Hi, I'm brand new on here so there are probably others with better advice giving skills. Here's what I do: I rest and force myself to do something easy every 30 minutes like put a load of laundry on, make the bed, or go get the mail. I know there's discouragement around caffeine, but I couldn't function if I didn't have a little help so I take a One A Day vitamin that has 120 mg of caffeine. Last, I often put my headphones on to listen to something relaxing or engaging (a fav podcast) while I do dishes or clean the kitchen. There is something about being able to get lost in what I'm listening to that helps me move or accomplish goals. I hope this is helpful.

I hear you Janet about the exhaustion it's debililatating! I think I have ADHD also. I'll let you know if I get a precription and how they do.

I had extreme exhaustion for over 6 months, Lyrica and Amitriptyline along with mindfulness and deep meditation through hypnotherapy (marissa peer's course) have worked wonders for me and am back to some bit of normality.

Have a sleep study done. I was feeling that way, and when I had a sleep study done, it was found that I had sleep apnea. Sleep problems go hand-in-hand with fibro. I have been using a C-PAP machine for years, and my sleep and morning fatigue are much better. Also, try melatonin at night and maybe a Tylenol PM. It sounds as if you need to get into deep sleep at night. If you do not, you will feel extremely exhausted all the time.

The thing is with me, I have no trouble sleeping. Sometimes I wake up whenever I need to reposition myself. I get up more tired than when I went to bed.
