geneva Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Do any of you take vitamin supplements that help with fatigue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 I do take iron supplements b/c my iron has been slightly low.I don't know if any vitamins would help with POTS fatigue, unless you are also anemic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 I pop a handful of vitamnis every day becuase of my poor diet. The two that help the most by themselves is QCo10 and a B complex. They dont do much for all the pots symptoms, but they help with energy and mental clarity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamyla Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 I've found that taking supplements to support my adrenals makes me feel less fatigued. I think I currently take a glandular called 'adrenal extract'. I also take extra Vitamin C and B5 in addition to a multi-vitamin. In the past I have tried MSM and cordyceps, although I found cordyceps made it harder for me to sleep. A doctor I used to see gives this list:http://www.drrind.com/adrensupport.asphth, Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tearose Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Good question. Haven't figured this out yet. I take a daily vitamin and extra calcium. The fatigue is unpredictable so I havent been able to sort it out yet. The suggestions above about coq10 and more b vitamins have been mentioned before. That sounds like it is worth looking into. Also, some kind of adrenal gland support sounds reasonable. Let us know when you find the right formula! I'm too tired to figure it out!

genie Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 I take Biometics it's liquid vitamins that does help with energy, I started taking it years ago for migraine headaches. I have had my doc's look over the info and have given the OK for me to take. There are some products that with POTS you have to be careful with but have found what works for me.

denabob Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 I take One a Day Weight smart it has green tea extract ECGC . It raises blood pressure so ask your doc first depending on the meds you take! I asked my pharm. and he said no because it can cause high blood pressure well that's what I need because mine stays so low! My doc said ok so I've been taking them since then and it does help. Nothing will do away with the fatigue but every little bit of extra energy helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justme Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 My wife takes the One-A-Day Weight Smart as well. She can notice the difference when she is off of it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarthMother Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Panothetic Acid and extra Magnesium are on my bedstand. I probably take about 500+ of the Panothetic Acid and up to 800 MG of the Magnesium.EM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Wish I could earnestly say yes to your question...but my answer to you is, no, not really. I have used NADA, aka enada, which seems to help a little. The best thing I've found is to stick to a consistent sleep/wake cycle.Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
