I have had chronic fatigue and headaches like muggy feeling for years and I tried alot of supplements, I have found exercise helps best. I was wondering about sports supplements like Creatine and L Glutamine can they help? It feels to me like the more I stretch and exercise, the more I'm removing tension, fatigue and pain and I need all the energy I can get to repeat this stretching and exercise. Any other supplements you think can help? I am talking the D Ribose, B Complex, Magnesium and Co Q10. I have tried the l carnitine in the past, should I stay taking it? Any suggestions? Thanking you!
