Hi all,

This is my first time posting here but I've been reading the forum for quite some time now. I have been searching for information on this but can't find any and wanted to find out of this symptom is something others experience as well...

I am 33 and was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about a year ago now. My symptoms come and go and vary on intensity. However one of my biggest symptoms is fatigue. I've read that many people with fibromyalgia feel fatigue mainly due to the sleep problems that this disease creates... the thing is though... I actually sleep great for the most part! So my question is.... do others also suffer for major fatigue but don't necessarily have sleep issues? Is it still normal to feel so tired with fibromyalgia but sleep pretty soundly?

Thanks in advance for any answers/advice.

Marie

Marie,

I believe i would answer yes. Many years ago i read an alternative drs newsletter, who said that our fatigue is caused at the cellular level, in the mitachrondia , which is the cells engine...

He recommended a supplement , which was not his own brand, called corvalen m...you can research it...aka d-ribose..

For many years this supplement took care of my fatigue from fibro..until my vit d crashed and the fatigue was way too much.

I still take it and am very dysfunctional without this supplement..

Corvalen m name brand is pricey but it is sold under betterhealth international at a reduced price.

I always recommend people do their homework on this one..i will always take it..since the other fibro specialist habe added it to their recommendations and even made their own brands. I only use the powder form in a glass of water, as i have known others who seemed not to benefit from capsules.

Have you been checked for sleep apnea?
Some people think they're sleeping great but are really waking up during the night some.

Yes yes and yes!
You can sleep like a baby and still feel like you can't crawl out of bed. This is definitely a symptom. -- unfortunately.

Hoping it's a good day!

You should also know that there are people with severe sleep apnea, who swear they sleep well. I don't know if it was on this forum in the past, but one woman thought she slept well and had a sleep study and found out that she had hundreds of arousals each hour. You just don't know with a sleep study, or maybe a recording oximeter (to see if your saturation is dropping). Plus, there's more that can be a sleep problem than apnea.......like alpha wave intrusion, no REM or deeper sleep.
