So I have been DX with an autoimmune disorder called Hashimoto's Disorder. Can anyone tell me what they are taking for the extreme fatigue associated with this disorder?

    There is no specific treatment for the fatigue however, once your thyroid meds kick in ( it can take weeks), you will start feeling more energetic.

    i noticed the effects of Synthroid after a few days... it helped with cold intolerance as well as the fatigue.

    unfortunately I also have Sjgorgens which causes  fatigue ....

      I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Sjogren's too.  So far my thyroid is still okay.  I also have ADD and I take Adderall for that.  That is the only medication that will get me out of bed.  Without it, I will stay in bed all day.  I am so fatigued and have extreme pain from burning mouth syndrome and nerve damage in my lower lip.  I am very stressed and depressed and I do feel for you.  I am 66 so my health is not getting better and I am alone so things are getting more difficult.  I will keep you in my prayers.  With blessings, donna
