I am in need of some advice. I am suffering from chronic fatigue. It is reallys starting to take a toll on my life these past 2-3 weeks. I can barely stay awake. My brain is fuzzy. I am forgetting everything. I can't even focus as I used too. I recently took some blood tests everything came back normal. I am slightly overweight though. I have recently lost about 10 lbs and I feel like I have gained it instead. I am a vegeterian. I take a multivitam everyday, along with 800 mg of folic acid and B Complex. Please help I feel like my life is slipping away. Did I mention that I am almost 25 and have an 8 year old. I'm an office mgr for a busy doctor and can't afford to fall asleep when completing reports.Any advice pls post or pm me ASAP. Thank all so much in advance for your help.
Lots of Love
RE: Chronic Fatigue
How long have you had the problem?
Chronic means long term and clinically usually taken to be 6 weeks or more.
Do you know what blood tests were done?
e.g. a screen for coeliac disease?
If your vegetarian, then you'll be more prone to lack of iron and vitamin B12. While it's likely that B complex contains B 12 it may not be getting into your system if there is a problem with the normal absorbtion pathway.
B vitamin supplements can aggravate a problem with candida, so that in itself could be contributing to the problem.
There are many possibilities, so keep onto your doc to test for all they can, although it may become a open diagnosis by excluding the usual suspects. Things like candida and leaky gut syndrome aren't generally accepted by main stream medicine.
