Question

Hello i have cfs and had lower testosterone levels..my doc suggested clomid. It has helped very much and i have no side effects from it. I use a small dose once and a while. I just want the confirmation that that is okey. I tend to take as less as possible since my cfs is caused by brain disorder istead of an infection.

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Clomid improves the mild hormonal disturbance you might be having causing the chronic fatigue. Since you feel considerably better after taking the clomid, there is no harm in taking it on occasional basis even if you use it for a long term. Please do not worry.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
