I have diagnosed myself with fibromyalgia , from researching my symptoms over the past 5 years . I tick all off the boxes of symptoms listed and have experienced them all at various degrees.
I tend to read that most sufferers complain of joint and muscle pain, although I experience that to a lesser degree and have some very tender joints ( no prodding massages for me) the symptoms that bother me most is early morning waking and fibro fog and memory loss.
I work at a very busy rehab, hospital as an Occupational Therapist an feel like something the cat dragged in, and struggle to get though each day, I think I would feel much better if I could get a good nights sleep, there is no way I can get to sleep after waking up at approx. 3.00am. I think fatigue effects my driving , which also is a concern for me, I am avoiding taking sleeping tablets and wondering if anyone out there has some possible solutions.
Thank You Paula
