[Mjt11]

Hello.. I've just joined the group. My name is MANDY and I'm 49. I was diagnoised with fibromyalgia and oesteoartritis in November last year.. and these last few days all I've done is sleep I'm so tired and I have no energy.. any tips?

Yes I've tried light exercising.

I understand all that Fibro can be challenging (to say the least!) to learn how to deal with it's myriad of symptoms. I hope you'll find this community a online support network where you can get tips and advice from other members based on their experiences of Fibro.

Hi Mandy and welcome.

I just read your profile and it just describes me 😁.

I'm on Amitriptyline 50 mg for sleep, have you tried them?

Apart from that, nothing else seems to work for me, except maybe if I were to be hit over the head with a hammer. 😁

On a more serious note, I'm sure other members will be along to share their ideas with you.

Take care,

Mags 🌸

Aww thanks are these prescribed by the doctors ?

Sorry lol I misread your post.

I take Amitriptyline to HELP ME SLEEP.

You don't need meds to sleep, sorry.

I have bouts of insomnia, then I have bouts of fatigue when I could sleep for days.

It's all part & parcel of Fibro.

Maybe it's the meds you are taking that make you drowsy?

What medication are you taking if you don't mind me asking?
