Re: Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker

I am living in Australia and have been suffering with what is thought to be chronic fatique syndrome folllowing a bacterial infection in Indonesia about 4 years ago- I have had gastro intestinal symptoms and headaches ever since- and in the past year developed muscle pain in my neck and sleep disturbance problems. In desperation, I have recently asked my GP to put me onto cholestyramine CSM after resading about the work of Dr Ritchie Shoemaker on line. For obvious reasons I cannot be treated by him. I have been on the CSM for nearly a week and after a bad first few days of headahes and nausea and itching, things seem to be settling. I do feel very fatigued but I read in the Dr's literature that this is usual when you start on the CSM. Will these reactions go away? I was wondering if anyone could help me with information on the treatment regime- how long I am likely to need to be on the CSM? Do I take 3 x 4g packs a day? How long before I might start feeling better if the CSM is going to work for me? Should I have started on the Actos? I think my headaches are fee Thanks in anticipation. Suzanne
