To cut a long story short I have had pain since I had my son last July it varys from back shoulders to hands feet ankles legs hips etc they have tested me for everything all they have found was low iron low b12 low vit d and folic levels so I was put on meds for that and also zapain for pain well nothing worked so went back to doctors about two months ago who gave me 10mg of ametriptilne not right spelling soz anyway that does nothing and nor do the pain killers they told me next step is oral morph which I don't want as I have a baby well 3 children altogether the other factor is that I'm always tired even after sleep ! Is this norm of fibro ? Got docs again in a week and I need help is to what I should be asking for as they don't seem to have a clue ?

    Hi, Sadie:  I have had Fibro for many years, but was diagnosed three years ago.  I have other health issues, also with fibro, but I have to say...I think fibro is probably the most confusing one to figure out...I will have about two to three glorious days without pain, and then after a good night's sleep, I will wake up huring more than I can say...after that the fatigue sets in, and I have so much to do, and can't even think about doing something that takes physical or mental strain...I hope you feel better and know that you are not alone...I am 67 yrs. old, and I've suffered for many years...hang in there, sweetie...
