I was definitely exhausted when the pain was preventing me to sleep. Now I sleep well again (5 days without pain!) but I am more tired than other people and easily dizzy. Not sure what the reason is. I started running, I hope it will help.

I suffer with dizziness and fatigue, I am guessing because your body is working so hard fighting the inflammation in your stomach is can cause tiredness. Like when you have the flu and you feel really run down, who knows... that is my theory!

Same thing I have feeling for almost 3 months now since I was diagnosed with gastritis and barrett's esophagus. I'm always tired and my legs are always weak, I think not enough nutrition too since I don't have much appetite, and can't eat the foods that I used to eat.

I know my Dr. can help you! It happened to me also. I prayed to God to heal me, and he gave me a Doctor in NJ who is an Internist, pediatrician and she is also in Integrative holistic Dr. She gave me integrative medicine (all natural and organic supplements) I had a blood work done that takes about a month to get the results back cause they study the deficiency on cells ( amazing) FINALLY I am back in business. THANK YOU GOD!!!!
Dr. Minal Vazirani
973-322-7007 it takes about 5 months to get an app with her, I waited about 5 months but it was so worthy, meanwhile just hang in there, God is always with you, trust to him and pray always in a place that will be just you and God. God Bless!!! I will keep you in my prayer

I would like to know this too. I think fg13 may be right. I get dizzy over the smallest things. And lightheaded too. It MUST be related to my stomach because when my stomach feels better my dizziness is lessened. and lately i have been feeling a bit better and my dizziness has been a lot better too. Yesterday I spent over and hour playing a game on the computer and no dizziness! I really really really hope I will keep improving, and the rest of you too!

I wonder if anyone has been checked for vitamin deficiencies?
They can cause both issues. I deal with them on a regular basis due not only to gastritis but to CFS.
When you are eating weird like we have to, it can happen.
Common are:
Vit B1
Vit B6
Vit B12
Iron
Magnesium (this one is huge when it comes to exhaustion and dizziness)

I was diagnosed with Vit B12 and D deficiencies last year. I may have had them for some time as I was never tested before. I could have more too. I'll be seeing a Naturopathic Dr the end of the month and maybe get tested. my energy level is flat, however I do not fortunately get dizziness.

I tried a magnesium supplement and it made me feel so bad, like if I had hypotension or something like that. It made me fall asleep almost like if I fell unconscious, and when I woke up I had no energy at all., feeling really heavy and slowed down like if I was drugged. Very weird. The name of this supplement is "calm". If has good reviews though.

Thanks for all the responses. It looks like I'm getting hit from all directions. Most of my doctors like to lay if all off on MS. It's easier for them if they don't have to think too hard. I'm really getting fed up with the medical community. I also have Fibromyalgia which can cause these same symptoms. So, I'm limiting my medications... just take what I THINK I need when I THINK it might help. Guess we have to be our own doctors.

To Ines, I am taking that too "calm" it doesn't help me go to sleep and I don't feel relief from that either I only take it once in a awhile. It won't help my anxiety, my natural doctor prescribed me that.

cessy, for me it works too well. It puts me in some sort of coma, and then I can't do anything for 24 hours. I stay away from supplements as much as possible now, just trying to have a healthy diet and exercise regularly.

To febesieb, I went to a holistic doctor also here in Orlando I live here in Orlando, Fl. They scheduled me for diff blood test hormone and cortisol and many more. I think it's a long process I'm going to see him on the 20th to get the result of my blood work. The name of thier office is The Center For Natural and Integrative Medicine. I wish we can talk on the phone I would like to get more information pls. call me at 407-295-8741.

To Ines, I really want to go back to my daily routine walking everyday, but for some reasons I get tired so quickly I hardly breath and coughing like I have an asthma, but I don't have problem with my lungs or my heart, my chest gets so tight and makes me feel more anxous it's wierd.

Cessy, I have been talking to somebody on another forum who does Qi Gong walk. It is a walk that is mixed with relaxation and meditation. Maybe it would be helpful to you.

Personally I prefer running. The immediate benefits are mixed: I get a mood lift and my blood flowing, but at the same time it stresses me and I don't sleep so well afterwards. But from what I read it gives a lot of long term benefits by stimulating the production of neurons and new connection in the brain that help with many things (better control of anxiety, better sleep, more energy, mood lift).

I just wanted to share that I have been running 2 miles every other day for a few days, sometimes swimming 20 minutes the days in between, eating a lot of carbohydrates (double what I usually eat) and my body seems to have waken up. I have much more energy. This is made easier by the fact that my stomach has been feeling good for a week.
