Hello all,

I have not been diagnosed but the doctor did mention this as a possibility. All

I know is I am sick of tired of being sick and tired all the time! Right now

even writing this e-mail seems almost too much. I have for the last two months

and at other times in my life, felt like I have the flu even though I do not

have the flu!

A little background on me. I have had severe Endometriosis for years and on

11/26/2007 had a complete hysterectomy with bowel resection due to the endo

having blocked off 95% of my bowel (you want to talk about pain, that was the

worst!!!!! not the surgery the blockage) As far as the Endo and surgery goes I

feel great now but since then I have had the muscle aches, and the almost

constant lack of energy/being tired.

I am not sure if this makes sense so please give me opinions. I do not sleep

well, a typical night is go to bed around 10 or 11 pm, ( I have 8 adopted kids

so it is busy here) lay there trying to sleep till about 2-3 am then I finally

fall asleep. I then proceed to wake at least 3-5 times and wake up for the day

around 8-9 am. I feel like if I could just sleep well then I would feel better

but the pain is keeping me from sleeping well! Also my brain does not seem to

shut off! I can lay there (asleep) worrying about the dumbest things! for

example, We had a bunch of snow here lately and even though my oldest knows how

to check to see if her school is closed I was constantly waking to check the

website even though I knew they would not announce it till 5 am but still I was

up many times before that checking.

There are even times when I will make a dinner and then sit down with my family

and only be able to take a bite or two because I am too tired. I don't like

driving anywhere any more because it takes so much out of me and my arms hurt

too badly as well as my neck. They feel like I want a massage but if you touch

them it hurts worse!

I truly do not care if they say Fibro or what ever I just need an answer! The

problem I run into is doctors who do not want to say anything definite!

Thanks for listening
