Doctor and Patient Reports on CFS / Fibromyalgia
One patient reported suffering from very severe fatigue, and said in a normal day he felt he was functioning at about 65%. After 5 weeks he said, "…this morning I feel very close to 100%, I can't even imagine I will feel tired later." He also reported greatly heightened morale saying, "I am noticeably not anxious about anything today. Right now [I am] feeling balanced… For many months earlier this year I didn't look forward to anything, [I was] joyless." He said that his energy level improved within the first week on the drug. He reported that he felt "like my old self", and he even had energy at the end of the day.
A patient who had contracted infections mononucleosis over two years ago later developed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome to the extent that the patient could not walk. While it took several weeks on Taurox, by six weeks he found he was feeling much better. Previously he had been a weight lifter, but had found he would have a "down day" followed by three or four days of flu-like symptoms if he tried to exercise. Now, though, he has been lifting for three weeks, taking five-mile hikes, and has no feeling of weakness of sickness.
