Nothing can fix my fatigue

DX: Hashimoto and Fibromyalgia.
Meds: None, my rheumatology doctor refused to prescribed anything. But I went to a medical marijuana clinic and I received a prescription for medical marijuana under the Canadian medical marijuana program.
That thing is amazing for pain. It helped the pain and flare-ups greatly. I vaporize the one with CBD in it, and the one with a little of THC and CBD in it when I'm in a crappy mood. It also helps with sleep. I sleep like a baby now, truly amazing for fibro.

So, why I'm here..
So far, I've tried everything under the sun for the fatigue. All the B vitamins, D vitamins, eating healthy, more vitamins.
I tried exercising.

Nothing worked.
If I do get more energy, I use it to do things in life, but then I need to nap around 7 or 8pm at night for an hour because I literally can't keep my eyes open. I'm like those narcoleptic people who fall asleep everywhere.

If I don't do anything with the energy, I don't need to nap. But doing nothing = a messy house.
I can't even work anymore because of that. I don't even want a full time job. Something part time would make me happy, but I can't even do that.

I can deal with the pain, but the fatigue is what making my life unbearable. Add to that the arms and body fatigue. Like my arms are carrying cinder blocks all the time and I can't move them for too long. A few minutes will make them feel like I worked out for hours.

I don't know what to do, and when I talk to my doctors about it, they tell me to push myself. And when I do push myself, I end up with more fatigue, more pain, more flare-ups.
I don't know what to do.

Thyroid and Fibro are connected .i have both troubled and can't work due to fatigue.
It can get extremely challenging financially and emotionally at times.

I can relate to you and feel very sad about this situation.

My diet and energy levels are horrible.

I can't keep resolutions so have none right now.

Keep posting and never give up looking for answers.

Savella is a new med prescribed specifically for Fibromyalgia. It helps with fatigue andd fatigue. I guarantee it works because I take it.

Hi,

Years ago an alternative dr. Wrote his newsletter about corvalen m helping with the fatigue with fibro...i was feeling dysfunctional with the fatigue..

I tried it and still take it two decades later..that brand name is too expensive, so now i buy d ribose m , from better health international.

For many years after i took it , i would have to get up and get busy cause it gave me such an energy boost..since i had a vit d crash a couple years ago ..the energy boost is not that dramatic...but still gets me through some long days.....and that weighed down feeling in the muscles is usually not there.

You can google it and research how it works at the cellular level.to provide energy.

It helped me so much keeping up with my kids and often doing volunteer work...i will never be without this supplement for fatigue.

I do not work for or benefit in any way for this recommendation.

Hello, Ljm2014. I have taken D-Ribose before, and noticed no difference, but I don't want to be negative, so thank you, I have startied the start-up protocol for it again, today. One thing I have learned is that things work and then stop working, and vice versa. it's been a few years since I tried it, and in my tired state, a positive change might be more noticeable and definitely it would be more appreciated.

What a timely post. I know you are suffering but just reading your words makes me feel as if I am not alone. I am so fatigued. I have been on vacation since Dec. 24th and I have slept 12-15 hours a day the whole time. This morning I walked around the farm for 30 minutes and had to come back in because I was out of steam. I have new goat kids, a new litter of piglets, calves (even a set of twins) and the garden is growing wonderfully. Everything to be happy about and all I want to do is crawl back in my recliner and go to sleep. This is just miserable.

I'm going to get up and do dishes now and even that small thing sounds like a huge task. I don't know how in the world I'm going back to work tomorrow.

Don't forget the ups and downs you can have from eating sugar. And we have to make sure we get a good night's sleep.

Eating healthfully gives me pick-me-ups. Eating junk food slows me down and makes me feel awful.

And don't forget exercise. There's nothing like a walk out in nature.

Finally, I've been doing the Healing Code, which helps me to meditate, slow down, and reflect on all that is wonderful in my life.
