I'm 24 with - 2.4 year old. I live with hubby who works. I am hoping to start an apprenticeship but now worried fibro is going to stop me. I wake up in the morning more tired and stiff than I did when I went to bed and can barely function. I'm in pain all day.
I used to go to the gym but had yo stop as I just ended up getting payback from it.
I started pole fitness on Thursday and still now I am hurting extra from it...serious payback.
The fatigue is unreal.
I've been put on Gabapentin (also on seroquel and lithium for bipolar) I really hope it kicks in soon... It's making me feel quite low. I'm withdrawn...I fall asleep a lot.

So there's a Bigfoot festival going on soon and Hubby is soooo enthused.I've spent so much of my life outdoors. I'm 99% sure their whoops and thumps and such are probably people up to no good tryihng to scare other folisk outta the woods without getting in trouble.Why do I say that?There's moonshiners in my DNA. And people who've lived in the forests since before white folks. If something was out...
I highly recommend that you purchase the book "Fibromyalgia for Dummies." It will give you and hubby a comprehensive overview of this complex illness and a lot of ways to try and manage it. The book is available on Amazon.
Take care.
Take care!
