Sleeping all the time

[deechicky]

Ive had Fibro and other things for years , Ive always been tired,    But here lately  Im extemely tired, I sometimes fall asleep while tryn to visit with family, Dr. Appt .. I never make it threw a movie. If I sit 4 any period of time I go to sleep. Its very depessing.  I feel like I have no life. I have talked with my Dr. I printed a list off the Fibro net of meds that were given for energy. He would not prescribe any of these. He esp. doesnt believe in any kinda of Ritalin or anytin like it. I dont know what else to do. That was the last thing I knew to do to try an get him to help me. Does anyone no of anything natural. Or any suggestions at all.

I just started drinking chamomile tea before bed. Coupled with exercising more often the quality of my  sleep is a bit better

By the way EVCO (extra virgin coconut oil) is a top remedy for energy!
I have studied, used and recommended this for years!!

Hi dee - how are you managing your condition?  What kinds of meds to you currently take?

I have to say I totally agree with your doctor and you should thank your lucky stars he isn't a doc to prescribe willy nilly.  Lots of us have become dependent/addicted to our pain meds and ritalin/adderall is a nightmare you don't want - especially if you don't actually have ADHD.  Lots of people are using for energy right now and in few years they are going to find they have a mother of an addiction that they didn't even realize.

I do have some thoughts for you but am heading out of town in a short time.  Send me a PM of what you are currently doing to manage your fibro and then when I get back on Monday I'll respond to you with some ideas.

This CAN be managed if you are open minded, if you are willing not to let it defeat you.

I'll look for your message and we can speak further next week.

I am very successfully managing my fibro by getting educated about alternative options, working on myself emotionally, spiritually, physically.  You can too!
