Hi my fibromite friends.

Ive been awake for the past 2 nights. Ive been a le To get some rest throughout the day.

2 hour rest ..thats like being in heaven right now.Ive been reading some of your poste and am so sad To hear your suffering.Fibro for myself is such à hard course To conquer.

I awake this morning ??? Awake well crawl out of bed still with no sleep.pounding headache..feel way off..totally drained and back To thinking wow...here we go again. Life can be difficult at the most of times with this fibril so today is a little bit of a dip for me I've just been resting just relaxing laying on the couch and thinking. I hope this is over tomorrow just one day to be happy and be able to get out and enjoy life would be so so nice I remember one point in my life when I used to get up in the morning and I can do cartwheels lol lol lol now I'm lucky if I can push a cart with wheels on it never mind me doing cartwheels well I guess I gotta laugh in at least my sense of humor is still here I guess I just want to say thanks to everybody on the site here being so open and honest and giving all the suggestions in just sharing how their day goes when they're having a bad day it really makes you realize that tomorrow may just be a better day after all thank you so much to all my fibro friends wishing you all the best.

Hiya

I'm regularly awake, I take melatonin that my friend in America sends to me which really helps but my body just can't get past the fact that it prefers to sleep in the morning, be a zombie all day and wake up about 9pm to 3am! I didn't sleep at all last night and only had 3 hours on Sunday night but I'm surprisingly OK.

I've been doing a lot of reading recently and adrenal insuffiency or hormone issues related to cortisol production can be a major factor in sleep regulation.

I manage to get into a normal rhythm for a couple of days days and feel great then slowly over next couple of days or so I sleep less then not at all for a couple of nights. Then the cycle starts again. It makes no difference if I nap in the day, sleep all day, rest or have a busy day - the cycle stays around the same.

I'm working with a new GP through all my diagnoses, symptoms, meds and issues to try and get some more stability with my fibro but these things take time but I feel now they will be fully investigated to see if anything that can be managed/controlled can be found. I think this would impact positively on my fibro as I'm on the edge of or in a flare most of the time. What I'm trying to say is You might want to consider going through symptoms with your GP.

The whole of fibro is hard to deal with but having a sense of humour and positive outlook help me stay sane! I was feeling very down and negative as things got so bad I had to stop working in the summer - I loved my job and I was good at it. Im doing some OU study at the moment so that I have something to focus on.

I'm so lucky I have a very supportive partner, friends and family. it's also very good to connect with others with fibro on here, via FB, Twitter and as part of my local support group - the only people that truly understand the struggles are our fellow fibromites!

I find this forum brilliant for sharing moans and positives, it's a great support to me.

Hope you find some sleep and rest!

All the best
