Interestingly enough, early on in my search for answers, I came across a dr. whom prescribed flurinef (sp?) and it helped get me to a functioning stage. He was an MD who practices primarily naturalpathic remedies. Another metabolism doctor talked me into not returning to see him, but in hindsight he was right on. He had me taking Vit. B12 shots and the flourinef. I'll discuss it with my current doc. Thanks for the info guys!

Background: I like most in here, was in the shape of my life, enjoying my early 30's and all of a sudden this weird illness hitme. I went from Dr. to Dr. and they tried everything from Thyroid tests to Adrenal tests and of course kept calling it anxiety. I went to a CFS clinic at Harborview in Seattle and my new family doc sent me for a TTT and I passed out after 7 minutes (iv of saline only no adrenaline). He then sent me to this website and gave me a prescription of Midodrine. That night I felt weird... Had a major headache and felt like I was on fire. for the next week, I felt like my heart was going to explode and my head hurt so bad, I could even drive. I quit taking and today is the 1st day off of it. My chest still aches a bit, but no head problems or anything. I have severe leg tingles and feel completely fatigued, but better than when I was on the Midodrine. Anyone else have problems with it? Are there other meds instead? I called my Dr. but just left messages. He had me on 5mg (1/2 in am and 1/2 in afternoon) and was going to increase it from there.... thanks! Brian
