Regular PT for three years now-mainly isometrics and stretching that don’t overdue it and set off an exhaustion cycle.
And also I take a
low dose of methylphenidate (Ritalin) which I take daily to boost energy. I rejected using this for along time as I had drug issues in my youth (against my doctors advice) but finally gave in and it has really helped.

I do feel I need something to stimulate my central nervous system since everything seems to be slowing down communications in my body. How did you get diagnosed and prescribed methylphenidate? What type of doctor helped you? My primary doctor doesn’t seem to consider all of my symptoms or refer me to specialists when things fall outside her area of expertise.
