14631020 tn?1436545476 My neuro put me on Ritalin for this bone crushing fatigue a week ago. I realize some medicines take a while to get into your system before they actually work and some medicines are fast acting and you get immediate results. The Ritalin has made me slightly more mentally aware, but I am still bone tired. Should I give it more time or call him and tell him it isn't working?

4140898 tn?1350227655 What causes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? Because i'v suffered from CFS since i was in grade 4 (i'm now in grade 11) but i was only diagnosed with it at the beginning of last year.I was just wondering if it was caused by the bullying i was going through in grade 4 through to grade 7.The bullying was only words by the boys saying i'm fat and stuff like that. I kept the bullying to myself tho.So do you think that could be a possible reason i have CFS? or maybe something else?

Always talk to your doctor about any treatment decisions for CFS which is based on your overall medical condition and current symptoms.

Avatar n tn I (28 year old male) have been dealing with various health issues since November 2013. I had some intense worries over STDs at the end of last year which turned out to be unfounded but caused a lot of stress. Following this, in January, I had an infection that gave me stomach pains which I assumed to be a bacterial or viral issue. The stomach pains were accompanied by fatigue as well but at the time were the main focus of my concern. They did not go away after the infection cleared up.

Avatar m tn •Age. Chronic fatigue syndrome can occur at any age, but it most commonly affects people in their 40s and 50s. •Sex. Women are diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome much more often than men, but it may be that women are simply more likely to report their symptoms to a doctor. •Stress. Difficulty managing stress may contribute to the development of chronic fatigue syndrome.

535882 tn?1396576685 Funny-- I just had a discussion about chronic fatigue syndrome with a colleague only yesterday. Unfortunately we both agreed that we don't know where the science is at this point. I remember CFS from 10 yrs ago or so, when the diagnosis seemed to be more talked-about; I don't know if we are any more enlightened about the disorder now, but back then it was thought to be caused in some people by chronic infection with the epstein barr virus, which causes mononucleosis.
