Hi, I have fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, migraines and some endocrine diseases. I am 32 and I just finished graduate school. I should be launching my career, but because of my health issues, I am doing nothing. I DESPERATELY want to be working. The biggest problem I have is fatigue.
The thing is, as most of you surely know, fatigue can mean anything from a little slump to being unable to sit up. Because of the word's vagueness, I want to ask if my level of fatigue sounds consistent with fibro. I am always exhausted. It's always a fight to stay up. But every month or two I have a couple weeks where I sleep 16-20 hours per day. I'm hardly awake at all and the excessive sleep makes me very upset. I get so frustrated but nothing helps. Not even prescribed stimulants.
Is that a kind of fatigue other people get with fibro? If it is, then maybe fibro treatments will help. But if it's different or worse than the fatigue associated with fibro, then I need to figure out what's causing it so I can fix it. Again, I unfortunately do have fibromyalgia, along with pain galore, but I'm uncertain whether that's the reason I sleep 5/6 of the day when in a flare. Thanks.
