fatigue

Recently my partner has been having this new issue where mid afternoon they feel like they've been hit by knockout gas. They nearly always fall asleep around 5- they ask me to wake them after an hour when this happens but they'll remain extremely drowsy and groggy all evening, alongside really...

Hey Ladies, For those questioning the safety of continuing HRT beyond age 60, a GINORMOUS new study came out recently. The Medicare health records of over 10 MILLION women over age 65 were followed between 2007-2020 with some pretty dang encouraging statistics in favor of continuing HRT...

Since depression is usually the first what doctors have on their minds when we tell them about our symptoms, I wonder if prescription antidepressants helped anyone here with their fatigue or pain? Some take them to improve their mood, sleep or anxiety, but do they really help with ME/CFS...

Pre-Pandemic Plasma IL-6 Levels are Positively Associated with Chronic Fatigue But Do Not Differentiate Those with COVID-19 Induced Fatigue Abstract Background – Fatigue is a prominent symptom in the general population and may follow infection with a number of viruses including SARS-CoV2...

I started getting sick 8 years ago. At that time we got married, had fist kid, moved into new house and got a new used car. My symptoms were fatigue and sinus pressure. My wife never really got sick. I got a sleep study and it was negative. A few years later I developed a slight dizziness...

I had gender-confirming top surgery back in March, and was very prepared to feel like absolute shit afterwards, as far as my suspected ME goes. Luckily, I didn't seem to crash during recover, or if I did, it was either rolling and I didn't notice beyond my daily typical symptoms - or because I...

I saw someone on Twitter make a post about how if they submerged the top of their heads in hot water for 7 minutes it relieves some of their symptoms. I've only tried this twice for PEM relief but I am noticing a difference. Will need to repeat a few times to make sure it's not a coincidence...

Hi everyone again. I just seen a neurologist and PVFS/ME/CFS specialist recently in the UK and the consultation went as well as it could have I will say. The doctor was very approachable, spent a good hour with me and was very thorough with his questions and observations. As some of you may...

Hi all, had some strange issues for several weeks now. I suffer from pretty bad food intolerances that seem to evolve over time. Three to four weeks ago I started to have strong dizziness, tingling hand, and feet, increased fatigue, and nausea. These symptoms last for several days but get...

This was the title on a diagram for a podcast I watched on Wednesday with guest Darren Schmidt (registration required to view https://microbeformulas.com/blogs/live-qa/episode-152). He added (or fine-tuned) all sorts of phrases in my arsenal as I circle the drain to move to another dimension of...

Hi I used to be severe and now am moderate. I believe recovery is possible but depends on many factors and it’s complex and wish each of u and myself only more improvement each day. I need advice please. Next week I have a 3 day meeting which I have to attend and I have to speak for half a day...

I've been ruminating a lot lately about the terms we use. I'm not advocating for changing anything, just to invite more thought about it. We all have experienced some of the challenges with using the word fatigue. Everyone is tired and drained, especially parents. It's too easy to consider it...

I'm wondering if licorice may be able to partially reduce the viral triggers of some mitochondrial fragmentation. I seem to be noticing increased energy when I dose it around 3/4 cup at 3x/day religiously. If you want to make a week's worth of licorice tea fill a fine meshed tea ball with one...

To answer this poll please find the selection that corresponds to how long you have ME and where your current highest sustainable activity level is and select it. Thank you.

I recently noticed something very interesting. I suffer from dry eye symptoms. I noticed that my dry eye symptoms correlate a lot with my fatigue and low mood. When my fatigue and mood is better my eyes feel better, if my feel dry I often feel tired and my mood is low. I'm not really sure what...

I am posting this because I have a strong feeling that it can help many others.For me neuroinflammation was/is the worst symptom. The manifestation is happening in many ways: Heavy feeling on head, similar to the feeling I have when I'm sick (which is very rare for the past years).A little more...

hello everyone, i hope you all doing good i read thread here someone said that L-carnitine helped them so i started taking it yesterday, the first day i took 1 pill 500mg, after 30 minutes i felt nice and comfortable feeling inside my body, but i did not felt energy the first day but there was...

So this is a puzzle that I'm trying to figure out. Before I got sick I could drink 3 energy drinks full of b vitamins and be totally fine. Now I can't take a low dose b complex without either going into a coma or having some bizarre fight or flight reaction. Literally a couple months after...

I started taking 1mg of methyl cobalamin recently. It really helps me with energy throughout the day but I always seem to have an extreme somewhere between 5-7pm. Is it safe for me to take a second 1mg methyl cobalamin around 5pm to potentially prevent the crash? Is this common? I'm sensitive to...

My fatigue and brain fog is mostly in the afternoon, it starts around 11:30am and gets better around 5pm. The worst part of the day is 2-5pm for me. I'm wondering if anyone else experiences the same? I searched around on the forum but couldn't find much about people having similar experiences...
