Hi all just a quick ? I have fibro and most of the usual things that go with it BUT i sleep very well and im not stiff on a morning my body seems to gradually seize up during the day no matter if i had a busy day or a lazy day.Tthe only relief is a red hot bath which i wouldnt swap for a gold pig lol. Is anyone else like this because i read a lot that fibro sufferers are most stiff in a morning just making me wonder if im normal as a fibro sufferer :-) HOPE YOUR ALL FEELING AS WELL AS POSSIBLE

Hi, can't speak for anyone else but when I wake I'm so stiff it's unreal, I have to just stay sitting up in my bed or the couch for at least 40 mins or so then finally I try to get up , I walk with a stick so I use that to drag myself out of bed. Then I take my meds then I have a cup of tea then I have a shower and only then am I awake and functioning to a small degree , I never wake up with the feeling that I have had a really good nights sleep , I long to wake up rested .

Hello well I Quess we are all differient, but for me I never sleep

Well some times not at all, I am always stiff when I get up or sit

For to long during the day.

I must admit that I am stiff first thing in the morning but I also get progressively stiff again through the day, especially if I have been sat at my desk for sometime. Or as yesterday when I did toomuch cleaning. I really don't think there are any hard and fast rules for FM

Im different again. I "sleep well" but wake up as stiff as a board. I eventually loosen up a bit, but I always wake up feeling as if I havent slept at all. By about 10-11oclock, I cant stay awake. If I have a busy day, I "pay for it" the next day with my double whammy of Fibro and Arthritis. OUCHY. We Fibromites have a lot to contend with. Gentle hugs.xx
