Thanks, Purple Heart.
Because of my migraines, I have had A LOT of work done on me (EMGs, EEGs, MRIs, MRAs, lumbar puncture, liters of blood work, etc.), so there is nothing wrong with my body (perfect health--woot!). I am getting in with a therapist on the 27th of this month, so hopefully something comes of that.
Thanks for this!

I have tried everything for the fatigue, shots, diets, everything I read up on to try, I tried it. The only thing that has helped has been working on my mental illness issues. I work through a problem and I get tiny bursts of energy. If I overdo, I pay for it for days.

Anyone else have fatigue problems or the amnesia?
I can relate and im just figuring out why im so fatigued.I left home at age 13 with a man ten years older. I was in that horrible relationship for 3 years befor I went on to the next . I had a few years where I went to college and dated a dcent guy. a drug addict but he treated me well. I didn't do drugs or drink so it diddnt last. then I dated one that was waaaay far on the other side of the spectrum. he ran five kn a day , he was a kids swimming instructor, he was in school to be a teacher.that did not work out and I felt I could not keep up. I then dated almost a serial killer type guy as ferocious as they come. he killed my dog and video taped it and played it back for me. he gave my dog rat poison and filmed him struggling to breath. he couldn't drink any water and his tummy ballooned up. I had to take him strait to the vet to be put down. the dog was from an ex and he said he wanted any possibility of the guy in my life taken out so he said the dog had to go. Inever even talked to the guy in 2 years. sad. so I am intentionally leaving out HUGE traumatic situations but gave one example of a day in the life to get the ida. now that I am finally free my body has shut completely down to be able to process. its like I had been stuck in panic mode, survival mode and all my energy was used to keep me alive. I never learned anything, I never grew up. Now this is the healing time. my body is completely exhausted as it is not only trying to process all of this chaos but it is trying to figure out how to salvage my life and have some sort of life worth living. it is immensely tiring and therefore I think this is why I am tired all of the time. there is this lady does simatics. look it up its healing by touch. Our bodies are in sympathetic or parasympathetic modes . we want to be in the middle . a lot of people are stressesed and living either too high of an idle or too low. they can make it even out and you will feel more able to cope. I cant explain it any better im sorry. It does help !!!

I don't think that I struggle with fatigue on a daily basis. However, I'm working through another bout of depression due to issues with Cptsd and boy do I feel it. It hurts in more ways than one, and I'm finding that I'm exhausted more easily and just very tired (mentally, physically, and emotionally). I was numbed out for weeks, but as the fog is starting to lift I can feel it more in my body now. I've always had neck and shoulder pain, and this episode has me wondering if that is because of muscle armoring over the years.

I don't struggle with it on a daily basis but yes often times I get really tired. I'm just mentally drained from everything that I've been through. It's stressful. Especially when I am triggered and constantly on edge. Sometimes I need alone time so I can recharge and just relax. Just need a break from people, not because I hate people but because I'm mentally exhausted. It's very emotionally draining all together. This is what some people don't get. Many times I remind myself that I am not crazy, I just am healing from all the abuse I've been through. I often suffer with headaches, backaches and my neck is stiff from stress. So I'm always gentle on myself and remember to always take care of myself.

I'm tired quite often, but I'm not sure if it's C-PTSD, depression, medication, or just not sleeping well. (I'm a bit of an insomniac with severe delayed sleep phase disorder) so who knows?

Most of my childhood and a good portion of my life up thru high school is a blank. Honestly, I'm a bit grateful for that -- I have enough fodder for flashbacks as it is. Starting at about age 34, my memory has gotten progressively worse, and I've lost even more details of things that have occurred since then - even of the good stuff. Sadly, memory specialists are really expensive and not covered by my insurance, so I'm just resigning myself to it. I can't say if that's due to effects of C-PTSD or something else.

Either way, it wouldn't surprise me if C-PTSD was the cause of either of these things.

I remember pretty much nothing but flashes and the beginnings of a lot of situations up until adulthood. Both of my marriages are pretty much a blank. In fact, I don't have a whole lot of solid formed memories until these last few years (I'm almost 50) during which I have had exactly ZERO abusers in my life, for the first time ever. So halfway through, I'm finally making coherent memories, lol!
I also have chronic fatigue but also depressed and have autoimmune condition that no dr has found a good treatment for as yet, so I spend a lot of time just sitting, which I know is unhealthy, but what can I do when everything hurts and I can barely lift my arm?

*sigh* I can finally make memories, and I'm using them to keep track of my medications and doctor appointments, lol.
