New Here - Frustrated by Fatigue

[linasmom]

Hi Pat,

I do hope you stay. I had a really nasty childhood, too. I've just recently started experiencing joint pain which my doctor is monitoring. I have some elevated liver enzymes which are being looked into, as well.

It sounds like you are really making an effort, physically, to "push" through it. Those results don't seem to be working, right now. What does your doctor say? What about an anti-inflammatory? Ibuprofen? I'm taking 600mg Ibuprofen 3 times a day right now for the pain and it has been working fairly well.

Have you tried a combination of an anti-inflammatory AND walking?

Best,
Rachel

I too have P.T.S.D. and Fibromyalgia along with back ,feet and knee problems. It is hard when you are depressed to think of exercising. That is the least on my mind. I am so tired I barely get my daily chores done or get dressed before my husband comes home. I have had insomnia for many years but now I am wanting to sleep all day and night. I have had some depressive events happen this past month. I try playing happy music or walk the dog when weather permits. I want to get well but to many things get in my way. Glad to have you in the forum.
