Energy levels

Hi,

Does anybody else suffer with a dreadful lack of energy .almost like everything you have has been taken away and keep stumbling  ? I feel as if i have been injected with a small amount of diazepam ? every morning i have emotional problems a lack of energy and i stumble, like i trip over my own legs ?  I again have tried to get support this week from a well known organisation who have tried to pass the buck again.so i go back to where im  supposed to be getting the right support and i receive a envelope which looks like the contents were printed on cheap toilet paper . I guess any information  i would like to be informed about will have to come from you tube or google.  They wonder why when people struggle they are forced into isolation because they feel like there isn't the right amount of support out there.

    Speak to your GP - there are now more specialist services to look at this - it can be CFS / ME - but it can also be a number of other things - it's often a process of elimination to get down to the root cause - if they can find one.   

    Some health authorities have dedicated CFS / ME teams that can often help.

    In my experience, there tends to be two things that can cause these symptoms - one is a real medical problem - difficult to diagnose - the second is a combination of long-term mental health problems that just gradually crush you.      They are often much easier to help when the team can see you.

    Identifying what's causing your symptoms will be the first big step.

    I had a brain injury some years ago - one of the long-lasting outcomes was a total lack of energy - it has caused an awful lot of problems in my life - they eventually diagnosed CFS after about 2 years of being passed around the various departments and specialists and being thoroughly examined and tested.
