Fatigue getting out of control, any advice?

[Sheryl]

OP: just a thought, but you mention that you do "heavy strength training". I don't know how heavy is heavy, but there is something called "Over training syndrome" which causes chronic fatigue. It is mainly limited to competitive athletes because it occurs only with extremely large and frequent exertion combined with insufficient rest.

I don't know if what you are doing is extensive enough to make this possible. But in any case you should adjust your level of physical exertion to what seems to leave you most energized in the intervals in between. As you have a history of cocaine abuse you are likely one of these people with a tendency to get "hooked" on surges of adrenaline. They aren't good for you and over time will contribute to chronic fatigue.

I'm not a doctor but this could be environmental factors. Try checking yourself into a good temple away from the cities for a week. Clear your mind, your energy and your body.

if your serious, your a supplement holiday imho.

stop all the weight lifting supplements and all but essential (what a dr.says is essential not you) prescription type meds, wait a month.

Take statins?

[Sheryl]

No. He has already described what meds he takes. Just supplements.

blood test: actual values.

What do you do all the day...just an overview

What vitamins/supplements you take and how much

training details

living conditions

what you eat

only as example: hard training that is OK in cool area, in Thailand + to hot at the recovery time can drain you out.

hard training and you always eat meat but not in the heat you eat fruits but train the same may cause problems

details details details

I am not a physician...so please ignore my post if i am too far afield...i was a psychologist a while ago...and i had a client that had chronic fatigue syndrome...maybe a physician here can enlighten everyone...

Sad to hear about your health...the CPAC is a pain..have one too..

Find a hobby.. really.bike or do something physical for your body..

you will find your way..

Modern science medical technology... over dependency ...when all you really need is a walk on the beach and a less stressful life..

best wishes.

What is fasting glucose level and score on and A1C test ? Pre diabetic that most Dr.'s don't even bring attention too plays big role is energy levels . Also full thyroid panel massive amount of population has low thyroid and again Dr.'s miss until it get bad and then just treat symptoms much of the time . Get that full thyroid, fasting glucose level and A1c test and really investigate the numbers .
