Dealing with Chronic Fatigue: Seeking Advice

Hi Alikes, I’m grateful a group like this exists. I’ve been suffering from extreme fatigue with few other symptoms for about 2 years. Doctors haven’t been able to give me a formal diagnosis and nothing seems to help my symptoms improve. Recently I’ve gotten a bit worse. Has anyone found something that’s helped them?

Hi, I’ve had chronic fatigue disorder for about a year now and just got an official diagnosis a few months ago. I’ve started daily B-12 and D vitamins and a supplement called “formula 303” that includes magnesium (helps with energy). Just a warning though, formula 303 pills smell awful lol. I’ve noticed an improvement in my energy levels since starting the B-12. I’m trying to get vitamin D IV infusions because I’ve heard they help with fatigue MUCH better than just pills. Myers cocktail IVs might be helpful too but I know IVs can be expensive. Good luck and I hope any of that helps you.

thanks! I’m also on B-12 and D. I was super deficient. Unfortunately it hasn’t helped much. My doctor mentioned finding me an iv infusion clinic to try. I go back to see her next week. Today, I’m on day three of a fodmap diet I decided to try and I’m trying not to be overly optimistic but I feel great! Some other members on here mentioned it helped them a lot.

Have you had any problems with IV clinics and how often do you think necessary to go?

What is fodmop?

Sunshine10

it’s an acronym. You can google it. The low fodmap is an elimination diet. Not something permanent. It’s helpful to people with IBS and reduces inflammation that causes symptoms. I’ve read it helps with other autoimmune conditions as well. The verdict is still out whether I feel like it’s helping me.
