So @Mij your doctor said if you fell better with stimulants than you dont have m.e.? If i dont understand it wrong, this makes no sense to me. Of course stimulants dont take away all symptoms but have impact on some. Of course if you take to much and push your body over the edge you will crash...
I also read the kpax study and i wonder if the ritalin or the supplements did help. As far as i understood the study, kpax did help only the patients with very heavy symptoms. did anyone tried kpax without ritalin and can say if it has positive effects?
For me coffee is too weak to have any impact on the fatigue symptoms, no matter how much i drink. In the beginning of my sickness i tried modafinil which helped a little and had no side-effects at all. my doctor decided to try ritalin because it has more stimulating effects compared to...
I agree that you must use any stimulant with caution but as i wrote allready without ritalin i am not able to stand up and would be lying in bed all the time. So i can walk a little bit and go in my garden to get fresh air and a bit sunlight. Only lying in bed makes it even worse for me.
What do you think about using stimulants like ritalin or adderal to treat the fatique and the brain fog?
Ritalin helps me very much or better said without it i would stay in bed 24/7.
Of course it doesn't cure the cfs but it helps with some symptomes.
