 Thanks for your post. Before launching into treatment, it would be important to understand if there were any other identifiable causes of fatigue- there are many. Ask your doctor about anemia, liver- or kidney disease, sleep hygiene, testosterone levels, thyroid disease, or depression, just to start. If, after a careful examination of the situation, you can't find a reason for your fatigue, then I'd think that it would be entirely reasonable to consider starting on HIV medications. Best of luck, BY | ||||||||
