Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 -- I think you've got some good thoughts here and summarizing a few below with a couple of other thought: First, diagnosis: Check for things like anemia, thyroid problems, low testosterone (which is a bit low even if just in the normal range), DHEA level and liver function. Also, look at ALL the drugs you are taking; some may cause or exacerbate fatigue; look at liver toxic drugs. Second, interventions: Diet and exercise A good, potent, iron-free multivitamin, like Opti-Pak B12 shots or daily sublingual along with a B complex DHEA - up to 400 mg/day (start with 50-100) CoQ10 (200-400 mg/day) ThiolNAC - a mix of NAC 500 mg and alpha lipoic 200 mg; 3 per day (good for the liver) Testosterone replacement may be a good idea Essential fatty acids like evening primrose may help; eating more fish; Fatty fish (such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, tuna, cod and halibut) are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids You might also consider " Eleuthero " (formerly known as Siberian ginseng). But not if you have high blood pressure. It gives me a very nice energy boost. Other things to consider for you liver function include silymarin (milk thistle or artichoke) and there are also some Chinese herb blends that may help. Sho Saiko To may be a good one to try with chronic hep B. I hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 I forgot to add a complete cardiovascular work up to make sure that your heart is OK. Fatigue can also be caused by heart and cardiovascular disease --- " M.
