I'll have them

For the doctors out there:

Every day this week I've been tired. Both physically tired and sleepy. I lost interest in doing things and am unsure of what is wrong. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis about nine years ago but have been off medication for six years. Also, I just started a new job. I've been getting over eight hours of sleep a night, yet still find myself to be inattentive and drowsy. I feel as though it could be a few things, but maybe the doctors here will have more questions to help me pinpoint it. If I'm still overtired for the remainder of this week, I'll be going to the doctor.

To me, it could be an arthritis reoccurrence, depression, or sleep schedule change. If anybody has any other theories or suggestions, I'm all ears.

You may have some form of chronic fatigue syndrome.
One way to find out - is to get the kit from RedLabs in Nevada for the RNASE-L panel. It's pricey but will very much identify you as in or out of that group.
Obviously, check your hormone (very difficult for women in their 30's 40's to get that sorted sometimes) and Thyroid of course, do a total Thyroid, T3 T4 Free T3 Reverse T3 etc...unfortunately, you may have Thyroid in the blood but not getting to the tissue...
The Rheumatoid Arthritis is a big clue -- that is an auto-immune issue and CFIDS is also --
Other tests you can check are you Vit D levels
Your CD57 marker for Lyme
Your Complement4 for system inflammation

If you want to mess around with supplements - you may try L-Carnitine Di-Ribose

Obvious stuff like anemia ...

This doesnt sound like mental though...

The two leading researchers clinicians on CFIDS are Dr Paul Chaney out of NC and Dr. Kenny De Meileir out of Belgium.

Few docs know anything about what I'm describing to you above including the tests...including auto-immune docs that DO know about RA.

Call RedLabs and ask them if there are ANY docs within a 100 mile radius of you that have ever worked with them.

Another thing you can try to test via a lab in New Jersey is your Nagalese level.

More obscure and controversial is the Marshal Protocol, Trevor Marshal PhD out of Australia. There are modified protocols of his...you need the Vit D profile to even begin to contemplate that.

Finally - if you do think you have a flavor of CFIDS, the latest new treatment considered safe but pricey is called GcMAF (maf = macrophage activating factor) -- get it from Holland about $100 EU a dose - if you need more info, PM me I can connect you to practices that know about this research, tests and protocols...

good luck...

do a full hormone panel -- might even do the 24 hour pee collection version of that...

cfs doesn't exist
chronic lyme doesn't exist
fybromyalgia doesn't exist

Can't get "I'm sexy and I know it" out of my head. Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle

fuck

monday plus work file broken plus it's like 13 days till christmas FUCK I am not doing anything

Pratt,

I went to pick up some beer at the Cresson Inn yesterday. Quite an experience, as the bartender was older than the city of Philadelphia. He couldn't find the beer I asked for (it was right in front of him and the other patrons broke were yelling at him as he tried to find the beer). He then had a hard time bagging the beer and said to me "I would never make it at an ACME." The patron immediately next to me says, "well, just go work at Shop Rite." I completely lost it...

haha, got my first sixpack there at age 16. I was a very, very, VERY young looking 16 year old, too. Took my two year old brother in with me on my shoulder, and said "now, when we go in there, call me 'daddy'". When we went in, he just kept saying "but YOU'RE not daddy!".

Our strategy prior to then was to get the bums who lived in the train station (Walt and Skeeze) to go in for us. We'd give them a buck for each 75 cent quart.

Awesome.

That place is iconic.

so, might have lost about a month's worth of 3 people's work on a high profile project.

why did you do that

Yeah that doesn't sound good at all in any way

fire the DC
