Help please- no energy for basic tasks i.e. Housework

Hi guys I am looking for advice.
I have sufferered from fatigue for many years but my fatigue became acute 5 years ago after heavy blood loss . I am 31 now .
I was diagnosed at that point with major depression but I knew it was chronic fatigue. Drs still concentrate on trying to cure my depression but I know my lack of energy levels are to blame (and not the other way round) .
All my test results are fine so I am classed a small having fatigue and depression by dr . But they think its my low moods affecting my energy and not the other way round.
My problem is that my fatigue is so bad It's such a strain to keep on top of daily tasks . And so depressing when this takes up all my energy . I seem to have weak arms in general.
On a bad day- having a shower and having to lift my arms to wash my (thick) hair completely tires me out and I have to rest after .
I am taking matters in my own hands now and trying to do some gentle arm exercises to regain strength in them.
My problem is housework. I like by myself and I just haven't got the energy for all the housework . I think about doing it and my body is like 'nope'. I think it is due to my arms feeling weak . And general fatigue .
So I am in a vicious cycle where my flat is a horrible mess and I am too embarrassed to have people round . Cleaning my body and my clothes and my flat seems like such a massive task with fatigue.
There is no one socially at the moment to help me . Friends and family are all very busy. My mom tried to offer to help but she was extremely moody while cleaning up and threw away things I didn't want her to as she was cleaning so fast . And made me feel very bad emotionally . And she also has health problems. So I don't let her and she doesent offer anymore . I don't think she wanted to do It anyway.
I know a whole flat to take care of and living alone is not ideal and makes me depressed but I don't know how to get out of this situation .
I don't want to move out as I have pets that keep me company.
All advice would be appreciated please.
There may be some light at the end of the tunnel as I have recently been diagnosed with some intolerances I was not aware of.. so if I detox these out of my body then it may improve my energy levels .

Hi
Yes I think you did look at the right page as there are 14 ingredients and one of which is Ribose but just for clarification the link to the ingredients is https://8bioenergy.com/category/ingredient/page/3[/b]/
Apparently they are really good for any cfs sufferers that don't sleep well aswel as helping your body supply energy.
Let us know how you get on after cutting out your offending foods, hope it helps you.
Best wishes

Dear spirit animal. I had weakness in my arms and legs too.i couldn't do housework or go to work. My family didn't believe I was ill or help me. Drs ketogenic telling me I had depression, one Dr even told me there's nothing wrong with you because your bloods are normal. The drs are truly crap in diagnosing CFS. Insist on seeing a specialist for M.E/CFS,they won't like it, but insist. Once you've been diagnosed,you still won't get much help. I take multi vitamins everyday and iron, vitamin C and zinc. I also changed my diet to a ketogenic diet,cutting out sugar and carbs. And I feel stronger everyday,I still take it slowly, but I'm hoping I'm on the mend. Good luck to you too!
