New to the group - but have chronic fatigue?
Fibromyalgia | Last Active: Jun 23 5:21am | Replies (23)Comment receiving replies
Hello,
I think I have had chronic fatigue for several years, but I was able to push through. But since I came back from an overseas in February, I have been really struggling with fatigue. I used to exercise a lot, but I cannot right now
My blood work is fine.
I started taking some supplements: women vitamins, CoQ10 and NADH. Do any of you know about these? Do they help?
I'm also seeing a therapist and an acupuncturist. I'm currently on an emotional rollercoaster. Today was really hard without a break from the fatigue. Any help out there?

@kikibiree I see you mentioned how you "pushed through". That is definitely not a good idea. As they teach at the Bateman Clinic, pacing is the key. Do a small amount, rest, do a little more if you can. But, as we probably all do now and then, dont try to push yourself or you will pay by being exhausted for hours later or even sometimes days. If I have to make a trip to the doctor, I know it will tire me so I dont do anything in the hours prior, just rest. Do my best to prepare. I hope you can learn that, too.
Have you read Toni Bernhard's books? I also read her blog on Psychology Today, I think it is online monthly. Toni's story is very touching. She has been ill since I think early 2000s. She still struggles even though she lives near Stanford, so has the best specialists.
I hope you find some help, be it doctors or medicines. Supplements did not help me.
