Chronic fatigue

I have been suffering with this for a long time. No one has really dignoised me with it. I am going through menopause and suffer with fatigue... I am taking Echinaccea drops and I hope it will work. A chinese remedy is something called Reishi and I havent used it yet. Licorice is good but not with high blood pressure, pregant, thyroid, liver, kidney or heart trouble. I dont think this is really that good if you cant take it. I am not pregant but it limits the tastey stuff to a no forever if you ask me..A native Amercian remedy is Lomatium. Looking it up it's not one I'd use. St. John's Wort treats depression and improves appetite and energy levels and calms anxiety. I havent tried any other of those that I have mentioned but I know time is a factor in all of this.
I had a bad flu bug a few weeks ago and went to the ER. I had a fever and aches, cough and pains and sore throat for 2 weeks. I didnt have the swine flu fear but nothing I took would really work to help me. I went and got Echinacea drops and it helped some. I think it really has helped my fatigue. I will continue to take it. I still after 3 weeks had a cough so I started taking claritin again. It has improved my illness. I hope anyone who has the flu symptoms can figure out if its the human flu or swine flu. Maybe finding out is the best and getting extra help from your doctor can be the best thing to do.

The Stop Snoring Exercise Program

3 minute Stop snoring

This is the best exercise I know to relax and exercise the jaw muscles. It is so simple and you can do it anywhere you are.
Simply close your mouth and act like you are chewing gum. Chew like this for a minute or so at a time.
To do the exercise right make sure your molars on both sides move apart, and then touch lightly again. Also notice that your lips are supposed to be closed the whole time.
This exercise is pretty easy on your jaw because you are not actually chewing anything, but you might still feel a little bit sore in the beginning. Just take it easy (maybe chew for only a few seconds in the beginning) and then increase the time you exercise.
You can make a "mmm" sound as you chew. This will open the throat better. Making a "mmm" sound is not necessary but will boast up the exercise.
good luck
