Have you ever been so fatigue that you have to concentrate on breathing?

No, when my fatigue hits it is like someone has drugged me...everything slows way down and I have to focus on keeping my eyes Open...when I get the Rib Pain that is the Only time I have breathing issues...I apply heat to the rib area that hurts and it usually backs the pain off Enough so I can breath easy...if you are haveing any breathing issues AT ALL I would go in and have that checked....I have heard it is a common thing with FM...but I would check it out anyway just to be safe...Take care my friend...and God Bless, Bonnie

I do have trouble breathing with the fatigue. I have asthma, so sometimes I get the two confused, but when my inhaler doesn't work, I know for sure what it is. The best thing for me is to try and rest, get good sleep, apply heat, and minimize stress. Good luck.

I don't know if you have this problem or not but I find I hold my breath. This worsens the pain also so have to be aware if I am breathing probably marilyn

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
