Hi there,
The fog, the fatigue, it is a constant in my life and it is causing me a lot of problems. I feel like I haven't truly been awake in years, regardless of how much sleep I get. I drink coffee and take Vitamin B but it isn't enough. I want to start exercising but I am so incredibly exhausted most days I can barely get upstairs let alone actually get exercise. Plus, sometimes I need to be present and alert. It is getting worse, I am gaining weight, and I need to know if there is something, even something extreme, I can do to force myself awake on a case by case basis.
Is there something I can do or take that will make me alert and present, even if just for a few hours?
I have a huge tolerance to caffeine, in high school I would drink the biggest can of red bull every day and my friends and I used to spend weekends staying up and trying new energy drinks. I don't like drinking more than one cup of coffee per day as is, and can't stand the taste of most energy drinks anyway. I can do a five hour energy, and it tends to work most of the time, it gives me about two hours, but I am looking for alternatives.
I really need to wake the heck up, at least every once and a while, so I can take back some control of my life.
