Hello everyone,
I have a really fantastic pain specialist I see (although she's moving to another state in a few months which makes me very sad). I saw her a few days ago and told her how the fatigue I deal with every day is far more debilitating than the pain is. She said she would look up good supplements in her special doctors-only database, which also shows her clinical trials performed, and which herbs have scientific evidence supporting their claims.
She called today to suggest rhodiola, 300 mgs once a day. Even though I've done a lot of research into helpful herbs and supplements, I hadn't run across that one yet, so I wanted to share the info in case it helps anyone else. I ordered two bottles of it today, and if I notice any improvements, I'll let you all know. This is the specific brand she recommended:

the only supplement my doc was ever worried about was valerian. he did not like the liver toxicity reported in trials. but each supplement/herb is different, so I hope you can find another doc who will help in this way.
Right now I am taking coq10, fatigued to fantastic daily supplement, zinc, selenium, magnesium malate. I have other health issues, but they all stem from the cfs-thats what started all of it.
