(My pain and fatigue story)

i had no clue about all this. wishing you the best for your health.

Thanks, man

Appreciating it!
It all started after a viral infection which started out with very low fever but kept me busy about four weeks, followed by fatigue and muscle weakness.
Doctors said it's a burnout (i was a workaholic, but i didn't really suffer from it), so they reccomended b-vitamins, those made me get better to some degree, but some more health problems came up at the time, because i didn't address them before (sorry, i had to work Grin

)

FMS seems to "make whimps out of men", as some victims are describing it, and i can totally understand that point of view, but i got used to a lot of pain from skateboarding already, and i also wasn't the type that tends to give up on himself. Additionally, i was positive about whatever life was throwing at me, most of the time at least.

Taking an extra 250mg of Thiamine (five times the usual dose) resolved all this within a matter of three days.

Five? Are you sure about that? The US RDA for Thiamine is about 1.2mg/day.

Right. 50mg was my daily dose (added to 4mg from my daily b-vitamin pills), an absolute minimum to be able to cope with an ordinary day. It's a lot better in summer (an FMS fact, as i also found out lately).
Doing more physical work requires higher doses, if you don't want to get the pain and fatigue for days afterwards.
It's tricky, because as long as you are active, you don't get really exhausted, but after you stop and start to relax, the hammer comes and hits you.

Warning: Nohomo is the least funny joke in the universe. It was that unfunny the first time and to this day. Everyone sprouting it over and over thinking its hilarious. :roll:

I wasn't aware of it as much as a joke, but more like a statement.

Just saw this, and your other post (too many beers...).

Thanks for sharing, all the very best! We all will have to deal with health issues at some point in our lives, and it is then when we realise how important our health is. Even 1,000,000 BTC is worthless if you can't enjoy it. That's why we have to cease the moment and enjoy our lives whenever we can, and not postpone things for "later"...
