I am 2.6 years into this whole deal for me, and my crashes are starting to come into focus in regard to cause. For me it is lack of quality sleep, over exertion, or allergies that compound the underlying condition that ME is. Trying to minimize the random onsets of crashes can make life a bit easier. Anything unknown to most humans causes a lot of stress and anxiety. For me the combination of NT factor, small testosterone injections weekly (which get me in the middle of the normal range), D ribose, and Vyvanse (small dose, 30 mg) have kept me at an even keel so to speak. I too have certain periods at my job where you need to answer the bell, and put in more time. I tread lightly now versus trying to be a tough guy and just gut it out. Keep us posted on the crash Patrick, and this too shall pass!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17670707841180316867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695992297755175196.post-68214573312454829942013-05-14T14:32:11.896-07:002013-05-14T14:32:11.896-07:00I look forward to the day when these crashes start...I look forward to the day when these crashes start to make sense :)<br /><br />Thanks for letting my know your experiences.

Major crashes usually include other new weird symptoms that after you get checked out by the doctor and find that it's not some new disorder, are just something to accept as a new crash-induced symptom and will probably go away once you have re-gained some strength. The best thing is not too get too stressed about the symptoms once I doctor has checked them out.Corinne Segurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16280898047647601675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695992297755175196.post-10491797090990488182013-05-13T03:08:21.722-07:002013-05-13T03:08:21.722-07:00Congratulations Patrick!!!
