It wasn't too long ago that I was asking about fatigue and what others do! I've noticed a difference in my level of fatigue since I started taking B12. I take Provigil on days that I need it. I also take naps when I can.

I took Prozac but had sweats which I still get and quit Prozac after 1 month (2 months ago) and still sweat so maybe something else. It worked GREAT for mood. Happier.

Neuro office today patients said they use B12 inj with script. Its dirt cheap.

I Luvs me Prozac. :D

I couldnt get a doctor's appointment today, but I did get a lab visit, so I got checked out for a UTI...nothing there.

I made an appointment with the doctor on monday. I want to get my thyroid checked, and I want my B12 checked. Then I'm also going to talk to him about this stupid flare... I want to get my regular doctor's opinion on this flare seeming to get worse. My neuro is out till the 21st, and the partner neuros cost a zillion dollars (my neuro doesnt charge as much for some reason) My regular doctor doesnt cost as much as the neuro's that work with my usual neuro. Since his dad has MS, he might have a bit more experience than some doctors.

I'm going to ask my doctor if I can get some B12 shots regularly. I figure it wouldnt hurt me to get the occasional shot of B12...and having my thyroid checked mostly because I just had a bunch of IV and oral steroids and I just want to make sure that it didnt fry the thyroid.

I am so tired today. It took all I could do to drive up to the doctor's office. (and take my mom to her PT appointment...good thing they're in the same building) I really hope this flare goes away very very soon.

B12 hots you do yourself at home. Theres also liquid B I bought at grocery store. Squeeze 1 dropper under your tounge. its 20,000% rda. Try it. Not at night.

I had enough of giving myself shots when I did C. I'd rather just go to my doctor's office and let them do the stabbity part for me.

I want to know what my B12 is tho, before I start doing any supplements.

I tried the liquid B with B12 20,000% and feel more tired then if I took my tiny 500mcg B12 8,333%.

Hi Erin,

Fatigue is one of the most challenging symptoms to deal with as it is almost a catch 22 situation. I've found many times the drug Rx'd are worse than the fatigue, with their side effects. I have yet to find a med or "trick" to deal with it.

I find fatigue to be ever present while at the same time, appears to come at go at will and intensity. It's like trying to catch a shadow in different brightnesses of light. You just can't get a hold on it.

I'll go out on a limb and suggest 500mcg B12 (tiny pill) and 200-400 magnesium. Try it. Also get your testosterone level checked and send me results or post here.

Why would I need to test testosterone? (I'm a girl)
