Members resonated deeply with the question about extreme fatigue, with many describing exhaustion so severe they could fall asleep standing up, sleep 12 to 16 hours a day, or wake up feeling just as tired as when they went to bed. Several members shared that the fatigue is compounded by insomnia and poor sleep quality, creating a frustrating cycle, while others mentioned low oxygen levels, the need for sleep studies, or medications like Provigil that might help. A recurring theme was the emotional toll of missing time with loved ones, feeling guilty about napping, and fantasizing about just one pain-free, energized day without paying for it later.

@A MyFibroTeam Member sometimes we are too harsh and judgemental on our own selves by try to live up to others expectations or just societies in general. Naps are good, adequate sleep is neccessary no matter what time we get it

I agree with Dorothy, I can't sleep at night, and in the middle of the afternoon, I'm exhausted, but I don't lie down, thinking that if I do, I won't sleep later. but I don't sleep well anyway. And yes, I would love one day with no pain.

All the time ...As if I need to go back to sleep when I wake up... especially if you have pushed yourself for a couple of days ..?

When am I not tired? It's beyond tired, it's terrible fatigue. I can fall asleep standing up if I'm not careful! That can be scary! @A MyFibroTeam Member
