I have been there and know how you feel, but don't give up! It sounds to me like you could benefit from some therapy and maybe some antidepressants. There's nothing wrong with seeking out professional help when you really need it, which I can tell from your post you really do. No, no, no...

Ali, I am right there with you with the nap thing. I don't find naps to be terribly refreshing at all. In fact, when I wake up from a nap, it takes me quite a while to wake up and get my head on straight again. I try to get to bed early or sleep late, rather than have to nap during the day...

Thanks so much for all your input. I feel so much better knowing I'm not alone in this. It feels yucky laying around in an exhausted pile, staring at the dust settling on the stereo and the colonies of dust bunnies gathering in the corners. I try to get up and do just a little here and there...

How the heck do y'all get your housework done? Every day is such a struggle just getting the basic stuff done. I know I can get the laundry and dishes done if I got at it a little at a time, but that's about it. Sweeping and mopping especially kill me! I've been looking at various...

Really? Wow, maybe I need to look into this. I could really use some relief from the constant pain. As if it weren't bad enough fighting off fatigue and pain everywhere else. Ugh! Thanks so much for the tip.

I agree stress definitely makes things worse. I've been playing the piano for a musical, and for the last week we've been having rehearsals every night. This on top of my other jobs has kept me spread pretty thinly. I am so run down and feel hideous. I swear I could go to sleep right now and...

Thanks for the input. It seems reasonable to me that the tennis elbow is not related to the fibro, but the pain could be made worse by it. I'm playing the piano for a musical tonight, and I'm just praying I get through it okay. I am so tired and achy.

I have had a bad case of tennis elbow in both elbows now for close to a year. I've learned to cope with it just like the rest of my daily pain and fatigue. I take Naprocyn and use stabilizing supporters on both elbows, which helps quite a bit for a while. I am an artist and musician, so I...

I don't know about it just suddenly going away, but I definitely seem to have good days and bad days. Well, more like a whole cluster of good days and then a cluster of bad days after that. When I'm having those good days, I make sure to make the most of them! They are a gift! :D

I've suddenly had some trouble with my vision lately too. I'd be interested to see what other people have to say about this. I've been advised to see an ophthalmologist about it, so I'm making an appointment today. I've always been nearsighted, but lately it seems I have a lot more difficulty...
