A Guide to A Journal for Healing

Before you begin taking Oxaloacetate CFS, regularly throughout your therapy, it is useful to track the improvement of your symptoms and share the data with your doctor and healthcare team.
Our newest journal, A Journal for Healing, is specifically designed to cater to the tracking of ME/CFS & Long Covid symptoms while taking Oxaloacetate CFS. The journal will include the Chalder Fatigue Scale. This is an essential tool for tracking improvements in energy levels among ME/CFS patients due to its clinical testing and comprehensive, patient-centered design.
But first, here is the latest report from our clinical trial of Oxaloacetate for ME/CFS used in a comprehensive, holistic measurement system to find that Oxaloacetate CFS,
- Improved fatigue by an average of 25%
- Improved fatigue by 63% in 40.5% of trial participants classified as “enhanced responders”
The Chalder Fatigue Scale, with its simple questionnaire format, assesses both physical and mental fatigue, allowing healthcare providers to understand a patient's fatigue severity and its impact on daily activities. This scale's reliability and validity make it a trusted instrument for clinical settings, ensuring that changes in a patient's condition are accurately captured over time. Regular use of the Chalder Fatigue Scale enables healthcare providers to tailor treatment plans more effectively.
A special note on the Chalder Fatigue Scale
The Chalder Fatigue Scale is often used in ME/CFS studies and is validated for mild and moderate ME/CFS fatigue. Very severe cases have a “ceiling effect” problem, in which the fatigue levels are too high to measure with the Chalder Fatigue Scale. If your Fatigue is severe, you may want to come up with an alternative method to quantitatively measure your fatigue. One way to do this is to take a favorite activity that you can do a bit now-- such as reading for “X” minutes, or being able to listen to music for “Y” minutes--- and measuring how “X” and “Y” changes on a weekly basis. Expect fluctuations with this, but the overall trend after several months will give you an idea of a change in fatigue.
Along with the Chalder Fatigue Score, we have also included a library of high-quality resources curated from the Centers for Disease Control, Research Institutions, Universities and CFS Patient Advocacy Organizations.
