I even tried a diet pill when trying to lose weight..still no energy
I even take 20mgrs of Prednisone a day..no energy
Has any of your doctors told you what it is about RSD that makes us SO tired?
I cant do any exercise because of herniated back discs and my entire abdomen is swollen..i cant do anything to raise my cardio. I do sit down exercise videos and lift small weights. there just has to be something to help with energy.
please tell me what you do or take
thank you

Good morning Lori,
If my memory serves me right, I think my RSD doc says Im so tired all the time because my body is in a constant state of alert (the flight or fight thingy) which makes sense but Im sure Im not using his correct words/terminology.
What I personally do when Im so tired: I take a walk, a slow one, but still a walk. and if that fails, I take a nap
I know that may not be possible for you, especially if your at work, and I realize this post isnt very helpful, really just wanted to let you know Im listening. Feel better soon k, Dee
