If my blog has had a change in the attitude over the past three weeks, it might have something to do with Network Spinal Analysis (NSA). I don’t know much about NSA, I’ve simply been receiving it about twice a week, and I feel like it has helped me to rediscover my backbone.
On the other hand, I’m a serial enthusiast and should not be trusted in these matters. I’m on a constant search for a way out of my chronic fatigue and ill-health (which has plagued me since one day in February in 1988 when I woke up with what felt like mono and this has never seemed to leave me, I hate trudging through life feeling sick all the time).
Warren emails:
Luke,
Regarding your fatigue, do you think there’s any chance that it’s dysphoria (chronic, low-level depression) intermingled with anxiety?
Have you ever taken a dual action anti-depressant like Cymbala? It increases both Serotonin and Norepinephrine, and the increase in Norepinephrine should really give you a boost in energy. Cymbalta helps with both dysphoria and anxiety.
A generic version just went on the market, so it’s not even expensive anymore. It takes a few weeks of getting through some mild intermittent nausea, but after that you might feel great – like a new man. And it has much less chance of causing undesirable sexual side effects than other anti-depressants.
Just knock off all those “brain boosters” and any herbal stuff you’re taking – and ask your Doctor if you can resume those after you get adjusted to it.
