Hello anne
I too am struggling. I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome/m.e about 8 years ago but it looks to have come back. I think you should ask youre doctor about this. I am also waiting to see a neurologist as i have severe pins and needles all over back arms legs/ cold painful legs. Have you had a bood test for b12 deficiancy as get injections every 12 weeks. Have done for 10 years but dont help much just now. I am in a constant daily battle with pain/ depression/anxiety brought on more with the constant pain and fatigue. I have been off work 9 weeks.
Did youre doctor mention chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia if not if everything else clear this could be the diagnosis. When i had it years ago my mum had to come and help me out of bed i could barely get in and out of the bath ir brush my hair. It is like living with the flu virus 10 times worse xx
I have just responded to another of your posts, regard medications and their problems.
Your side effects sound like your Anxiety and Depression.
Yes I understand what you have been oin through the last twelve months and Depression and Anxiety, you have seen your Specialist quite recently and you have had problems with medication. I have discussed that. However you really need help here and there are other techniques you could try.
Relaxation Techniques can help, Mindfulness is the one that is preferred, books can be purchased on the internet regards this method, it is actually dealin with life changes and you may find that inclusive.
Breathing Exersises can be tried, yes they are used in expectant Mothers althouh they can be used in conjunction with Mindfulness.
You are having a course of treatment at this time and medications seem to be A Problem. Talk to your GP or Clinic. Have you had a course of CBT.?.
What are the reasons for your condition?, to know the problems associated with your condition will help you understand what you may need to do and control your condition.
We are here to help
Keep a hold

I am happy in a sense i am not alone, although happy is not the correct word, i totally agree that it is awful and our symptoms are exarcebated , chronic fatigue for sure, we are too sensitive hard to cope , i will see a neuro also , none of the doctors mentionned B12 ! although i know about it, but i dont know if it can help i havetried so many things......we have to hold on
hello, thank you for your concern!! yes you understand it well about my condition, the issue is that it has begun for a long time and it is the first time i had hard time trying to find a medication, so i am focused on it as instead of helping i have problems , i have to forget it now as it becomes obsessive, today i forgo to take one pill and i did nt have a lot of vertigo so i suppose i am not crazy and the medecine is the first issue, mindfullness i have done it but you right i ll do it at home, i appreciate the forum and people here like you, i feel understood and it makes me more voluntary to fight and try things ,the medical staff is not comrehensive and cold in the communication, before i used to do yoga advanced techniques and sports, and meditations, in fact im so focused on the tiredness and dizziness preventing me from going outside that i m depressed, but you are right even if i cant do some many things i have to begin at home mindfulness
my condition is complex touching every part of my life, work and so on, as if everything i have built have been deconstructed, it is not my first depression but the somatic symptom now is so weird and never experienced it before that is why anxiety is to the roof , and i try to understand and find solutions to weird thing happening in my body; i ll begin to reconnect myself to meditation, you are right
Hi Anne, I have had both ME and severe depression. I found ME more disabling than depression, but depression had a greater lowering effect on my mood. Both conditions are difficult to diagnose. I agree with Kelly that it would be important to rule out ME. In terms of recovery exercise is helpful for depression but positively damaging to recovery for ME where careful pacing is crucially important.
With my best wishes for your recovery. Sadly, you are definately not alone. The number of sufferers from these two ailments are each huge.
thanks george we feel so alone in this....
