Abstract | OBJECTIVES: DESIGN: RESULTS: Treatment with thiamine led to partial or complete regression of the fatigue within a few hours or days. CONCLUSION: As the administration of thiamine led to a partial or complete regression of the fatigue and related disorders, it is reasonable to infer that the administration of large quantities of thiamine restores thiamine-dependent processes. The mild thiamine deficiency suggested by fatigue and related disorders may be due a dysfunction of the intracellular transport of thiamine or to enzymatic abnormalities most likely related to the autoimmune process of the disease.
