 Often confused with chronic Lyme or chronic fatigue syndrome. In truth, there are few differences....
-===== Symptoms =====
+=====Managing symptoms while on the Marshall Protocol =====
-  * cognitive dysfunction
-  * pain, physical
-  * depression
-  * muscle soreness
-  * sleep disturbance and insomnia
-  * other symptoms
+  * **[[home:symptoms:pain|Pain]]** – MP patients should always use 40mg of olmesartan (Benicar) every four hours before resorting to pain medications. However, when the usual strategies for managing immunopathology are not enough to control pain, MP patients rely upon pain medications. Except for corticosteroids, there is no pain medication contraindicated specifically because a patient is on the Marshall Protocol. Opioids are the preferred method of dealing with extreme pain in the MP cohort. //See article [[home:othertreatments:pain_medication|Pain medication and muscle relaxants]].//
+  * **[[home:symptoms:neurological:fatigue|Fatigue]]** – The systematic use of [[home:othertreatments:stimulants|stimulants]] to manage symptoms of fatigue is not recommended.
+  * **[[home:symptoms:neurological:sleep|Insomnia and poor sleep]]** – The inability to sleep or sleep deeply is a common symptom of chronic inflammatory disease and can be exacerbated during periods of immunopathology. Restful sleep can help a patient to cope with other symptoms. It is not necessary to get all one's restful sleep at night. In fact, if a patient can, sleeping during the day may give him or her enough energy to accomplish any responsibilities for the day. //See article, [[home:othertreatments:sleepmeds|Sleep medications]].//
+  * **[[home:symptoms:neurological:cognitive|Cognitive dysfunction]]** – Cognitive dysfunction (also known as brain fog) is the loss of intellectual functions such as thinking, remembering, and reasoning of sufficient severity to interfere with daily functioning. Patients with cognitive dysfunction have trouble with verbal recall, basic arithmetic, and concentration.
+  * **[[home:lifestyle:exercise|Physical activity and exercise]]** –  The choice to exert oneself through physical activity or exercise should be made in the light of the stage of one's disease and the effect that extra activity has on the immune system. In different patients under different circumstances, exercise is capable of either suppressing or increasing the immune response. MP patients who can perform their activities of daily living while recovering on the MP are as fit as they need to be. Their focus should be in regaining their health with the MP. With improved health will come improved abilty to exercise and increase endurance.
