Hi guys,for 2 weeks now i have been layed up in bed with severe muscle fatigue at 1st the doc's thought t was glandular fever but seeing as my glands are not inflamed they have ruled that out and the blood tests have come back negative.I've had more test and await the results on monday,but seeing as i'm going on holiday on tuesday morning(got to be at Gatwick at 4.30am the wife booked it) Does anyone know of anything that will reieve the muscle fatigue it is agony!!!! all suggestions considered....................

a good 6 mile run

That's not that so far from the truth!

Of course, there may be a serious reason but 'active exercise' really can help and laying bed make it worse.

If you belong to a gym seek advice there / ask your doctor first.

yuppie flu or to give it its proper name M.E. is a serious disabling condition which is often over looked by the meidcal profession as a mental illness

i would look into this if the symphtoms persist

Whenever i had muscle fatigue, I used to mix Poteen/Olive oil together and rub it in -- if you don't mind smelling like a cross of a brewery/chip shop it helped circulation. Queen of hearts is right excercise if you can but ask the doc first... However my pains were usually in the one place. Is it all over or localised ???

heat--- hot bath/hotwater bottle for specific areas
massage- full body +/- aromatherapy
relaxation- a tape- or just a class of wine chill in front of tv- not hunched in front of pc!

gentle exercise is fine- but would do this over the weekend.

both arms and legs and i can hardly walk let alone run lol

rudders should know what he is talking about btw

not saying he does but saying he should

Id take advice from GP.

Never do anything needlessly that could prolong/increase the condition.

Tried some weed ? .......

What effect will Ragwort have?!

Cannabis (weed) has many medicinal benefits i'm told. Arthritis sufferers swear bye it.

As the topic say's 'All suggestions welcomed'

Valium

he's gonna be a heroin addict by the time this threads finished

If you've been unable to get out of bed in 2 weeks then I don't think you're going on holiday on Tuesday.

It is possible that, if you've essentially not used your muscles in 2 weeks, the inactivity could be a factor in itself - muscles tend to seize up and waste away if you're not using them. Do some stretches to loosen them up and then try walking about.

If this doesn't work then you'll have to wait for the next set of test results and get the wife to cancel the holiday.

Ok, everyone who has pm'd me ..... I meant 'active recovery' ....... which, of course, is exercise but very gentle exercise ...... stretching muscles and increasing circulation etc.
