I have learned over the years that sticking to a set bedtime and wake schedule has helped more than one might imagine. I am ready strict about this. Exercise is vital too. I love being outdoors for at least 30 minutes each day and I am not happy if this doesn't work out. I live in the Pacific Northwest and it rains a lot so a rain jacket ( or two) is necessary equipment here. Eating nutritious, non processed, gluten free food is on my menu daily. I still have fatigue, however, it would be far worse. Everyone is unique, so do what works best for you.
It took years and years to even get a diagnosis. Doctors kept telling me "oh you're a mom, it's normal" No sir. This is not normal tiredness that is fixed by a good night's sleep. I have MCTD and Sjogrens and the fatigue can get so bad. Change in diet helped. I used the AIP protocol as an elimination diet and after 6 months was able to pinpoint foods that exacerbated pain and fatigue. Working on pain helped with fatigue too (for me, gluten and nightshades). I got a reverse osmosis filter for the house. I also use a turmeric/rhodiola/ashwaganda supplement when I feel myself getting run down has helped a lot both with the energy and brain fog. Turneric is anti-inflammatory and the others are adaptogens.
Thanks for this video. I thought I was so tired from RA, but just recently I was diagnosed with HEART FAILURE, I'm on 6 meds and now I know why I was getting more and more tired, on top of it I have chronic sleep issues. I exercise daily ( walking) for 50 minutes , trying to eat healthy and take a nap if I need to. I'm blessed that I'm retired and can rest whenever I need to. ❤
It’s so refreshing to hear you talk abt integrated medicine! My rheumatologist told me I was wasting my time going gluten free & on autoimmune diet! We have a rheumatologist shortage in Utah & I’m very disheartened by him! If he has to spend more than 5min with a patient every 6mos, he acts like you’re taking up his precious time!!
Thanks for sharing your experience. I was diagnosed with RA and Sjogrens around two months ago and I've been on medication ever since. Unfortunately my flares are still ongoing. I've started a "healthy diet", no salt no sugar, high fiber foods, nuts, lots of vegies and fruits with little amounts of meat every other week only for 6 weeks now but I still haven't felt better. I was feeling down lately because I'm trying to get better without substantial progress. However, your story gave me hope and motivated me to keep going. Thank you and please give us tips on daily lifestyle changes and useful exercise especially during flares.
I have the same RA sjogrens. My disease really took off at menopause. I feel your pain. I eat seriously clean gluten free etc I cannot get off of prednisone every time I ease off I flare again. Its so frustrating. My rheumatologist wants me on xeljanz but my insurance company is holding me hostage, they want me to pay $ 2400 a month co pay. Seriously? I don't want to take medication/biologics but I am falling apart. This winter has been the worst. Now my youngest daughter has symptoms and I am devastated! Thanks for sharing your experience. I feel like I am not understood.
@@nancys2839 Please remember that stress worsens our flares. Don't be devastated. We're in a battle and we will win it. It's hard to keep yourself together with all these challenges, sometimes you feel like you'll break down, that you're burnt out. But, you know what? I decided not to give up or give in to the disease. It's ok to feel weak, tired, devastated. But, I'll shake it off. I have a life ahead of me that I want to live. The disease is but one of life's challenges. Que sera sera (I'm trying to stay positive, it doesn't always work, and most of the times I break down into tears... So what!! Do whatever makes you feel better) . We'll win the fight💪
@@sandramoh7256Thank you for your words of experience and wisdom. You're right its a battle and I am not giving up. My daughter is on disability and lives with me and her dad. She has celiac and it went undiagnosed for about 15 years, I feel devastated because she ihas been working so hard since that diagnosis. Her gastroenterologist said she has made some progress but likely not get much better from the celiac damage. She's beautiful, 6 ft tall and a super good kid, she struggles to keep her weight up. Now with the RA and severe fatigue it's been tough to see her struggle. I love her very much of course. It's rough seeing your child in pain. Again thank you and keep up the good fight!
I've always thought that with having RA and Hypothyroidism, these two are enough to cause chronic fatigue. I take Traxadone to help with my sleep. During the day, I'm more awake, once I get past the mornings. Thanks for your help always.
Many people use Dr. Stephen Sinatra supplement stack that includes CoQ10, L-Carnitine, D-Ribose, and Magnesium described in his book Metabolic Cardiology. The objective is to boost ATP production in the mitos. Vegan diet are low in these nutrients.
This Worked for me : -High Protein diet 70-80% (Animal and/or Hemp powder ) -Glycemic optimisation (ACV After métal /good Glycémic carb) -Sport (Yes sport on fatigue to wake UP body) -intermittent Fasting -Lemon juice with Salt (Électrolyte IS Key) -Magnesium (400-600mg) -Good Multivitamines ALL day -BulletProof Coffee (Coffee with butter/olive oil or Coconut oil + Cacao powder ) Supplement Optional and/or Cycling : -Acetyl L cartinine 1-2 gram -Sulbutiamine 200-600 mg -Creatine 1-3 gram -Vitamine C -Ashwagandha (good quality)
I send a lot of your videos over to my Dad who is currently debilitated in bed , last two days because of his hip Rumatoid, he hasn't had a flare up for a long time , he is on injections once a week , he eats all the wrong things , GMO soya oil latest introduction to his diet probably doing it . I threw it all out when I noticed because there is so much information out there to help including yours . I don't have any illness and still don't desire GMO Or E numbers as a rule . It's quite exasperating , he didn't eat all day yesterday or today so case of wait till he can move again . If you have any tips for situations like this throw them this way , he strangely only started taking Boswallia supplement very recently that wouldn't course a rare response would it in a rare case ? 🤔
These may help get him off some or all of his medications and help others in similar situations.🙂 Dr Ken Berry th-cam.com/channels/Ima2WOQs1Mz2AuOt6wRSUw.html Dr Berg th-cam.com/channels/3w193M5tYPJqF0Hi-7U-2g.html Ben Azadi th-cam.com/channels/Uh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ.html

I have recently started taking two magnesium before bed, and wow have I noticed the difference. sleeping and dreaming.
may I ask what type of magnesium you're?

Taurine is used in energy drink and cheap. Cordyceps also give a kick.

Sorry, I don't have CFS to know how it feels. I take supplements above for heart problem.@@romaindacosta8200
How do you deal with fatigue in MS? Thank you!!
Sorry, I don't know. Dr. sinatra book covers CFS, Fibromyalgia, mitochonria cytopathies, and various heart conditions. No MS.@@pattischmitz2680
Looking forward to details as to stimulative vs relaxing Adaptogens! Thank you. (Very light sleeper here, dx’d PsA, and age 65)
Sounds great!
Can you please talk aboit Hasimoto's? Thanks in advance.
NAD+ is involved in one of the last stage of the Electron Chain Transport. But, NAD+ is so expensive.
Thank you 💙👊
