If you don't use it...you lose it!
Of course we are tired all the time! Its a part of this disease. I never ever nap. Instead I always find something to get involved with. Right now I am making sock dolls and plan to deliver them to seniors living in nursing homes. Find a mission of good will and be of service to others. If I nap then I won't sleep at night. I have a diligent routine of waking very early and staying busy till 1pm. Then thats my rest time with watching movies or whatever. I'm terrified of muscle atrophy. The more we stay immobile then our futures are bleek. My 93 yr old mother gave up on exercise when she reached her 80's and now can't walk. I vow to not walk that same path!! Keep your mind and body strong!!
I get that!.. it took me a while but I no longer sleep in the day now, I keep going it does help at night as I sleep for longer between my leg pain waking me but I soon Go back off to sleep . Great advice 🥰
The more y'all sleep, the more tired you will be. Don't give in to napping!! Push yourself to do something... anything! Organize a drawer. Dust. Rearranged a room. ANYTHING!! Just don't go to sleep!! I've had fibromyalgia for 45 years. In the beginning I gave in to naps, but I learned that the more you sleep, the worse your pain becomes. So instead do easy gentle movements like Tia chi. Bake. Plan a meal. Give yourself a pedicures. Just don't fall asleep.
I bet yr totally worn out Carolyne,🥰 love & hugs
