Hey yall,
I work a lot! I am needing a little bit of help with the whole fatigue thing. I am taking Vitamin D, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, and fish oil. Is anyone taking any kind of supplement for energy?

Good evening, Sunshine:

 

As discussed with this group, and in many other MS discussions, MS fatigue is THE most all encompassing MS symtom.

 

Right everyone?  And noone can understand the depths of our fatigue, unless you are another MS patient.

 

It is not a stayed up too late...got up too early kinda fatigue...

 

Even after a full nights sleep...it is witth us....

 

My neuro prescribed Provigil for me....it sorta helps.....sorta....

 

I am sure everyone will agree....Right everybody?

Hi rayofsunshine,

I have not had any success with supplements.  I tried the acetyl-L-carnatine and the only effect I saw was that it depleted my pocket book.  I take vit d3, and many other supplements.  The only thing that has helped me is adderall.  I know that provigil is also popular.  Exercise helps as well.  If I don't keep up with my exercise I really feel it. 

Are you only considering supplements?

Hi there, the dreadful fatigue......between this and heat sensativity, I have to watch it.

If you are able to, exersise will help to eliminate some of the fatigue, and also helps with spasticity. Also if you are heat sensative, and become too warm, and this brings on symptoms, one of the symptoms of becoming too warm is fatigue. 

Funny thing with me, even though i am heat sensative, I find at times that I do not know that I am too warm, until all of a sudden, symptoms begin to appear, including the fatigue - crazy thing.  It was just on Friday I started to feel kinda funny in the head, and started to get that fatigue feeling, when someone came into my office and said to me that it was really warm in my office???? Knowing that I have MS and heat bothers me, also said to me, "this can't be good for you"  so I went outside for a bit, went for a walk in the cool breeze and everything got back to normal for me..

Do exersise and watch that you do not get too warm

Have a nice day

Gary

Sunshine,

I agree with Beau. I used to have that dreadful fatigue but not anymore though I have a lot of other symptoms. I seemed to lose the fatigue when I tried to eat right and with no junk & also stopped drinking tap water which has fluoride in it - I am very allergic to fluoride & I have read it is very toxic. But I really do not know for sure if these helped.
