Post Viral Fatigue and Reflexology

Hi all,
Doc says I have Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome - I feel like crap!
Any past/present sufferers - did/does reflexology help with the symptoms?
Thanks x

Hi Aphrodite, really sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with post viral fatigue syndrome. I had it in the late nineties - I didn't try reflexology but I did have acupuncture and it worked wonders. It's the one thing that made the biggest contribution to getting me back to full health again and I'd really recommend it, as long as you find a good practitioner (I can recommend someone brilliant if you're anywhere near Banbury! Sadly I now live elsewhere and the one acupuncturist I've tried here was useless ).

All the best with getting over this. Hope your doc has given you helpful advice about how to tackle it.

I have CFS & it is similar to PVF

I have regular weekly reflexology & I believe that it keeps the CFS away - this may be a false belief but it works for me

I have only had maybe 2 or 3 relapses since I started the Reflex, vs being 'quite' poorly all the time
