MAC and Fatigue

@macspouse Hello. I am sorry that your husband is feeling so dragged down. It really stinks when the spirit wants to go, but the body's not willing. Unfortunately, that comes with our disease and treatment. I sometimes use ginsing with royal jelly. It comes in little botttles and I buy it from the Asian supermarket. It costs about $9.00 for a box of 24. It gives me indurance without any kind of speedy, jittery side effects. It is a tonic made from ginsing root. The Chinese have been using this for thousands of yrs. The royal bee pollen is a super energy packed nutrient from bee hives. I also take Adderall (.05 mg) to boost energy and concentration. That is a very low dose, but it does the trick for me. Before using either, you should run past the doctor. The ginsing is usually safe to use, but still, ask the doctor. The Aderall is a controlled substance and hard to get a script for. I have drs who believe a small dose is ok if it the benefit is great. Which it is for me. It gives me energy to move my lungs better (I have a totally flat and stiff diaphragm). Plus, it makes me happier to participate in life more. In other words, a better quality of life makes it worth being on it - to me. How long of a period did your spouse go in between the initial infection and tje reinfection? Have you read the 'How to avoid reinfection' in the Discussion threads? Do you know where to find them? Please keep us posted.

@windwalker The Asian ginseng is different from American ginseng although the two look very much alike. Chinese prefer American ginseng because it is milder than Asian ginseng. The ginseng produced in northern Wisconsin (specifically Marathon County) is mostly exported to Asia.

@windwalker The Asian ginseng is not for the elderly for sure. I don't think the quantity would make the difference. It is the effects to the body no matter the quantity. You are not supposed to use large dosage with either type of ginseng.

@ling123 Thank you for the feedback. I didn't know that Wisconsin was a big producer of ginsing. I bet it does help your mom to keep going!
