Members connected deeply over the relentless exhaustion that comes with fibromyalgia, with many describing waking up feeling just as tired as when they went to bed and struggling with fatigue that lasts all day, every day. Several members shared that chronic pain, poor sleep quality, sleep apnea, and insomnia compound the problem, with some needing medication just to stay awake during the day and one member sharing they've been bedridden from fatigue for 26 years. A recurring theme was learning to accept this exhausting reality as part of life rather than fighting it, finding strength through faith and community support, and showing grace to themselves when even small activities leave them completely drained.
