That's what Fibromyalgia does, keeps you from the restorative part of sleep so you don't feel refreshed when you wake up, no matter how long you sleep. My biggest issue with the fibro is the constant exhaustion. I can handle the pain most days, but being this tired everyday is exhausting. I wish you the best!!

I totally agree. I never seem to feel rested even if I have "slept". My present doc does not believe in fibro and says I don't have chronic fatigue. I have read about it but what are your views, is it just fibro and I have to get used to it? How do they test for cf? I have had menopause many years ago but I have had night sweats then feel cold all through the night. Thanks

Thank you Laura. I wasn't sure if anyone else experienced it the same way I do. I feel the same way. The pain I can handle and get through, its the exhaustion that becomes overbearing.

That's exactly like me! Doc put me on wellbutin and it has helped a lot.

Unlike you I don't get a good night sleep, even when I do get a 6hour sleep I awake more tired then I go to bed. I have tried a number of different sleep meds but with no help. My Dr who is seeing me till mine gets back told me to try Mag-Key supplement.
