  • Any tips for fatigue ?

    Hi do you guys have any tips for managing fatigue ? I was wondering about electrolytes but I'm afraid of having to high potassium as apparently it can be quick to grow and dangerous.

    It's been 2 years since i'm trying to recover, I am now on b12 injections (cyano, 1000mg) every two weeks and oraly twice a week (cyano, 1000mg). I do take co factors such as : magnesium, B complex, iron (low iron) and folates sometimes (they tend to go too high too quickly). But I feel tired all day despite sleeping 11h at night, I drag myself all afternoon and feel light headed. I feel like I'm not functionning like a normal human beiing, and don't know what to do. I'm 23, my last year of uni after taking 2 years of break because of this nightmare of a deficiency.

    edit : adding info on co-factors

  • Managing fatigue, especially when dealing with nutritional deficiencies, can indeed be challenging. Since you're already addressing some deficiencies like Vitamin B12, iron, magnesium, and others, here are a few additional considerations regarding supplements that might help manage fatigue:

    1. Electrolytes: Electrolyte imbalances can affect energy levels, and your concern about high potassium is valid since excessive potassium can be dangerous1. Ensuring a balanced intake of sodium, potassium, and magnesium through your diet or supplements (in consultation with a healthcare provider) can help. You might consider an electrolyte supplement that contains a balanced formula, but it's important to monitor your potassium levels if you choose to supplement.

    2. Vitamin D: Low levels of Vitamin D have been associated with fatigue. Consider having your Vitamin D levels checked and discuss supplementation with your healthcare provider, if needed.

    3. Adaptogens: Some adaptogenic herbs, like Rhodiola rosea, may help manage fatigue and improve mental clarity. These herbs help your body adapt to stress and could improve energy levels2.

    4. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 supplements, such as fish oil, are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and might help improve overall energy levels3.

    5. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): This is an antioxidant that plays a role in producing energy within your cells. Some studies suggest that CoQ10 supplementation might help reduce fatigue4.

    Since you are on several supplements already, it's crucial to continue working closely with your healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective management of your symptoms. They can monitor your levels and adjust your supplementation as needed to avoid any potential interactions or side effects.

    If you would like, I can help find specific supplement products for these suggestions—please let me know if you want to search for products.
