response: I wouldn't know about side effects. One thing to note is that the evidence that it improves the ability to exercise is pretty low strength.
original_response: well its only used in low dosages as only low-strength doses show evidence that it can improve the ability to exercise.
history: I think I might have chronic fatigue syndrome because I'm so tired all the time Do you have long-term fatigue and other symptoms that limit a person's ability to carry out ordinary daily activities? I have been fatigue for awhile now. What kind of symptoms do you mean? Well, the fatigue is not due to strenuous ongoing exertion, it is not much relived by rest, and it is not due to a previous medical condition. It is unexplained fatigue and severe functional impairment. Yes, it is unexplained. No matter how much I rest I'm still tired. Is pain a symptom as well? I'm not sure, honestly, but there is some evidence that cognitive behavioral therapy and gradually increasing activity can help. I'll have to talk to my doctor about that. Does cognitive behavioral therapy mean I need a psychiatrist? I don't really know, but there is some tentative evidence that a medicine called rintatolimod might help. I definitely will talk to them about that medication. I hope it doesn't have any weird side effects.
knowledge: However, there is only low-strength evidence that it can improve the ability to exercise.
