    Pain is exhausting isn't it? I think Fibro can make you tired too if I'm right @Tracie

    When I am flaring and exhausted I tend to make a point of resting properly and set an alarm to make sure I don't end up oversleeping or something like that.

    I also do a daily walk outside for some reason that seems to perk me up rather than make me more tired.

    Sometimes though there really isn't much else for it other than to ride it out and rest. I hope things ease for you soon ((())) xxx

    Hey

    Thank you for your comment frogmorton.

    I think your right try n completely rest. I'm trying to get into a routine after working pt come home rest then gentle stretching exercises hope to walk more but absolutely shattered.

    Fibro n pain together is exhausting.

    Good day n bad days.

    Regards tracie
