Fatigue seems to be reducing

[Hopefulone]

I thought that I would quickly update you on how I am after my recent stroke. Luckily, I am feeling fairly good, and inexplicably fatigue seems to be reducing. It is puzzling how this could be happening,

I am not taking anything apart from the stroke medication prescribed by the hospital doctor.

That's great news!

So pleased for you.

I'm really happy for you!

I wonder if your stroke medication is somehow effecting the low grade neuro-inflammation ME/CFS researcher Jarred Younger and other researchers have found.

Jarred thinks this inflammation is the main cause of symptoms, including fatigue.

@Hopefulone, I'm very glad to hear this for you! Would you mind providing the name of the stroke medication you're taking?

 

[Hopefulone]

Thanks for your kind words.

I am taking:
Atorvastatin 80mg
1 per day
Perindopril 10mg
1 per day

I'm inclined to agree that immunosuppression like we saw from rituximab is decreasing the overall energy drain and you are perceiving that as lessened fatigue. Not sure it's a good thing long term though.
