Has anyone tried yerba matte for the fatigue? Am looking for something natural since I can't take the ritalin. Can't do provigil or the others cause I have multiple things going on that make me sensitive to side effects so looking to natural.

A friend brought some back from Argentina for me a few years back and I never did try it. I just read about it on wikipedia and it says it is good for working on through the muscles rather than the CNS like coffee caffeine.

I don't have a lot of the common MS symptoms like tireness (not yet anyway). Oh every now and again when I over due it, yes but not generally.

Now that dr found my vit D low, he recd's vit D and magnesium to "boost and energize". Didnt' know vitamin D and mag did this but apparently if low it can make you tired. Also B12 suppliments.  Eating well though is really the best way to keep body going.

Exercise also helps alot. Not overdue it but moderate.

It's a Brazillian herb used in tea. I used it today when I felt ready to collapse and it did seem to perk me up....I'm still awake and putting up green beans.
