Try eatting more red meat to deal with low haem iron and Vitamin B12 deficiency. Try exercising and having a regular sleep schedule. If that doesn't work and you don't want to go to the doctor, get a Vitamin B12 injection (for pernisious anemia) If that doesn't work, then go to the doctor because chronic exhaustion is very treatable.

(If you want to self medicate, have you tried adderal or methylphenidate?)

chronic exhaustion is very treatable.

I can assure you, it's not.

Every person who has ever told me "just exercise, take vitamins, get 8 hours of sleep every night, and eat right!" can go to hell.

Modafinil, Aderall, Ritalin and other stimulants do exist.

They sure do. And I've taken many of those before. And some do not work for certain folks. It is not a magic cure-all and there are side effects that come with it the folks need to be mindful of.

no offense but the eating red meat part is terrible advice. there are far better ways to get B12 and iron

Feeling tired?! Just start using addictive stimulants!

Alcohol is addictive, Gambling is addictive. Coffee is addictive. Ritalin is addictive (This is given to kids) The key is management.

Giving another difficult issue to "manage" for people who already have chronic fatigue is not a solution.
