Unable to work, Tansy has been struggling with the debilitating disease of the nervous system, M.E since October 2003, when initially she began to feel exhausted for no good reason and then developed flu-like symptoms two weeks later. The illness continued almost continuously for the next three years. "The food intolerance test was the first part of the jigsaw puzzle for me, it allowed me to start piecing together exactly what was causing my illness", she says....."It gave me a good starting point from which to work from, and a belief that I really could get better". The medical profession had told us over and over again that this illness is incurable and that we just had to learn to live with it. But I refused to accept that and refused to face the possibility that I may be ill for the rest of my life.... she adds.
