Stop using sugar, sugar substitutes. Are you taking magnesium? A probiotic? These help me

i would maybe try ginkgo biloba

Vitamin b12 is supposed to be good for energy & neurological problems, too. Be careful taking it too late in the day or it'll keep you up at night.

Two of my supplements are magnesium (although admittedly, not magnesium citrate yet, when I finish my supply of regular magnesium I am going to get the citrate version) and vitamin B complex (which contains 125 mcg).Malina, are you taking ginkgo biloba? In what form? As a seed? In food?

I have to work 4 hours, eat lunch, then rest for 20 minutes, then work 4 more hours. Rest breaks are the only way I can make it through the day. I have a recliner in my office for my breaks. I also avoid sugar and foods that cause inflammation and eat foods that reduce inflammation. If you look up both online, you will get a long list. Inflammation causes most of the MS symptoms....so reduce inflammation equals reduced symptoms including fatigue.

Good luck....it really is a balancing act....but with a little practice, it is possible...

Fatigue is the number one reason people leave their employment! You are amazing, going back to work! Try Diana's way of working, with rest periods in between. I too work full time, but from home. I can go lay down when I want to and rest. Find someway to get some down time while on the job. Even if you have to put your head down on your desk for 20 minutes, it is something.

Also, your muscle relaxants might be working against you and making you tired in the first place. Is there anyway you can take them after you get home from working all day?

Good luck on the job!

i just buy it in pill form because it's the easiest for me to take it that way - ask your doctor before you try it though because it interacts with a LOT of medicines, like if i started taking neurontin again i'd have to quit taking it for the medicine to work

I feel like a 'repeat reporter' but in all honesty when I began eating Gluten-Free among other things I have more energy. I only slept 3-4 hours last night and now it's 1:00 PM and I have to force a nap.

Lots of luck at ur new job!

My first week back at school was draining too. It seems now that my body is adjusting, I have more energy. Take breaks and remember to eat and stay hydrated. Hope things get better and good luck!

I think all the above advice is very very good indeed! The only thing I'd add, try Adrenal concentrate in capsules (I take the one made by Nutri) and may be Choline powder. Stay strong! Love M ;0)x

That's what drugs are for.

I in no way mean to sound flippant or look down on you. Regardless of your physical situation if you are unable to effectively combat it naturally, then you have to resort to a drug.

A couple of days ago was my first dose of Amphetamine. It took me six months to resume it since I am on a welfare medical benefits program. I also cancelled an appointment with the doctor and he cancelled one appointment with me.

So it has been six months with this awful fatigue but Amphetaine works great for me. In fact, what I was prescribed comes as two tablets a day. Except for the first day (I took the regular two tablets for that day) I only take one.

I have my kids every other weekend so I don't them this weekend. Hence, I will not take Amphetamine this Saturday or Sunday. But the next weekend I will take them so I can be funtional around my children.

The purpose for this tact is so I can stockpile the Amphetamine. Those six months I was without it was Hell for me so now I want to plan the drug as best as I can.

Additionally, I now feel very capable of getting a new job and maintaining it.

I try not to take drugs...only supplements and a nap each day if nec. I, too, am on a gluten-free diet- but only feel a little more energy since it's only been two months. I hope to fight the fatigue with the new vibration machine/ diet/ and supplements.

HAad gingseng this morning, which worked for awhile. . .the test will be work tomorrow.

Whew! A great update! I talked to my doc -and we agreed to cut down on the anti-depressant (half of 15 mg at night) started taking honey with tumeric at night, 1/2 a vial of ginseng before going to work in the morning and this is my second week, and the fatigue is greatly diminished! Still resting fully for ten minutes between morn & afternoon. Oh, and yesterday, for the first time in months, my gums weren't aching! So next, tomorrow, I DRIVE to work!
