Hi Julia,
life is really hard having fibro, I too am always tired and struggle to do the things I need to do during the day. I ache all over and try very hard not to moan too much to the ones I love, it must be difficult for them too.
The only thing I can suggest is that we learn to appreciate the small things, things that we can still do, and not to focus too much on the things we can't do.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

Yes you have to learn your limitations. I do small jobs in my house everyday I work out 4 to 5 days a week and walk in evening. If I don't stay moving I get stiff and the pain is much worse. My doctor put me on Cymbalta but so far it has not helped. I bought some CBD hemp oil i have been taking a dose twice a day. So far no change. I just keep lookin for solutions and trying to stay positive. Carla

Hi Julia I know that for me I have to do many things sitting down to help conserve energy. You sound like you might have the chronic fatigue syndrome that can go with many illnesses. My neurologist told me this is what I also have . So to learn to do thong slow and don't push yourself cause it make things worse. Pace your self and decide things up throughout the day so you can do a bit more . Plus rest when you have to. Don't worry about the little things that you can't get done.

Hi Denise
i really relate to what you said, I'm sure lots of fibro sufferers do. I often say to myself...help is not coming! Even if you accept your body the way it is you still have a battle in your mind. It just goes on and on and on and there seems to be no way out of it.
