Physio is useless really, with you having the little one theres no much options for helping you get some sleep, try having naps while she/he sleeps, anyone moans tell them to shut up its tough being a mum when your sooooo tired. I can't keep my eyes open the day for some reason, struggling to stay awake, I get sleep but not deep sleep must be the kinda day it is.

Thank you for replies :-)

I have 3 children now, two at school and one 6 month, I'm exhausted, the baby sleeps really well, but because I'm in so much pain I wake up and even end up waking him :(

I'm breastfeeding and was advised against any medication, but it's making me want to stop I can't take it anymore :( I've known I've had fibro for around 4/5 years but only diagnosed in 2014, along with an investigation for AS, also have Endo, but I think the main cause of all my pain is fibro, and now the bursitis in my hips is agony. My days feel so grey I feel I may be getting quite down :(

Hello. Do you think you would feel a bit better if you stopped breastfeeding. Just remember you have done really well to have done it for 6 months. Never feel quilty for stopping. Do you think you may have postnatal depression. Maybe you need to check with GP. You deserve a pat on the back, bringing up 3 children it is not easy when well, so your doing a marvellous job.

Sending you a big hug, your doing great, sending healing and peace. xx

The sunshine is behind the clouds, it will come back out for you soon.xx

I really feel for you, wish there was something that could be done for you.

I wonder if there is a really warm swimming pool in your area. I find warm water so soothing and now that you little one is six months you could take him in and have a lovely gentle float about. It would take some pressure off of your body and give you some freedom of movement. The gentle exercise may help you sleep too.

I had three children under three, I slept when they did, took them to the pool once or twice a week, bathed with them - their father went to work away when the youngest was three months - sometimes we were all in bed by 6pm :-P It worked for me with fibro and feeding them until they decided to give me up :-P

Do whatever works for you and be gentle with yourself :-)

I am so genuinely sorry to read this and I sincerely hope that you feel better soon. I was wondering if there was a more sympathetic GP at your surgery that you could talk to about how you are feeling? I want to genuinely wish you all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for you
