Not exactly the same way but yes! I actually came on here today to ask how people deal with their fatigue. I think I’m personally trying to let myself be ok with napping the 2-3 hours I need during the day: I figure I probably don’t get much restorative sleep at night; I’m exhausted by 12/2; and the idea of getting on meds to force myself to be awake seems like a terrible idea because I’m sure some of the exhaustion is from my body fighting the pain. I also have cut out caffeine because it makes me feel jittery, so I’m trying to listen to my body more. I would say that pushing through it for you sounds like (at least today) it made everything a lot worse, so if you CAN I would suggest allowing yourself to go back to sleep after a few hours and not setting an alarm. Just to see when you naturally wake up and to see if you really would sleep 18+ hrs and if that is a common thing for you. Does that make sense? What are your thoughts on perhaps why you are so exhausted?

Haha hi! Wow, see, so good to hear stories like this because fatigue is so demonized and tied to “laziness” that it’s harder to find stories about this that aren’t pushing that same mentality. At the risk myself of challenging literally my previous sentence, is your fatigue better? Did you find that accepting and working with your fatigue helped or was it something else?

That's familiar 😕

I feel exactly the same .. on good days I try to get everything done around the house and I get out with the dog for some exercise but the next day I'm broken totally exhausted every muscle in my body playing up and stiff 😫 have to have a couple of days rest ...its a never ending circle 😏 I feel for you big hugs 🤗xx

Those are bed days. If I don't lay low doing nothing, I won't heal. Takes me sometimes 2 or 3 days of rest. Listen to your body.
