Does anybody have any tips for me sad

Hi Amy, I'm sorry that you are suffering from fatigue. I have found a combo that helps energize me. I take 5000 mcgs of B-12, the kind you place under your tongue to disolve. B-12 is essential for energy production. I also get some exercise in daily, mostly walking and stretching. Making sure I take a good multivitamin along with a vitamin D supplement is essential for me. Drinking plenty of water and eating a good mix of protein and fruits and veggies help too.

Hope you get some energy soon!

Hugs, Robin

I'd eat good food and don't eat a lot of carbs.  These raise blood sugar in everyone and that can make you more tired.  I also have tea in the morning and a cup in the afternoon...before 5 PM.  I don't want caffeine close to bedtime. 

 

Lastly, get plenty of rest.  Be on a sleep schedule and perhaps go to bed a little earlier than normal.  Hope this helps.

I get nauseous sometimes too, but then I have irritable bowel syndrome so that's the bigger issue for me. (I have to be really careful of what I eat. In my case, carbs is what I have to eat the most of to keep that under control, so - it could be trial and error for you, too. Just pay attention to what your body does when you eat what.)

I try to walk every day, but if I'm just TOO tired, sometimes I skip it, and then a nap can help. Of course, with fibro there is a certain level of fatigue that just never goes away, but sometimes it goes beyond that. I forget how long you've had this.

Hi Amz~~

Have you talked to your doctor about the fatigue? There might be something he/she could suggest also. There are some treatments for it and some are very helpful. Been on a couple of different one that worked well. They don't 'jazz' me up, just return me to a more normal "me".

Hugs,

In your sig file, you mention that you take 3 peppermint oil caps a day. That, alone, would cause me to start projectile vomiting and end up in ER getting ulcer treatment. That stuff is WAY too harsh to take on a regular basis, no matter what the naturopaths may tell you. skull

I was going to suggest B12 for your fatigue, but someone upthread already did so. :)
