I have some helpful news - I have had chronic fatigue like symptoms for about 5 months now and I recently saw an immunologist - who is one of the best in Australia - and he prescribed an anti-depressant called Aurorix (maybe called Manerix overseas) - which has an active ingredient called moclobemide - I noticed a huge increase in energy levels within 2 weeks of taking it - you can use it even if you arent depressed - howver as we all now chronic fatigue leaves you feeling in a depressed state although not in the ordinary meaning of depressed. I just realised that you arent supposed to take it with certian foods like broad beans and I only just felt a little worse over the last few days as a result of having such foods . You can look on the following website to see what foods - www.inhousepharmacy.co.uk/anti-depressants/manerix.html.
Also I had a few questions - do other people with this problem feel like they are focused on their breathing although they know all is OK? Also do you have tightness in your neck muscles at the side and the back and what can you do to help this?
