Do any of you suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome? I am tired all of the time.?



Is this a real condition or is it all mental, as many doctors claim? If you suffer from chronic fatigue, do you take anything for it, or do you just accept it and get plenty of rest. It just seems to get worse the older I get. I feel as if my energy reserves are quickly depleted and I tire easily. Are there any supplents that can help this condition?

Yes its a very real condition. They are starting to identify specific markers. We should soon have a blood test. There are medications that can treat the symptoms (sleep medications, steroids, pain meds). See your primary to rule out others problems (like Thyroid, or low testestorone) then maybe a sleep study (you may have sleep apnea which has many of the same symptoms). The good news is nomatter what the dx there are LOTS of treatments available. Believe me its a very real disease.
I have the same problem. I feel sluggish and tired all the time. I don't have the energy that I used to have. I have never been to a doctor about it. I am not sure if that is a real syndrome. I don't think that it is all in your head. I don't take anything because nothing has been confirmed by a doctor. Try going to a sleep clinic or your doctor to see what he/she says.
I have a really good answer for this, but I need to go lay down for a little while.
I have a close family friend who suffers from this. There is nothing you can do for it (no medicines available). It is just something you will have to live with. And, no, it is not mental.
me too.................what helps me a lot is if i try not to oversleep......go to bed at a somewhat decent time....get excercise for sure...and eat good food and don't eat too late because that can screw up ur sleep.....thats how i do it.....
I don't have this syndrome, but from my point of view you should try seeing the doctor about it and see if she/he can give you a medication for the problem. Or you could take a day and just rest and sleep in for a long time. A Saturday afternoon would be great for that if you aren't busy.
Exercise is important, at least 3 times a week for 20-60 minutes a day. Make sure you have a balanced diet. Herbs that are good for energy: ginseng, gotu kola also bee pollen and b-complex.
