I'm so tired of being tired. energy drinks and caffeine pills only help if I don't overwork myself. if I do overwork myself then there is hell to pay. has anyone found anything useful or helpful?
This might not be applicable to your situation, but I recently started doing at home trigger point massages and they’ve been massively helpful for my CFS and most of my other pains/symptoms. if you haven’t looked into trigger points before they may be the key for you too! (You can look through the trigger point therapy workbook by Clair Davies free online - https://archive.org/details/thetriggerpointtherapyworkbookpdfdrive.com) Most doctors never mention trigger points or tell you how to deal with the widespread and seemingly unrelated fatigue/pain that builds up from muscle pain, but just pressing on certain places can make you feel so much better if you’re dealing with a similar situation!
My docs are considering an ADHD stimulant to help with my CFS if I pass a cardiologist work up. There’s some initial research that looks decent on ADHD stimulants for CFS symptoms.
