How Oxaloacetate Transformed Amanda's ME/CFS Healing Journey

We're so thankful to Amanda for sharing her inspiring story of discovering Oxaloacetate CFS and it's crucial role in her ME/CFS healing and recovery. You can watch Amanda's full video interview on Spotify and YouTube and read about her journey below. 

Living with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) can feel like navigating an unpredictable storm. For Amanda, the journey started in 2017, when her health began to slip away without warning, leaving her struggling to find answers. Four long years later, she was finally diagnosed with ME/CFS in 2021, a revelation that came with its own set of challenges.

Battling a Silent Storm

In the early stages, Amanda faced significant hurdles in getting medical professionals to take her symptoms seriously. Fatigue, a common and often trivialized symptom, masked the severity of her condition. Doctors would tell Amanda, “Being tired all the time is common,” she explains, “it had so many symptoms that overlapped with other illnesses.” From clinical trials to holistic treatments, Amanda’s quest for clarity and relief became an expensive and exhaustive journey.

Once an active and multitasking individual, Amanda found herself overpowered by basic tasks and trapped in a cycle of despair. The mental toll was undeniable, as she struggled with depression and found it difficult to reconcile her inability to perform tasks she once took for granted.

Discovering Oxaloacetate: A Turning Point

The real breakthrough came after Amanda connected with online support groups and forums. Amidst these communities, she learned about Oxaloacetate CFS, a medical food researched for its fatigue reducing benefits for those with ME/CFS and Long COVID. Although initially skeptical, due to past disappointments with other treatments, Amanda's curiosity was piqued.

Working with her doctor, she started cautiously with a lower dose of 500 mg but found her true turning point with the 1,000 mg dosage of Oxaloacetate CFS. “I was almost in tears. It was so different. All of a sudden, I had this energy and could think clearly for the first time in so long,” Amanda recounts with palpable relief.

The Impact of Oxaloacetate CFS

For Amanda, oxaloacetate didn’t just alleviate physical symptoms—it transformed her entire outlook. It gave her back the mental clarity and creativity she feared might have been permanently lost. Remarkably, after nearly a year of consistent use, Amanda continues to benefit from oxaloacetate without the common pitfalls associated with other treatments. Unlike stimulants or caffeine, it hasn't prompted unwanted side effects or a false sense of energy. “It doesn’t feel artificial,” Amanda shares. Instead, she describes it as a “natural energy” that supports her daily life and resilience.

Oxaloacetate's ability to help Amanda regain her cognitive function and energy has enabled her to rediscover parts of herself she thought were gone forever. By restoring these crucial elements of her life, oxaloacetate has not only helped Amanda manage her ME/CFS symptoms but has also empowered her to return to work and pursue her passions again.

Continuing the Journey

Amanda’s experience with oxaloacetate encapsulates the profound impact of finding the right treatment at the right time. Her story highlights the importance of patient advocacy and staying informed about the latest research and treatment options. “I wish I would’ve known about it sooner.”

Looking Ahead

As Amanda considers exploring varying doses, she maintains open communication with her healthcare providers to ensure it aligns with her overall treatment plan. Her story serves as a beacon of hope for those grappling with ME/CFS, showcasing the transformative potential of oxaloacetate and the power of perseverance in overcoming health challenges.

Amanda’s journey proves that with the right support and treatments, there is always reason for ME/CFS patients to maintain hope and positivity.
