When we say chronic fatigue we are not talking about feeling tired on occasion.  This kind of fatigue stays with you day and night.  Even after a full nights sleep you wake up with that feeling of over whelming fatigue that nothing seems to make better.

You have probably tried all sorts of remedies but with no relief.  Most likely you are trying things like caffeine and other stimulates but in reality they only make you feel worse. Here are a few guidelines that might help you feel better.

• Eliminate sugars and caffeine (green tea should be ok)
• Don’t skip meals especially breakfast
• Keep a food diary certain foods may make you feel worse
• Consider nutritional supplements
• Check B12 levels and other blood test
• Make sure to get medical checkup to rule out other causes
• Thyroid blood test

Most everyone experiences anxiety and that panicky feeling at some time in their life.  This is normal, however if you experience anxiety and panic on a regular basis and its getting the best of you here are some basic guidelines to help you get started feeling better right away.

• Stop all caffeine including chocolate, decaf coffee, soda.  Even if you think your morning cup of coffee is so early in the day how could bother you later in the day.  Caffeine is processed in your body differently for each person and can stay in your system for hours contributing to your anxiety and panic.
• Eat breakfast, even if you don’t like to eat in the morning you must eat something because if not your blood sugar can become unstable causing you to feel panic and anxiety
• If you watch television please eliminate anything that makes you feel the least bit uncomfortable, like the news, intense shows and movies.  I like Turner Classic Movies because they are usually soothing and give that more relaxed feeling.
• Lavender essential oil
• Sleepy Time Tea
• Blood Test for thyroid problems (low and high thyroid levels can make you feel panic and anxiety)
