What Is The Remedy For The Muscle Fatigue, Weakness And Stress In A Diabetic?
I have Type 1 Diabetes- going on 36yrs. I do have elevated peioxidase antibodies, last test done 2003. My tsh has been in normal range but jumps around ( .99 then up to 3;75 or 5.0) within 2 months. Right now, I am having problems with muscle fatigue (pain or burning), along with lethargy. Have trouble thinking; and feel very stupid. i am taking ADHD meds for ADHD and this is the reason I can get up out of bed. I have muscle cramping with muscle spasms that may keep me awake at night. Ive been to my doctor and she wants me to take PT, dont think that will help. also I recently took a clinical exam that I failed because I went foggy under stress and couldnt remember how to do easy math or how to give an injection. Very embarrassing, I What should I do? Debbie

Dear sir
Muscle fatigue, weakness and stress in diabetes patients is very common as it may be due to hyperglycemia'
Secondly you are making a fact that you are sufferring attention deficit hyperactive disorder which is very much worrysome. Which needs immediate attention and treatment.
It is due to decreased vital vitamins and increased oxidative stress.
The main step is to control hyperglycemia and to control other vital parameters such as blood pressure and cholesterol.
A course of antioxidants and vitamins will solve the problems. Even a course of vitamin d3 supplementation is essenstial
Thanks
