Guest guest Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 I have seen a F, 34, dx with ME for 10 years. Had CBT a few years ago to help manage it and was put on steroids 2 months ago. No obvious benefits yet. Feels tired and groggy all the time, gets off to sleep at night but wakes several times and wakes unrefreshed and tired. Stops her doing normal things but she does get out and occasionally plays sport. Can get out of house but had two years when she did not leave. Yawns constantly all day. Blood sugar <2. Tends to go distant for several hours and then legs collapse. Tilt test done for blood pressure: about 25 mins after it was done while she was standing up her blood pressure plummeted and she collapsed. Sensitive to external stimuli of people etc. Has wandered off and woken up in strange places. Cannot recall the past few hours when it happens. No obvious previous illnesses. Did do night shifts in computing for 10 months while leading a full social life within a year of symptoms starting. Diet needs attention. Now depressed too. Wants help with sleep, fatigue and depression. Generally looks well - has the gleam in her eyes that I associate with MS. Can't quite get a handle on what is going on. Plan to start with diet and then build on it slowly with herbal teas but would love any other input. Thanks.
