Guest guest Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 [Moderator: Check the file section and then post specific questions] 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) http://www.health4youonline.com/health_supplements_solgar_s1028-30.htm 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
