Re: Exhaustion-Fibromyalgia?

[Guest guest]

I know that when I'm going through a fibro flare all I want to do is sleep. I

have had times when I slept 2-3 days, off and on all day! You may be having a

flare right now.

I've been going through the worst bout of exhaustion of my entire

life. And I've been sleeping fine. I cannot stay awake and had to

leave work twice this week and go sleep. Its really scaring me.

Does anyone else have these bouts of exhaustion? Do you think its

Fibromyalgia related? I am hurting a little more, but its not extreme.

Have you had your bloodwork checked recently? I'd be concerned that

the meds are throwing off some levels of something, or affecting

organs.

Our Fibromyalgia does cause on and off exhaustion, but then, so does

depression and hidden physical illnesses, such as thyroid problems.

Before your write it off as just a fibro bout, it would be a good idea

to make sure it isn't depression or something physically out of whack.
