Chronic Fatigue

sheri SG

Has anyone heard of this “illness”. I have always felt and looked dead tired, after working/ studying few hours. Really so tired and drained. Was okay a few months back, could even find strength to excercise, but of late (maybe been overeating?/ now is year end for my accounts ), I have felt so dead tired. Any solutions. I avoid coffee as much as possible these days.

how do you know you have chronic fatique? I can never figure out if I have it too… All I know is that to get up in the morning feeling fresh – is a very rare thing for me, no matter how early I sleep

sheri SG

Ya...only once in my life i suddenly felt "hey I feel fresh after a sleep". Most days I still feel okay when i am awake, but sometimes when I oversleep = feel even more tired.

I dunno if I have CFS, but just feel really really tired. So I eat thinking its lack of food, but it is not. Mad

mistyblue SG

No its not food. I am thinking of reducing because I feel no better when I eat better food.

Oversleeping just cause the whole body to go out of sync. So I cannot oversleep even if I want.

It is caused by stress.

its caused by stress and the food you eats. the way you sleep & the way you chew your food.

you need food which releases sugar slowly, not in a rush.

Oatmeal porridge, a apple, a banana, mixed nuts w/o salts are your best bet to keep your energy up during trying times.

I'm advising you based on my limited knowledge on this subject but this is really not my area of speciality. Before I start, I would have at ANY time... Better advise you to get professional advices from a doctor than compared to myself...

How old are you? Do you have any known critical disease or illness? Or anything like that might run within your family? How often do you go for medical health check? When was the last time? How throughout was it?

Other than feeling 'very tired'... Would you often feel better after you've slept..? You mentioned that you've no strength to exercise... Do you feel any pain at the joints or in your muscle...? Do you feel swells at particular parts of your body...? If yes, where? Any particular sensation you feel or obvious difference you can see at the / those area(s)?

How many hours after you've studied or work after which you would feel tired? Before that? Any obvious difference in your performance before you tired yourself out these days...?

Do you have sore throat or headache?

Often when you feel 'very tired' after long hours of work or studies... Anything you do that might help you feel better...? eg. you take a nap or sleep then you feel better or something...? How long do you feel tired for after you've start to feel 'worn out'?

I've gone through a period of wad you've described. It was like I was dead in the heart and mind. Yet, I was still alive. Just going through the motions only. Zombie I truly was.... Dat was when I quit from my job and took off for a long vacation...... Wad was lacking was motivation. I had to rediscover myself and my enthusiasm. Dat was quite some years ago already!

Now, I'm much more careful in wad I do. I try to give some balance to my life and cut out the deadwood in my life. I avoid doing wad I deem unnecessary so I pretty much live for myself now and not for others....... Dat works wonders for me! Dunno if doing this will work for you but what have you got to lose trying it out? If you need more details, pm me. I'll be willing to be your guide. Wink
