She is 15 and is having so much time off school it is getting quite worrying. The school contacted me before the easter break to find out what is going on.
Her name is Isabelle - I am wondering if anything has happened at school but she says not.
Thanks in advance for your help

Poor thing. Has she been tested for ME? I understand that this can start after contracting a virus. Once she has had a proper diagnosis of why she is so drained then steps can be taken to help her.
Sending you both a big Reiki hug and lots of positive energy to lift her spirit and her energy levels.
Love and light

Healing and positive thoughts coming to your daughter.
have her tested at the doctors because underactive thyroid can also mask these problems.
take care
Thanks - yes, she has been tested for practically everything! She had a lump under her chin which we were told was a cyst, but I am not sure.
Doctor on Monday said has to be over 6 months before they say it is ME...
She needs a boost of something!
Sounds like ME/CFS/ post viral syndrome. Have a look at the web sites like www.meassociation.org.uk www.afme.org.uk www.mecfsparents.org.uk all of which have very useful information. There's a lot more info out there now than there was when I went down with it.
A nutritional therapist (see www.bant.org.uk ) can help advise which supplements can help and what foods can help too - often food intolerances are involved.
Basically it's a failure of the mitochondria in the cells to produce energy - a very complicated process - and if any of the nutrients are missing or enzymes are rendered inactive by whatever cause then exhaustion results and many other symptoms are involved. For each person the cause and result may be different as we are each bio-individual - ie not one 'size' fits all, so this baffles the doctors. They are at last beginning to find biological irregularities, but there is no specific test for it yet, hence the 6 month wait for diagnosis. Epstein Barr virus has been implicated in many, especially teenagers and young people.
Some still persist in saying it's all psycological - that makes me furious :mad:!! I was nearly at the top of my career and enjoying every moment of it and was pole-axed, so lost my career and shut down my life for 10 years - not a place I would ever choose to be.
Other routes to try are EFT, guided by a therapist (see www.aamet.org for one near you), also The Lightening Process and Reverse Therapy, neither of which I have experience with but I have heard good report of.
Find out as much as you can about it all as that puts you more in control.
I wish your daughter well and a speedy recovery. Meanwhile Love and healing for Isabelle on the way ...
