My symptoms are similar as I was sick as a child when I was in the heat working in huge family vegetable gardens. I felt better in later years in other seasons. I then got whooping cough at age 14. After that, my energy level decreased until I got pregnant with my first child. I then got a lot of energy after he was born. I was able to go nonstop almost hyperenergy. Over time however my energy got less and less. Now I have what I call a lack of energy. I have to use my little bit of energy bank very wisely. I get up more tired than when I go to bed. Hugs and prayers. God bless.

It seems that every time I manage to "control" (survive) my current symptoms fibro always manages to give me some fun new ones. While it's not the same as your situation, I started with just wrist and leg pain, then back pain started, then nerve pain, then fatigue, then foot pain etc. It's not technically considered a degenerative condition but it sure feels that way.

My fatigue has gotten worse over time and I also have intolerance to activity.. right now I am recovering from Christmas and spending time with my granddaughter. Big flare followed by intense fatigue..resting and sleeping mostly.

I have found one of the most frustrating things is I don’t know why or what is causing my various symptoms.

I have the same problem -although I never know if my throbbing pain & fatigue is a result of my depression ,my fibro.,or my degenerative joint disease ..ugh
