Just a quick note to say hi! EmilyC88--hello my friend.I just joined so I could communicate with you. Read your post yesterday. I too acquired cfs at 16. I am 45 now and have been taking Adderral about 3 years. I too have developed a high tolerance. I take about 120 mgs a day but this gives me only about 4-6 functioning hours. I had to quit work and am now looking at longterm disability. How are you doing? I'm very concerned for you as I too feel scared but I am much older and have some financial support from my husband. Have you tried weaning off Adderal? I'm terrified to do so as I will be bedbound. Please let me know how you are surviving. You are not alone...We can get through this together. Truly , Keryn
Thinking about you and wondering how you are today.CFS is a boggling illness, but you can make something out of the rest of your life. Please don't give up! I understand the depression. I've had it. It does get better with time.
