    Type 2 and chronic fatigue syndrome

    Type 2 and chronic fatigue syndrome

    Ask if your doc will do as mine does Vicky and rotate the tramadol and dihydrocodeine every 3 months , it does help keep the edge of the pain. I did ask for gas & air but they wouldn't give it on prescription.

    Type 2 and chronic fatigue syndrome

    Thanks Lizzie I have been undergoing tests for everything else over the last 2 years with them all coming back normal so I have been advised that it must be CFS.

    It does take a couple of weeks to get your BG's under control as your body needs to burn of all the fat ect. that is stored in your body it will come just be patient and keep doing what you are doing.
