Thank you to everyone. I don't feel so alone in this.

Laura🌷, Yes, Many of us have CFS…Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I was diagnosed with it shortly after diagnosed with Fibro. It’s one of Fibro’s MANY symptoms😕. Everyone is different ofcourse, but many of us have it

I find my fatigue gets worse in the fall. The changing weather, the darkness & lack of sunlight , sleep disturbances …… who know why. The one thing I do (besides eating properly, taking mega vitamins etc) is stand most of the time. If I sit down I’m asleep within minutes, when my husband was alive it drove him nuts! I use a standing station at work but I think I’ll have to retire this year. I also find I get my best sleep from 4am to 9 am so now I work a later shift. You need to find what works best for you. Sending you hugs and best hunting!

Hey Laura,
One thing to consider: have you started any new meds recently? I just quit one that had so SO sleepy I couldn't sit down without falling asleep! I couldn't read watch tv, and was afraid to drive.
Otherwise, I do have bouts (flares??) with the fibro that leaves me more fatigued than my normal.
Take care hope you find some good answers! Love,
Deb 😘

Hi I am one of those rare males who has had Fibro for 17 years. Dealing with the pain on a daily basis is bad enough but the fatigue is far worst and as others have said it's as you feel like you are drugged all the time. Small task are hard to focus on, or even to get the engery to do them. Don't know when the last time I got through a TV movie or sports event. I had two sleep studies and they found nothing but still refuse to give me something to stay awake. I do take massive amounts of caffeine pills during the day but that often doesn't help. For me the fatigue is by far the worst part of Fibro and I feel for anyone who also goes through it.
