 Hello my name is Victoria. Has anyone read this book and what is your input? How does one with fibromyalgia tolerate the fatigue.

 I haven't read the book, but I know I am not dealing well with the fatigue.The Dr.s said if I take an anti-depressant that would help but it hasn't. I wish I had some thing that would be of use to you, however I just wanted you to know that there is someone else out there dealing with the same thing.

 something that is supposed to help fatigue is called provigil....it's a prescription, usually used for narcoleptics, but has been a success with some fibro pts as well, something to look up and talk to your doc about....
Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.
