What Causes Fatigue And Loss Of Memory?

I am 63, 5 7 , 154#. Good health but just diagnosed with Mono. Tests show that I have had for a while, but fatigue has been biggest problem with no memory of any of the other symptoms that go with Mono. Doctor states that some test show that levels which are normal at 0.90 and mine 8.00 which is highest that test reads. Dr. has prescribed Vyvanse for fatigue but the things I read about this drug on internet are horrible. What is your opinion?

Hi

I had gone through your query.

Mono can affect your memory in form of registration and recall difficulties.

Investigation like MRI can help to find out affected brain regions.

MMSE means mini mental status examination can help to identify early cognitive deficit which can be part of old age.

vyanse can be given in chronic fatigue syndrome but it is not advisable if you have only fatigue without any other associated symptom.
It is psycho stimulant can be avoid until it is required. So discuss with your doctor about it and get advise.

proper psychological and neurological evaluation will give more confirmatory idea.
so consult and get help.

I hope i have answered your query.

Feel free to ask.

Thank you.
