Hi all,
I have had fibro for 2 1/2 years now and I have always awakened unrefreshed from 7-10 hrs of sleep. However it never really affected my life per se. Ya I was tired but it was the least of my problems, it just really wasn't that bad I guess.
However, in the last month my exhaustion has kicked up 10x and now it is my worst symptom. I had a really good 'normal' day 2 days ago, it was awesome, I felt like the old me. I took advantage of it (too much) and I now I am paying for it (to be expected). But even before that I have been insanely tired. Like all my muscles get stiff and sore and they feel like they weigh 100 lbs each. Is this what everyone else experiences when they say they are really exhausted? Once I wake up for the day I can't go back to sleep even though it is all my body seems to want.
This exhaustion also comes along with nausea. Is that normal? Like I think it is anxiety kind of because if I distract myself enough it eases. Also I will be nauseous but starving at the same time if I haven't eaten, like this morning.
Also when I feel like this, that is when my heart acts up. Palpitations, fast heartbeat, etc. I guess because I am so tired, because on my good day, my heart didn't bother me at all, no matter how much walking I seemed to do.
I just don't get it. Does anybody else?
Any advice or comment is greatly appreciated!
