How do we with fibro deal with the extrem fatigue.

I have found that the easiest for me is to not argue with your body and sleep. being that tired means your body is trying to tell you something. Even 5 minutes here and 10 minutes there helps alot!

PROVIGIL is a medication to treat excessive sleepiness caused by certain sleep disorders. These sleep disorders are narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), and shift work sleep disorder (SWSD).

There are some days that I can take my dose and within an hour still be passed out cold....Other day's I can take 1/2 dose and be so shakey that I would rather be passed out. Regardless, it does allow me to be able to get to and from work...some days I do have to take naps at work. Actually, I have dr orders to take at least 15 - 30 minute naps every 2 or so hours. 99% of the time, I just keep going because if I stop to take a nap, I might be out for a couple of hours.

I have stumpted so many DRs but they refuse to tell me it is in my head...so either they honestly believe that it is a true mystery or they are trying to cover their tales....

My favorite was when a former Neurologist told me "It's not going to kill you and it won't put you in a wheel chair in the immediate future"...what kinda crap is that....If you don't know what is wrong, how do you know the prognosis...If you don't know the prognosis how can you insinuate that it is going to eventually put me in a wheelchair???

Another favorite....Medicine is more of an art than a science!!!!!!

Just try to keep your head up and keep on pushing through each day...some day there may be a cure...
