Help With Tiredness

Updated

just being tired all the time, have had my iron tested, nothing wrong. Is there any prescription med that you can take to give you more energy?

Could you please tell me if you found a solution? I have the same problem. Nobody seems to be able to find out what it could be. It is the biggest problem in my everyday life and I don't know how to deal with it anymore. I wake up tired and after a cup of coffee, I fall asleep again. A few hours later, I wake up, stay up as long as I can, sometimes 30-45 minutes, then I fall asleep again. It is terrible! Thanks for a reply.

I have chronic fatigue syndrome. I had all the tests done to rule out anything else. About 20 years ago I had the Epstein Barr Virus. Then, I had a terrible time in about 2005 and nobody was able to help. This time it has been over a year that I can't get up and everybody looks at me like I don't have the willpower to overcome this, but it has nothing to do with willpower. I will start some medication tomorrow and see if it gets a little bit better. My doctor always asked me if I ever had mononucleosis, but I did not, not that I know of. Finally my illness has been diagnosed.

I have Chronic Fatique Syndrome along with Fibro and many damaging side effects from the effects of my illnesses. CFS is the best because I can easily sleep away the pain and not have to deal with pain and seeing doctors every week. However, I do take Vyvanse 150 mg. once in the morning. I have experimented with cutting down to 75mg in the am and 75mg around 2pm. I built up an immunity to Concerta. Good luck however, I would have blood work to see if you might have EB this causes the same effect as CFS. On this website look up CFS/EB and then call your doctor with this information. Print out what you find during your research. I good doctor will read your information and take into consideration. Lobby for yourself. A Rheumatologist is who you should be seeing. Keep us posted. Not to insult your doctor by supplying your research in print, say you understand how busy he/she is and since this is your life you thought you availing more recent information would be very significant in your diagnosis. When you are pacified, no blood work is ordered then DEMAND your rights as a patient to have tests performed to further diagnose your illness and that you will seek out another physician who will remember in his Oath "Do Know Harm" and act dignified, serious, and mature. I had to this several times over many years and one MD will take you very seriously; read your latest research (of course keep originals so make copies) and work with you. Good luck and please keep me posted. Also, your Pharmacists' must be asked to be your advocate on any prescription that is called in. Doctors have no idea what is in the medications that he orders; he relies on representatives knowledge of the med that his employer (Pharmaceutical) is pushing.

There is Vyvanse, and Concerta which is a stimulant. On this site look up the two I gave you and educate yourself. Always print out what you have read that applies to you and ask your Pharmacist.
