Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I think I have a mild version of Chronic Fatigue, Tigger. There are some weekends that I sleep the entire weekend away. And some days where I can not make it through the day without spending my lunch hour napping in my car and then taking a short nap just to get through the drive home. N.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I've often wondered if I have both. I don't think I've ever slept for a whole day, though. For me, it's just the constant, chronic fatigue that never totally goes away. Jeanne in WI Do many of you suffer from fibro and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I few weeks ago I slept for 2 days. Yesterday I slept all day. These a why I lost my job. plus I had a doctor then who would give me meds. and boss didn't like that.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I agree with you - I have days where all I need to do is sleep and I always, always sleep a lot on weekends. And I don't stay up late at night cuz I have to be to work by 6:30. If I DON'T get my sleep - that is when I know a flare is coming. I seem to have insomnia right before and then I have to sleep for a long time. hugs in Phx Mystic mystic_102164@...> wrote: I think I have a mild version of Chronic Fatigue, Tigger.

N. ------------------------------------ 1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general. 2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better. 3. To unsubscribe the e-mail is: Fibromyalgia_Support_Group-unsubscribe 4. Also, it is not uncommon for more than one member to be feeling bad at the same time when it comes to flares and b/c of that potentially take something another member says the wrong way. And that includes the things that one member may find funny (even if it's laughing at fibro itself) even though we who deal with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a sense of humor. 5. Pls let's be gentle with each other, and if you are having a bad day pls let us know so that we can do our best to offer our support. Have a nice day everyone.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Tigger, I do have both fibro and CF. Between the severe pain and unrelenting fatigue, I struggle to function. I have to go back to work, so right now I'm desperate to find new things to help me. I'm also concerned about who is going to hire someone who takes oxycodone and morphine. How did your employer find out about your meds? Was it a random drug test? Where did you work? Is the fatigue new to you? Isn't it brutal to deal with on top of the pain and all the other fun things that go along with fibro? Jill Fibro & CFS Do many of you suffer from fibro and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hi Tig, I might have a touch of CFS since I am always sleepy. My husband won't let me sleep in, even on weekends. But when he is at work I nap sometimes. Debbie L > > Do many of you suffer from fibro and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I few weeks > ago I slept for 2 days. Yesterday I slept all day.
