Okay. so I can manage my pain, but lately I've been so apathetic towards life, love, school, everything...I feel like I never get enough sleep though I know I do. I've had a B12 shot, and I'm taking my vitamins and I'm on cymbalta. Somebody help me!

What do you guys do for energy?

HUGS from down south :) "

" I must say that CoQ10 has increased my energy level, not as much as I'd like, but more than if I didn't take it at all. And after all, with Fibro, a little improvement is way better than none! "
