    I think that most of them are a waste of time. Too easy to end up trying loads of things because they might be of some use, and not realising what a waste of time and money they end up being over a long period of time. Unless there's a plausible mechanism of action and a fairly clear benefit from taking it, I think it's best to avoid taking lots of the things that are promoted for ME/CFS.

    A few things my doctor prescribes after many conversations with me are Thiamine and Vitamin B, which seem to calm my central nervous sytem down.

      And Co-codamol for pain. Wish I didn't have to take that but at the moment I do.

    Hi Andrew

    All I take now is Paracetamol and Oramorph, it takes the edge off. All other meds the doc prescribed I have weaned myself off them, what is the point in taking them when they do nothing but give out awful side effects..Regards..Anne...
