Crazy day

[Nala231]

Hi all hope you are all feeling ok x yesterday I had a very busy day as my daughter had back to back appointments all day and I had daughter number 2 off school also due to all this I didn't get to sit down all day and was flat out by 11 pm aside from waking a few times I managed to stay in bed for the night and not end up on the sofa as I usually would. I have now slept the whole day only waking for painkillers has anyone else had days like this? I feel utterly exhausted xx

Funny how loads of sleep can be exhausting! Do you know if you dreamt? It seems to be a feature of fibro that we don't. BUT it doesn.t have to be that way. I think it may be why they give us amitriptyline and similar. wrong kind of sleep again. I haven't had it that bad by any means and of course you were unable to choose NOT to do something. Healing gentle hugs

Think it's your body's way of telling you that you did too much, nala23, I'm afraid. This has happened to me a few times now. One time after a particularly bad night, (ibs played up as well as fibro), I had to go home from work I felt so bad the next day. Went to bed at 11am, never got up again till 7am the next day. Hope you feel more energised soon, Julie xxx

Hi Nala

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well a you possibly can be today? Sadly, I have never been able to sleep a whole night or day without needing pain killers. I usually exist on 3 to 4 hours sleep most nights, but on occasions when I am on my own I will sleep in til lunch, as long as I do not have any work to do.

On the times I sleep in I do find it exhausting, almost as if I should have just got up in the first place? But we all need to relax sometimes!

I will say however, looking after children is exhausting anyway!

Take care

Hi, I feel like that today went to London yesterday and did dear too much walking. Today I can hardly move and have been nodding off on the sofa I will have an early night tonight. What painkillers do you use I take ibuprofen but find they don't do anything, I take 10mg of amiltryptaline before bed which helps me sleep. X hope you feel better soon xx

I'm on 1200 of gabapentin 3 times a day and also take 60mg of duloxetine at night which I don't think is helping but my doc said I have to give it another month yet if I'm having a really bad day I take paracetemol and brufen along with everything else hope you feel better soon as I know only too well how you feel xx
