Help me cure fatigue!?

Question

I'm in high school, and for the past two years I've been so tired, it's hard for me to do any of the things I used to love to do. I still love them, but it's hard to go rock climbing when all you can do is focus on not falling asleep. Doctors have tested for everything you can imagine. I was a very active kid, but two years ago I just started being so tired all the time, and nothing seems to be able to explain it. It's not cancer, depression, thyroid, mono, sleep apnia, I can't remember what else they've tested for, but so much that the doctors are stumped.

At first my mom thought it was growing, but two years later, I'm still stuck at 5'3. I really try hard to excercise, but it's quite a catch 22. Too tired to excercise, not enough excercise is making me tired?
My chiropractor gave me a lot of vitamins, none of which have worked.

If it is the excercise, is there some sort of motivation trick I don't know?

Answer 1

take a vacation

Answer 2

You just might be having a growing spurt that is compromising your energy level.
I assume they have checked for chronic fatigue syndrome. How about Fibromyalgia? How about ADD?

Also, depression can't be fully ruled out because it isn't something that is proved by an absolute test. And antidepressants work different on younger bodies then they do on adult bodies. Has your doctor tried any medications for depression on you?

Have you checked with any food allergies or a toxin exposure?
Have you tried any alternative medicine practices? Some times we need to reach beyond modern medicine.

You also might have a mind/body thing going on with you thinking you are weak, thus you are. Have you had any counseling?

You might be reactive to environmental things. Some that you can't control and others that you can. Try washing with non fragrant soaps and fabric softeners. Try a Hempa Air Purifier for your room.

Have you traveled out of the country? or know anyone who has?
There are some tropical diseases that will elude American doctors.

Let me know if you find a diagnosis.

Nutrition and Rest ...take some good vitamins .. a lot of our diets these days really don't help. Get at least 8 hours sleep every day! If you live at a high altitude an oxygen treatment for a month or so may help..

Answer 4

I expect you aren't eating correctly. Take multi vitamins, eat more fruit, go to bed earlier. Sounds like you have a case of laziness so try getting off your bum and you're start to feel better.

Answer 5

try co-q10, your growing with hormones that makes people tired. you can buy q-10 at any drug store in the vitamin dept. It worked for me take one every morning and in about a week you should feel more energetic
