Hi I have had my most recent flare up for 6 weeks now. The pain is not the issue this time I'm struggling badly with the fatigue I just can't find energy for anything at all. Has anyone any suggestions?
My fatigue has been a problem for ages, but with a lot of fibromyalgia stress is a massive factor. I found being able to relax and deal with my stresses helped a lot. Try a bath with some bath salts before bed. I have had to change my meds and I noticed a change in fatigue but my stress is back and pains and fatigue back, unfortunately I've come to realise I need to change my job as I don't seem to get better. Hope I've been a little help?
Thank you for replying it's nice to know someone knows how I feel. Think I'm going to have to leave my job. I'm a nurse and my absence has been so bad they are now starting to lose patience. I applied for PIP and am enquiring about medical retirement. I also have ehlers danlos joint hyper mobility. However it's probably unlikely I'll get either and this is stressing me out a lot. I'll try the bath though and maybe see about going for a massage this week xx
Yes definitely try the massage. I forgot to mention I have spoken to some conunsellors, see if therapy will help?
