WE CONSULTED TWO PHYSICIANS WHO DIAGNOSED POST VIRAL FATIGUE AND PRESCRIBED VITAMINS.

A RHEUMATOLOGIST DIAGNOSED FIBROMYALGIA AND PRESCRIBED A DRUG WHICH WAS USED FOR MALERIA.and an anti depressant. We didn�t pursue this

Antibiotics would make Rose feel much worse. She was prescribed them for various sinus infections over this period.

We also consulted physiotherapists and homeopaths
