Q&A with Australian Health Practitioners
Could I be suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
I'm on work experience at the moment and this being my first 9-5, 5 days a week job I'm struggling. I thought the first few weeks would be the hardest but it has all gone down hill from there. I'm at the point now where I get up, drive to work, come home, go to bed, wake up next morning and do it all again.
Weekend comes, I'm too tired to do anything. I need to eat to keep myself awake whilst driving and at work. I'm coughing heavily and feels like indigestion/reflux which makes me want to vomit. Sometimes I can't keep my eyes open so I have to sneek to the bathroom for a sleep. Even the smallest of exercise makes me soo exhausted.
Mentally I feel drained and fatigued. Physically I feel like its so much effort to just walk, or keep my eyes open.
I'm on medication (cymbalta) for depression and endep for sleep & a mega B multivitamin. As I'm typing this my fingers are tired, my eyes feel heavy, my breathing is heavy I just want to lay down and go to sleep.
