I have fibro and I never have any energy and have slept in my entire life. DO you also have insomnia at night. My problem is my pain is so bad at night that I can't sleep. I have to sleep in until lunch time. The pain in so horrible everyday it seems to flare up more. What seems to help you?

[Mustangmo in reply to 2mitzyarnold]

I was like you with pain at night and I found out when pain in the night or day got bad a muscle relaxer helped. A doctor once told me when you have pain you automatically tighten your muscles and if you take a relaxer you cut half the pain, I use Lakota both muscle relaxers and the,rubs.

I have CFS and can sleep 2-3 days and also up all night and feel better at night.

[Mustangmo in reply to jfk71]

I am so sorry for you have you tried to walk with a quad Cain or 2 of them, I find 2 really help sometimes.

Take care, hugs and peace profound

Hi Fibro fighter and welcome to the forum where I hope you get loads of support. They reckon you've had fibro since the age of 11...that's very young...and have only just diagnosed you now at 74 if I read right....well I hope you catch up and read what you can. I was surprised how many symptoms there is to fibro...nice to make your acquaintance . xx

I was told by the doctor who wrote the book Dibro Fox that after talking to me he said I must have had it years. He also said a lot of people have, when we are growing up and our legs and body hurt it is called growing pains, then in our early teens when we hurt et , it is called puberty , then a little older in our 40 s it is called arthritis, and start of osteoarthritis etc.

Sorry I am jerking and making mistakes

Take care and

Peace profound and hugs

Hello there 😊I just joined last week and this sight is supportive and informative 😊 I take amatryptalin at 7 pm and magnesium malate before I go to sleep .. this works for me 👌

On waking co codimol and heat packs on the most painful areas and a motivational meditation off the YouTube 😊

Have you looked at Guaifenesin protocol for alternative treatment?? it works for me 😊But very expensive to import from America to the uk😖 Grr

But you can get off your local Walmart shelves haha

Worth a try you poor luv .. Jeese!! All your life suffering 😓

I got mine bout 45 ish .. so feel lucky ..

gentle hugs to you X
