For me fatigue comes from the meds and depression.

I definitely have suffered from fatigue and I think there are a couple of culprits that caused it for me. First was the pain. Constant, intense pain just drains you. The other is the lack of sleep many of us suffer from. Your body needs rest and we often don't get enough of it because of the pain and the disruptions in our sleep cycles. It's made a huge difference since I started getting 6 or more hours of consecutive sleep most nights. I do not fatigue as quickly and have a lot more energy. It's easy to under estimate how big of an impact this has on our lives.

I'll chime in with one other factor--diet. Since I started following the 4 F's plan I'm not sleeping my life away...

Thanks for all your responses. The reason I asked is because last night I slept all night and then took a five hour nap. I guess you can call it a nap. I get an overwhelming exhaustion feeling almost every day. Most nights I'm up all night in pain and don't sleep until that next night. It's a vicious cycle. Between the pain, fatigue and insomnia, I'm about to lose it. I tried Lyrics but the side affect I had was I couldn't walk straight. My balance was off and that scared me so I stopped taking it. Also, I stopped all meds for two days to see if they were causing the exhaustion and there was no change. Starting my meds again tomorrow. Going to see if my family doctor will give me B-12 shots again. It helps for a few days.
Hope everyone has a good night! |

I didn't start sleeping through the night until I started abilify. I tried sleeping with a bed cradle to keep sheets and blankets off my foot, it didn't help. So I found that I was napping and still nap through out the day. Some days are so bad, I sleep most days in the recliner.
