Hi Everyone, I've just joined the group as I thought I would take it upon myself to do my own research. I'm Sarah, I am a 45 year old mum from England. My main issue is fatigue. I wanted to know how you dealt with it there's anything I can do to prevent it or cope with it please? Many Thanks x
 
Hi Sarah.
Have you been diagnosed with fibromyalgia? If not, that exploration is your first step, and I advise you to make sure it is a thorough exploration, meaning you get tested for all of the things that could cause your symptoms. There are many, and you need to find out to the best of your, and your doctor's, ability what exactly is going on with you. (If you don't already know).

As for fatigue, and its prevention or management, this is a bit different for everyone. I see you have already read my big post of advice for newcomers. The best thing you can do for yourself is to start that personal journey of experimenting with your self to find out what kinds of things work for you in terms of diet and exercise and so on, all that I wrote in that post.

Of course, sleep is very important, so whatever you can do to get enough of that in terms of timing, your bed, your pillows, even your sheets, is good to try. I make sure my bed is as fully comfortable as possible. I spend the money for good quality sheets and pillows, for a memory foam mattress cover, and I live where it is very dark and quiet at night. That works for me; other things may work for you.

Diet and exercise can also help tremendously with your fatigue levels. But unfortunately, although lots of people can tell you what they are doing that works............and that's valuable information to get..........only you can find out what works for you, because there's no one thing that works for everyone with fibro. What we can do though, is be supportive of your process, so stick around.
 
Sunkacola, could I ask what brand memory foam mattress topper you like?

I got it on Amazon, and don't remember the brand name. I just bought the one that had the best reviews. Usually, that is a reliable way to choose something like that. Hope that helps.
 
Thanks for that quick response! Amazon has so many to choose from and there's a wide range of prices. I'm just not sure if it should be the original brand TempurPedic or a way cheaper memory foam/bamboo thing that does have five great reviews but never heard of the company. Maybe something in the middle price range?

I searched and found the one I have. I've had it for about a year and still like it a lot. It got good reviews and didn't cost a lot.

Search Amazon for "LINENSPA Memory Foam Mattress Topper"
