What do you do/take for your Fibro Fatigue?

[Guest guest]

Hi! After many years of complaining about fatigue I was finally

diagnosed with Fibro earlier this year. The faituge is often

overwhelming. I just got a new doc and he seems great. He said he

would try his hardest to help with the faitigue. I was just wondering

what do you all do or take for your fatigue? I was on Gabapentin but it

doesn't seem to be doing much so the doc told me to stop taking it. He

is going to try and get Cymbalta (Lyrica too) approved for me, but I'm

nor going to hold my breath.

Hi Daneene, well, if your fatigue is of the type that prevents you from

working or walking or completing the daily tasks of living, more than the

Fibro pain, then it is quite possible that you have been “underdiagnosed”

and possibly have CFS or ME. If it is dragging your butt around work then

perhaps not so much chance of it and the fibro really is the thing.

Unfortunately this is very common. And the best thing you can do for it is

REST. In fact, if you have been misdiagnosed then it could save your life,

or at least a hope of recovery. I haven’t been hearing great reports about

Lyrica & Cymbalta for the most part, but some say it really does help them

overall. TC, Aylwin xox
