As a very active person, when I have my flare ups i'm at a loss. Although i'm extremely tired, I can't sleep (lucky if I get 7-8 hours a night). You just know if you try and do something, your going to be absolutely buggerd.

Can't read as the memory means I forget what I hsve just read (and i'm dyslexic which in turn means I have to concentrate even harder)

TV ix awful.

So what do you good long suffering folk do?

    I completely understand how you feel, Megga. I'm tired almost all of the time, but when the fatigue is at its very worst, I often have trouble sleeping but am too tired to do anything. My doctor has prescribed me something to help promote REM sleep. It really does help. KPD

    I use to fight it but have learnt this is a pointless exercise. 

    Try day dreaming. 

    I often just sit with my ipad and google pointless things but I am not really concentrating but it passes the time.
