Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hi everyone, My name is Aimee and I was diagnosed with Severe Chronic Fibromyalgia and Severe RLS last Friday. I have spent years with aches and pains throughout along with migraines and headaches. I have just started a medication plan and am a bit nervous of how sleepy the medications make me. Most days I am exhausted and can only function for a few hours - about 5 or 6 on a good day. Then I'm crashed on the couch. Hoping to learn from this group how to cope with this disease and maybe find a way to return to the work force. Thanks for listening...or rather... Reading.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hi Aimee and welcome. I know what you mean about having only so many good hours during the day. My meds make me sleepy, but I can get through, thankfully.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Welcome Aimee - nice to have you with us. Hopefully, the sleepy side effects will go away after you get used to the meds.
