CFS 10 YEARS, (LOW mental ENERGY) = NEED SUPPLEMENT ADVICE

Hi there. I was struck with a viral infection 10 years ago, still

undefined. Initiall acute symptoms were fatigue, headaches, diarrhoea

or constipation, lymph node enlargement at back of head, neck and

groin, glossitis, fungal infections and so on.

Later after 6 months of adjustments taking place in my body i was left

with ongoing symptoms (which have remained stable for the last 10

years) of

-morning fatigue

-restless sleep (unless i exercise or stay awake one whole night)

-irritable bowel syndrome with constipation and bloating

-very low mental energy (VERY BOTHERSOME- i cannot read for more than

30 minutes without needing a rest)- after 30 minutes everything i read

DOESNT MAKE SENSE, I FEEL FOGGY AND CONFUSED LIKE I WAS STUDYING FOR 5

HOURS. (YET i dont have this problem while on the computer- it seems

that the comp activates my HPA axis or something and i dont feel that

foggy or confused)

-lymphadenopathy

etc etc

I quit my studies for many years now, because of inability to read for

longer than 30 minutes at a time, and concentrated on sports. Finally

ended up developing adrenal fatigue after two overtraining incidents

from too much weight lifting and coffee intake.

Now im struck with both but i still care about being able to study.

So, i wanted your info on supplements to take to get a clearer mental

thought and energy in order to be able to study for 2-3 hours at a

time. I need to finish my school, i feel so many guilts, 10 years and

i have done so little for my case. Only problem i really managed to

deal with is constipation and that is still only at some intervarls

not every time. Now i cant drink coffee or any sort of stimulator and

constipation and bloating is even worse.

I have done all sorts of sophisticated testing regarding

adrenal stress indices

thyroid testing

all sorts of hormone testing (even prohormones and metabolites)

everything is ok apart from the low cortisol due to the adrenal

fatigue but this hasnt really affected the way i read, its the same

all this 10 years.

The only two supplements i have tried and seemed to help in the past was

a) Solgar Earth Nutrients (but cant take it longer than few days i get

massive bloating)

Moodmax (strange supplement with many substances that i dont like

to ingest -like saw palmetto- affects my libido. Yet took it 3-4 times

and felt incredible concentration and thought clarity

So pls, if anyone knows or has tried or has had similar problems like

me, this sort of functional brain fog that appears after 30 minutes,

pls suggest some good supplements that have worked for MENTAL ENERGY
