I'm still having trouble with serious fatigue. It is different than the usual kind I've experienced. This is more like narcolepsy; in that if I sit still for a few minutes, the body starts to go to sleep. First the body shuts down and everything feels really heavy and sort of numb, then the brain clicks out and I find myself being jarred awake as my chin hits my chest.

I've had this happen while sitting at my computer, while eating and reading.

Sometimes I drink a coffee substitute made from grain, but I tried some caffeinated coffee yesterday and it seemed to help the fatigue. My guts don't appreciate it, but I'm wondering how much you folks drink, and how often during the day to combat fatigue.

Have you also used the caffeine pills? I'm thinking that might be easier on the digestive system than the actual beverage.

Thanks.

With love, Erika
