Fibromyalgia & Fatigue

[thester6474]

Hi, I am a 25 year old female that was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in August along with many other things...I have been staying so tired, some days sleeping more than 15 hours....Just getting out of bed sometimes is almost impossible...For you all what has been the most helpful treatment (exercise, therapy or medication) for your fatigue?  All of my medicines cause fatigue and so do all 8 to 10 diagnoses I currently have...Thanks so much for your help.

Hi, I am sorry, I have been pretty busy today..I told you that I had an appointmennt with my PCP today...Hi is about to make me either go to atlanta (4 hours away) or Duke (two states away)...He is sure what I am going through is Neurological as well..He agrees with the fibromyalgia, but believes I also have multiple sclerosis.

Good idea.  Sometimes I bring my 4 inch binder full of labs etc and notes to ask. Did you see him today?  I am still in the pj's I had on yesterday.  Pitiful. I just don't know how I'm going to make it through.  Now that the pain is gone, I really want to stop the Lyrica, but if I do the next flare will send me right back where I was.  I remember the agony, that's one reason I don't stop.  But geez, how can I live like this?

I have to go back and see him today, so I am now sitting here typing up the questions that I needed to ask him, how droll right? lol

My PCP took me off both of my anti-depressants..I just started back up with the Pamelor though.

You can read many of my family problems here and on the Hep forum.  And that ain't all of them!  Sorry you are depressed. I forgot my Prozac yesterday...took it today.  No need to appologize.
