Wish I could be as succint, Paul! Its an art I never mastered... I'm already on teh porridge, small meals regime and a big fan of nuts nad seeds too - all slow release stuff. IT does help with energy as you say, and makes eating easier - stomach refuses to accept large quantities of anything; if I eat 'too much' I wake up in middle of night with blinding headache and vomit helplessly for hours. grim. It only took 4 of these episodes before I changed eating habits! We've loooked at allergies of course on the back of this, but nothing shows up.
Chronic fatigue syndrome and PVS have been discussed but the fact I've got skyhigh blood pressure too means my GP is reluctant to go with it before checking some other issues. My dad had PVS for many years when I was in my teens - he sees me everyday and is convinced its not the same thing he had, but I guess these things will manifest differently in individuals?

Do you feel that excersise was important in getting through and over PVS?
How long did it take to get a diagnosis if you don't mind me asking? I feel at the moment that if at least I knew what I was dealing with I'd feel somehow 'better'....
