I was diagnosed several years ago with chronic fatigue by a doctor I was sent to for my pain. Up until then my family doctor just kept saying I have fibromyalgia. She retired and my new doctor kept saying when we get your pain under control you’ll have more energy. He said my body is fighting with everything it has against the pain from the arthritis. My rheumatologist said arthritis doesn’t cause fatigue. I’m going to a chronic pain clinic and the doctor says if you sleep better you’ll have more energy. Chronic fatigue isn’t a secret. Why doesn’t anyone know how to help me. There must be a particular kind of doctor that understands chronic fatigue. Has anyone ever been treated by a naturopath for CFS.

The last time I posted I asked what meds people take for pain. I’m seeing a chronic pain doctor and he stopped my Percocet and gave me Oxyneo. I had to stop because of terrible side effects. He put me back on Percocet. I have no side effects with them. He wanted me to try Cymbalta (duloxetine). I know I’ve tried them in the past like I did many other meds but I couldn’t remember why I stopped. Well I had a bunch of side effects on this too. Headaches, nausea, diarrhea. I felt like a zombie so I stopped them too. I’ve read comments on the internet from people that took it and there are way more bad comments than good. I’ve read it’s nearly impossible to come off them if you need to. I don’t do well with pills. Too many side effects. Has anyone here been on Cymbalta. If so I’d like to hear how you did with them. If they worked or not and if you had side effects. I know they’ll want me to try something else again when I tell them I stopped but I’ve tried so many meds in different combinations through the last 14 years. I’ve told them that but still they pushed for the Cymbalta. I know their goal is to get people off opioids and I’d be happy if I didn’t have to take them but they are the only thing that’s helped with my paid besides cortisone shots and anti inflammatories and I had to stop the cortisone and the anti inflammatories because of the issues they caused me. My pharmacist said the doctor won’t leave me on Percocet forever and that they’ll take me off them at some point. What do you do when nothing else works. I was doing not to bad with my chronic fatigue in the weeks before having the side effects from the oxyneo and Cymbalta and it seems like they set me back. I don’t want to keep torturing my body with meds I’ve already tried that didnt work before. I feel like I’m up against a wall and really stressing about it.

I started on 9mg Budesonide on 4th December for collagenous colitis. Consultant said to wean as soon as I felt better. Diarrhoea stopped at 3 weeks but I gave it an extra week and started weaning after 4. I’ve had a headache from the second I dropped the dose, I’m nauseous, dizzy and have ringing in my ears. I feel really unwell but can’t explain why, it’s just this general feeling of malaise. This is day 5 of 6mg. I don’t know whether to stick with it or go back up. I thought it would ease off but it gets worse with every day and I was planning to drop it to 3mg on Thursday. 🆘❗️😩 #InflammatoryBowelDiseaseIBD #Colitis #inflammatory
