Is it CFS? So scared of my symptoms

For about a year now, I’ve started feeling fatigue on a cellular level after a SIBO kill protocol. It’s definitely been worse in some periods then others, and sometimes I’d forget it was there until I do something like take my son out all day on a day trip to a farm and walk all day and then the next day I just feel completely wiped out. I would normally rest and feel normal again and I chalked it up to having bad SIBO, gut dysbiosis and pretty bad OCD.

I was also not sleeping for at least 2 years for more than a few hours a night since having my son. So I assumed it was my body being exhausted from all that. My naturopaths seemed to be on the same page. Though, I had a really horrible flare up with my OCD around Christmas and I was in such a bad state, I went on meds and it took at least 5 months to get to a place where I wasn’t constantly on edge. I also had some terrible reactions to meds and had periods where anxiety was significantly worse at times and if have panic attacks.

I’ve been on a million different supplements from my naturopath and I’ve only been getting more new symptoms. Recently started getting histamine reactions. And my tiredness took a whole new turn. About a month ago, my son started prek and I’ve needed to take him in Monday-Friday, and walk to the bus stop for about half an hour to get home. He’s been very emotional and wants me to carry him etc and after two weeks on a Friday I found myself to be sooo exhausted I couldn’t keep my eyes opened.

That Saturday I went to do a 75 min sauna/cold plunge class with a friend which was probably stupid but I was too exhausted to think it through, and it took me a few hours to recover. I thought I was out of the woods, but then later that week a saw a chiropractor which left me wiped for jsut over a day which I know is kinda normal but then the following weekend we had my sons birthday party which sadly due to my unsupportive husband, I had to do absolutely everything myself. I was running around like a headless chook for a couple of days and pushing myself.

Then, come Monday, I completely crashed. I was SO weak at one point that day. At one point, my legs were shaking and I couldn’t hold myself up. I jsut needed to lie down. I made sure to get lots of sleep but I kept feeling exhausted. Like my body jsut couldn’t move and was heavy. Some mornings I seriously feel like I can’t feel my legs. My thighs feel like they’re not attached to my body and I jsut can’t feel them. I ended up calling an ambulance because it was literally feeling like it was too much effort even to talk at one point. A IV drip with electrolytes gave me a perk but that was only temporary. I’ve been stippling on electroytes since and trying to listen to my body. But it’s now almost two weeks and while I was making slow improvements, like I didn’t need to nap in the middle of the day and had longer windows of energy, I can feel it’s very sensitive

Yesterday, I walked for half a hour on a super slow, medatitiave walk and idk if it’s that or that my son woke me up a few times last night (though I slept in until midday) but today I feel completely wiped. Like, sitting and writing this post feels hard. I’m so scared because I want to leave my unsupportive husband (won’t go into that but he and his horrible family were the reason for me getting gut issues in the first place) but I cannot see how I could possibly work. I’m so scared too because my son is starting to feel my absence. I struggle to stay with him and take care of him. It’s beyond terrifying. I don’t have help either so it’s not like I can lean on anyone here.

I ran some tests a few months ago and HTMA showed extreme adrenal fatigue and that my body was burning through magnesium (probably because of the chronic stress from ocd) other tests also showed mitochondria dysfunction and very slow methylation and showed that my gut dysbiosis/SIBO/ candida wasn’t eradicated from the last kill protocol and was quiet bad. Whilst I know these are legit diagnosis I’ve been following my protocol so so carefully and I still had this crash. My naturopath says it’s adrenal fatigue but I read about CFS and I can’t help but feel like it could be that. I should also add that I’ve lost a lot of weight during this time and there’s so much undigested food when I go to the washroom ao it seems like my body isn’t absorbing much. I was diagnosed with PTSD after a sexual assault but I’m trying to work through all of these and it’s literally all I do besides caring for my son.

I’m scared because it jsut seems to be worsening or jsut not improving and it’s terrifying. I don’t have too much faith in naturopaths anymore sadly after bad experices with the last few so I’m struggling to take what he says as truth and think it’s best if I do my own research too. But anyways, idk what to do, where to start. I want to do another SIBO protocol but I’m sacred im too weak to do that but I can’t seem to be able to strengthen myself. Does anyone have any insight? Does this sound like CFS?
