RE: tiredness is diagnosed definitely now!

[Guest guest]

Hi Sharon

It certainly was wise of you to persist in searching for an answer to your

fatigue. Auto immune diseases can be weird. I suppose family histories start

with someone don't they?

If you do not feel better after taking the supplement please pursue further

testing. My former brother-in-law was having your same symptoms and he was

in a multiple gland failure ( I can't remember the name of the condition).

He is doing quite well now but it took two trips to the Cleveland Clinic to

establish the best medication protocol to treat his problem.

I knew it wasn't a drug tiredness. It's a different tiredness to

anything i've ever had before, I really thought I was lacking in a

vitamin or something. I bought anything that promoted energy. The one

thing they do recommend and which I am always taking is Evening Primrose

Oil.

Ok, I will. What do you suggest? I'll be having another blood test in

a month to see how i'm progressing, and i've had an ultra sound on the

thyroid itself.

Really! Wow. Never heard of that. Did he get lots of infections as

well? I haven't had any, not even a cold or sniffle for about 4 years.

What was another gland that failed for your brother? Just so I can

be more vigilant.

Excellent!

so do you recommend I go to a specialist (an endocrinologist)? Or is

this a thing a normal G.P. can handle? (General Practitioner)

Thanks for replying Kaylene. :-)

Quote~ " the World Health Org suggests that adults should take in at

least 3% of their total Essential Fatty Acids. Evening Primrose Oil

contains an EFA , a vitamin that can't be made in the human body.

EFA's perform many functions; thier cheif roles are as integral parts of

every membrane in the body and as the precursors of prostaglandins, key

short term regulators which help control all bodily organs. Unless

enough EFA's are supplied, physical abnormalities develope. etc.... " ~

So they recomend that you should, wether fatigued or not, but especialy

if you are hypothyroid take Evening Primrose Oil. I have a whole

chapter on it here, but I can't type that out.

I take 1000mg BD. ( twice a day) And will do for as long as possible

too. :-)

I hope you start to feel better. I'm actualy still worsening and feel

physicaly crap. but with a reading of 150.0 instead of the highest

range of 4.0 I feel quite justified to complain now. <bg> So i am.

I hope you never feel this way. Or if you do you can take a little white

pill and wait for it to work just like I am.

Sharon. All the best. :-)

Sharon,

This is good info and I was unawareof the hypothyroid effect. I was originally

told it helped PMS but later was told it helped with fatigue. I think I just

wasn't taking enough...

Thank you as this is most helpful and I will try a larger dose!

Jan,

How much evening primrose oil is one supposed to take for fatigue? I take it but

mostly for pain & menopause problems, not fatigue. Didn't know it helped

fatigue. I have hypothyroidism myself & am on Synthroid.

Caroline,

I wasn't taking anough (only 400mg I think) but another poster (I apologize for

not remembering who - " fibro fog " ) recommened taking 1000mg, so I think I am

going to start takigng that much and hoping it helps the fatigue.

Best of luck to you!

Jan,

Okay so how often during the day will you take the 1000mg Primrose oil? As

needed or with meals, what? It's rather expensive I've found. For more pep &

energy I've been using a triple ginseng, herbal formula called " Hi-EnerG " I can

only get at Walgreen's or Long's drugs stores around here.

It's strictly only 1-2 pills a day & no more tho according to the label. But

boy, it sure revs me up & keeps me going. I'm out of it now but was taking it at

least every morning when I do most of my work. It wears off after 4 hours tho.

Then I drop in my tracks & have to take a 2-3 hour nap. But I can take another

in the afternoon if necessary but no more than that.

It's cheap too. Only $10. a bottle which lasts a month for me. So I've not been

without it for over 4 years now. It's great. I've tried all the other natural

ginseng formulas like Ginsana, etc. but none of them worked half as well for me.

I notice a lot of people buy the Hi-EnerG because the stores run out of it

frequently. So I usually buy at least two bottles each time if they have them

because sometimes there's none left on the shelves. So it's gotta be a good

product for others too.

That sounds too good to be true!! However I would be very careful of the

Ginseng products because they increase the blood pressure and heart rate. You

might ask your physician about this. Good Luck and take care. Alice
