Default Exhaustion

I have been exhausted lately no matter how much sleep I get. I am still able to work so during the week I try and get 8 hours a night. On weekends I can get 12 or more and still feel exhausted. I'm not sure if it is related to the stress of not knowing what is going on with my body or just being in pain all the time.

I have had idopathic polyneuropathy for a little over 2 years, which is getting worse. It took the docs 16 months to come up with that Dx, which essentially means they don't know what is causing the pain. I went up to Johns Hopkins Neurology in Jan. '10 and they ran all sorts of tests so I know a lot of things that aren't causing it. I was told in Jan that sometimes we just don't know what causes these things and reminded of that in June when the latest results came back. My neurologist referred me to the pain management group at JH, which I go to in a week. The meds she had me on are no longer working.

Is anyone else having exhaustion issues?
