Wow! I just experienced that same thing yesterday! I was doing light chores and thinking, I'm having a good day! Then WAM! it hit me like a ton of bricks! What the heck is going on? Right before my hubby came home from work, I was lifeless. Another issue we put up with in this "fibroworld". Hang in there and think positive!

I get the SAME thing!!!!!!!!!!! It's like my battery ran out.

I do that too. I had thought that it was just me!

I always talk about going into a coma when I nap. I just can't wake up and everyone is talking around me and watching tv as usual but I don't hear a thing. They usually last about 3 hours. I'm glad it's not just me that becomes comatose!

yahh i get it too- always weird, its like 911= feel like i have been drugged! worried iam havin a stroke or anyurisum!
doc says iam doin to much to start timimin myself(15min timimer) to take more breaks!
Yah WAM like i got hit by a train! or big maC TRUCK! OR HAAA A VAMPIRE STUCKED ALL MY BLOOD! zap!
HOPE YOU HAD A BETTER NIGHT!

Me too...I like how WhiteDolphin put it :)

Same here, infact its been so bad lately I had some blood test done, haven't gotten the results back yet, but will let you know if there is a connection. take care my friend.

It must be a common FM thing, Exactly what you described so many others have described too and i get that too, the ``if I don`t lay down I am gonna fall down`` feeling. I used to worry I was lazy but learned that now this is part of the wonderful world of FM. If I ignored it my body got so exhausted that I would trigger my epilepsy and have a clonic tonic seizure.
I am now on Lyrica...what a wonderful drug, I find I get that hit the wall feeling less often, when I close my eyes to sleep at night, I sleep well, I have more stamina and an added bonus it helps with controlling my seizures. As sometimes my seizure meds aren;t enough and my FM triggers my epilepsy.
If you aren`t taking Lyrica I recommend you try it, it helps you get a better night sleep and keeps you going during the day...place it elimates some of the pain and nerve vibrations too. Instead of taking three pills a day as my doc said I take three at night as my pharmacist recommends as it does make you dozy when you take it.

me too, nap of the dead, wake up fast which I always have but I have to claw up through layers of sleep to find myself.

I just went to a new Dr. He is a pain Dr. and neurologist. He said that people with fibromyalgia usually had two speeds, fast and off. He said they usually would overdo things and hurt and not do anything. I haven't found that to be true actually with me. I don't want to do anything because I am in pain. So I take it fairly slow all the time and much the time I don't do anything. I told him that I used to get relief from neurontin and then I told him that it had stopped working as well. So he tell me to increase my dose. I have been increasing my dose. When I start hurting really bad house and will start taking magnesium malate. It seems like between the two it helps me some. But I am like you I can all of a sudden have it just hit me. Sometimes it's like a passing out feeling. I like what white dolphins said, it's like your batteries just runs down!
love,pauli

i have that same issue...Frankly, I ignore it. I am not a napper....just can't do that. So I just do something else that requires less effort...sometimes it's read, sometimes it's throwing froz. food into the oven for supper, etc. But it is just instant that overwhelming feeling of exhaustion and no energy....ugh!
