Tired

Hello all, I am currently having a really bad time with fatigue, so I decided to try and get some medication. My neurologist recommended amantadine but the go said no due to having ulcers some years ago. The hospital then suggested modafinil but once again the gp refused as I also have a heart problem. Feeling condemned to a life in fatigue limbo. I regularly go to the gym and have done cbt fatigue management, does anyone have any suggestions please.

Tbh I think all you can do is pace yourself although this is extremely hard in practice and I’m the worst at it. But no med will give you long-standing relief . I’ve fought it for a long time I love swimming etc but now I have learnt to listen to my body and don’t push. It’s boring and frustrating but only way for me anyway to stop the boom and bust cycle.

Thanks Jen, acceptance is hard but I know you’re right
