What Safer Options Are There Besides Steroid For The Fatigue And Day-time Sleepiness?
Hello Again Robin:
As do most of the MG sufferers, fatigue is a daily problem. For me, I drink 3 or 4 cups of coffee daily, sometimes with a bit of honey added. I also use 5-hr energy supplement one or so a week. I add half a bottle to 6 or 8 cups of water, then drink the water all day long. I also drink a protein drink or such a few times per week. Keeping physically active also helps. When I feel sleepy during the day, instead of sitting or laying down, I move around or walk outside or do some light chores to get the blood moving. It seems to work for me.
Cheers, Bill Z
