Sir,
My son of 14 years old facing the the problem of morning sleepines/drowsiness even after sleeping eight hours in night for last four month.Please suggest the remides,
Addendum II: I wish the coca leaf was legal in my country! I hear it has many health benefits and also helps with fatigue! I ordered some Chibese ephedra and my doctor said I can try it, and maybe try Mu Tuang Ephedra tea instead of the adderall. what do you think? I need help with both my immediate daily functioning problems.. and longer term healing of underlycauses of why I have this problem. My aooligies, just trying to explain everything Dr, Sharma.
Addendum: I read that aresenic albumim is one treatment but the idea of taking aresenic scares me! Is there anything else?
Also, I am applying for financial assistance to see an acupuncturist, if it gets approved, do you think this is a good idea? and can you combine Ayurvedic and or traditional Chinese medicines with homeopathy? What about continuing my allopathic prescriptions?
Dear Dr Sharma, I have been experiencing severe fatigue for the past few years, it has become worse the past year. I do not understand why I have this condition but my psychiatrist agrees it is NOT a clinical depression. He prescribes amphetamines (Adderall) after trying Modafinil with poor results. Now, I am getting a tolerance to the Adderall, and I take 30 mg per day of extended release. I do not want an increase, I am 62 years old, and afraid of amphetamines. My lab tests keep coming back normal. I feel so tired and weak on some days (some days are a little better) that I make excuses not to see people, and have a hard time just doing simple things like getting a shower or cleaning my apartment.
I did catch covid 19 a few years ago, and it lingered for several months, so I do not know if there is any relationship. I am retired but have many interests, and want to do things… but lack the energy. I lost 100 pounds with no known reason, but I look better, and my wife passed away in 2016, and I started to get an interest in romance again. But I lack the energy to date any women right now. (let alone sex, I am just talking about having the energy to see someone… that could also be an issue but not an immediate one)
Can you recommend any homeopathic treatments? (I did start taking ginger root, garlic, cloves, cinnamin barl and twigs, and mushroom supplements, and Lions Mane Pora, to try to build up a stronger immune system, just in case that is an issue).
I hope that homeopathy may have some kind of treatment! And I appreciate your help, as I am on a limited income and cannot afford to see a homeopathic doctor.

A condition of fatigue post Covid-19 – even after a good night’s sleep.
Good evening
I am constantly tired and drowsy. I don’t get to sleep much and when I do I wake many times during the night. I’m a single mum of two who works from home so I work when they’re asleep making for late nights and then they disturb me through the night.
I have no energy during the day and in the evenings have problems dropping off to sleep and suffer with restless legs and a general feeling of restlessness
I would be interested in knowing what remedy I could try for this
Thank you in advance
