I am the SAME way. If you find any other miracles let me know. It's terrible, and when I do get up, I am mean and mad for I can barely stand up. I am on B12 30 mg twice a week/shots,but see no improvement with them, and that's a WHOPPER dose.. I am not sure if you have a tendancy to have racing heartbeat/palpitations- but many chronic illnesses warrant something like 'provigil' even to try for 'wakefulness' I can't say if it gave me 'energy' as my heart is too delicate and anything sets it off. I have heard, that co enzyme q 10 helps if taken at bedtime, and started it but don't have results. I go so sick and was worse/vicious cycle as I became a Red Bull addict, coffee, anything that would wake me up just for a while as I got desperate. Now too sick to care for it and it sets off the ticker. I have heard of green tea, see it everywhere and have never tried it. Does that have ginseng in it? that's another one too that is supposed to help. One more thing is a plain old antidepressent whether you are depressed or NOT, like an SSRI that regulates serotonin / regulates sleep. It's one reason alone to start or try one as sometimes all you need is a little more balance. No one should be afraid to try one for sleep pattern disturbances and I wish they would change the 'label/class' of those meds for more would be compliant with them. So this isn't really an answer, it's a 'I hear you' I have been like this for -well since starting treatment in October 08, all day, every day, then I can't sleep at night. It's taken over in that respect for me. So you are definitely NOT alone. What about sugar/gluten? do you consume a lot? Yeast overgrowth is a huge concern as well with Lyme/chronic fatigue/etc....
