I'm tired. I mean death would be actual motion! I just want everyone to go away and leave me alone. Quit asking me to do anything for them, rip the freakin' phone out of the wall, and refuse to answer the door. NO I AM NOT DEPRESSED. GOOD GRIEF. I KEEP TELLING MY DR. THAT! I am just soooooo tired. I just want to be left alone, totally completely alone. Don't ask me to cook, don't ask me to clean, don't ask me to do laundry, don't ask me for anything for fear I will throw something at you.

I know I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and ORIGINALLY the Dr was going to try STRATERA to assist with that but some GOD-LIKE GENUIS PSYCHIATRIST said that was not an option. So, what do I do?

I am seeking another dr. who will be aggressive in helping me get a life, a real life, instead of just treating the symptoms/flare ups. I can't help but believe there is SOMETHING to be done.

I am taking tons of appropriate minerals & vitamins as well as watching my diet. This has helped and I know that but I need more than that.

IDEAS????

I think you are on the right track with getting another dr. to help you. I take B-6 tabs under the tongue and sometimes I'll take zip fizz. Sometimes nothing helps. But I don't think I have CFS, least not a chronic case. The one time I was chronically Fatigued, I was depressed, and I didn't think I was, but I let the dr. put me on an antidepressant and it worked wonders for the fatigue!! Are you currently on an antidepressant? Is it possible you don't realize you are depressed? If you honestly don't think you are then another dr. is deff. in order. I hope you find what you need. God bless.

Today I felt the same, and ended up arguing with my hubby on needing to just be left alone! I want to get a hotel room and sleep for 24 hours straight!!! I hate this. I just bought b-12, royal jelly, and fish oil to add to my ningxia red, blue breen algae, multi vitamins, pomagranite juice, & probiotics. I have only been taking the supplements for a week and a half, but I felt better than I did in a month. Now I am having a bad day, hence the additions! I will try anything! I also stretch daily, and try to do some leg lifts, arm lifts, etc. It is all so hard, and I am only 34 and in relatively great shape. My heart goes out to you!

I don't really have any suggestions for you, except to say when I am in pain or fatigued, I feel the same way. I don't want to talk, don't want to eat etc etc. Just like you, leave me the Hell alone!

Thanks so much for each of your inputs. I really appreciated it! At least I'm not crazy or losing my mind.

No, I'm not depressed and I know that for sure but I am soooooo AGGREVATED that the Dr. just keeps patting me on the head like I'm stooopid. SHEEZ!

I mean, she has gotton to sending in the freakin' counselor (therapist) and then seeing me after the counselor & I discuss my MEDICAL OPTIONS! She's got to go. Good grief!

OK, well F-I-N-A-L-L-Y the new dr. listened (God's divine intervention!) and ordered the CRP test to go with the ANA, RA, and SED RATE test. Hopefully this is the LAST TEST as in my novel of a med chart it was the only one that hadn't been performed. Unless they come up with a battery more of some new thingy-ma-jobbers! ROFLOL

Have you had your ferritin iron level checked to make sure you're not anemic???

The reason I ask is because I just realized this morning that I'm probably very anemic again due to my heavy periods and slacking off on my iron.

I'm feeling remarkably good since adding the amino acids and whatnot, just beyond beat. The kind of fatigue where it's all I can do to even go get the mail a block away.

Hey! I k now what you mean Two years I experience bouts of CHF. I wanted complete silence and sleep for a month or two. My dr prescribed me vitaminsa and I get a vitamin B 12 shot every month. It did help somewhat.
