Re: Severe Fatigue-Sleep Apnea.

I have been to 3 sleep studies and do have very mild apnea. with the

drugs I take (Neurontin & Flexeril)I sleep rather well but don't wake up

refreshed AT ALL.

use CoQ10 and protein pills (I use Optimum " Superior 2222 Amino " brand. I

get it from GNC, but any protein liquid or pill from any health food or

alternative food mart -look in the body building section) to help with my

energy problem, but those are only small increases. What really helped me

was getting a sleep study and finding out I have sleep apnea. Neither my

doctor nor I really thought I had sleep apnea since I only had occasional

mild snoring. I found out I did and being on the CPAP machine, has been a

definite boost in my energy. I'm still far below normal, but now, if I have

a bad night, I still have a good chance of being able to do something the

next day. Before CPAP, if I had a bad night, I wouldn't be up to doing

anything the next day. I really recommend getting a sleep study if you

haven't already since apnea is common with fibro. Just simply having fibro

(along with some morning headaches) was what convinced my doctor to send me

for mine.
