I'm (73f) going on seven months since covid. I know this extreme fatigue is common. But is equilibrium being off another symptom? I constantly feel like I'm walking drunk or on a boat...without the fun. Is this common?
Has anyone found something that helps with the excruciating fatigue with lc? I'm on month seven since covid and can't deal with the debilitating fatigue.
I've been put on estradiol for chronic utis but told to only use it twice a week. I am following the instructions but wonder if others are using it for utis, and how many times a week.
Has anyone found anything else besides the cream version of estradiol(0.01)? I can't stand the mess, ha. Am reaching out to my gynecologist but my urologist just put me on it for chronic utis. I'm 73f, post menopausal with dryness. Have had both ovaries removed. She said all of that is a breeding ground for utis.
Update: Thanks to all for the tips. I wasn't massaging it in good enough, which left half of it on my finger. Now I know!
Has anyone taken over a year for pain relief? I'm sixteen months post op (Spinal fusion from T10 to pelvis and ALIF L5-S1 for scoliosis) and still visiting pain management with challenging pain. Just wanted to know if I'm not alone. (Please don't tell me "that's not normal") I've tried numerous second and third opinions from surgeons. All say imaging looks fine.
I'm seven months out from covid and exhausted beyond belief. Is this a long covid indicator? Is there nothing that can be done for the fatigue?
I take 20mg at night but wanted to try daytime for anxiety. I took 20mg last night, and then at noon today but my anxiety is off the charts. Will I eventually adjust to it as I stop taking it at night?
Update : Took that dose (20mg) the next day. Huge mistake. Too close to the nighttime dose. Felt miserable and it literally almost knocked me out from tiredness, anxiety and fatigue for twelve hours. Live and learn...
I have normally taken my 20mg at night but lately I have been having extreme physical anxiety symptoms during the day and wondering if I should take it in the daytime. Has it helped anyone's anxiety during the day?
I drink tart cherry juice before bedtime and it helps me sleep. I have anxiety during the day, though, and wonder if drinking it during the day would help, or would it make me too tired? Has anyone ever tried this?
Are there any others who can't take pregabalin only at night because you get withdrawals during the day? I need to try to increase my present dose (200mg) for increasing neuropathy/nerve pain and anxiety, but cannot deal with the fatiguing side effects during the day. I tried dividing the dose daytime and nighttime and pushing through for a week but it didn't get better.
After trying just about all anti-anxiety meds, I have realized they all just make you tired to where you can barely function. It's hard to be anxious when you are comatose. Has anyone found one that doesn't, or is this just a losing battle? I've even tried pregabalin with the same outcome.
Does coffee help anyone's lc fatigue? I really can't stand not being able to keep my eyes open all day. If not coffee, what else seems to help?
Anyone take magnesium taurate for anxiety? If so, do you take it during the day (when my anxiety is worse) or nighttime?
I get up every morning and I'm filled with anxiety, shaking, shivering cold and off balance. I was put on 200 mg pregabalin a year ago for nerve pain and anxiety. It worked for awhile but has since stopped. I did have spinal fusion surgery and I still have pain after a year. I also have long covid and am severely fatigued. No nap ever helps. I wake up with anxiety. I've tried every SSRI, SNRI, talk therapy, psychiatry. I just have such severe side effects to almost every medication. And that increases my anxiety. Has anyone found an anti-anxiety medication that works for physical anxiety symptoms without bad side effects?

Is taking two of these a day a good starting point for taking these? (Night and day) for anxiety. I'm a little confused about the supplemental facts on these.
I don't trust Amazon anymore for buying supplements. But I don't know where else to buy safe ones. Any suggestions?
I'm 73f.My psychiatrist has upped my pregabalin (on it for one year for nerve pain and anxiety) from 200mg at night to add 25mg during the day to help with new neuropathy in my feet. I've been on the extra dose for four days, but am completely disfunctional during the day - nauseous 24/7, blurry vision, drunk feeling, and feel totally sick. I haven't been able to talk to her, but she's always said to push through any increases. I don't think I can handle this new increase during the day. Could I stop the daytime dose after four days without total withdrawal?
I have to go three or four times every morning prior to even getting up for the day. Rather normal, not too thin, bowel movements. I had a colonoscopy with good results. But I'm exhausted and weak by breakfast. Am I getting too much fiber, not enough?
