Chronic fatigue syndrome and oxycodone

[Simyboye]

Hi there. I've suffered with chronic fatigue for the last 20 years, spent thousands on pills and potions but then I started having back pain and was given oxycodone. However this seems to help my fatigue and can be like a normal human with energy. I've had very bad days with oxycodone so wanted to know if there's something similar that I could take without having to use oxycodone? Or is it the oxycodone that's giving me the energy.
Thank you

This is a complex question. Chronic Fatigue is devastating. By relieving some of the pain, the narcotic is allowing you to function and therefore have ‘more energy’. Bear in mind “energy’ is a simple word for a complex metabolic process. And yes many with CFS and other chronic pain diseases feel more energetic with a opioid.
The challenge is that all medications are really poisons with a good side effect. Opioids especially. There are limits and dangers to opioids.  
What you need is a good, kind and compassionate doctor who will spend time , monitor and guide you. They are tough to find. The current insurance/administrative world discourages that type of care. Most physicians are employed with production quotas. Chronic disease care does not meet the plan.
Good luck. There are better days.
