I sleep an average of 12 hours and I wake up groggy, but I’m rarely able to go to sleep at a decent time. Then, while I’m awake I’ll sometime get incredible urges to clean, or cook. I have fibromyalgia, which results in the worst pain on some days and poor circulation that causes horrible pain in my hands and feet every morning until about 2 hrs. after I start moving. I take Ultram daily and Lortab when I feel the pain is going to be bad, and nothing else. I’m always tired, but I’m in too much pain or too busy to sleep (escaping pain). I used to be on strong narcotics all the time but I couldn’t function, but I’m still not where I want to be. Sleep meds might help, but I already get treated like a junkie for trying to get pain relief and I think this will really convince my doctors to cut me loose. Or maybe I’m losing it, which might be possible because some days I’m in pain to the point of suicide. I just want to sleep!

1Have you ever just laid down and tried to go to sleep? OR are you always up and moving around and don’t want to lay down. Maybe you need muscle relaxers? anti anxiety meds? Youre not going crazy just need to be pain free and sleep really bad. I wish the best for you.

3If you don’t have gout, a problem with uric acid levels, diabetes and aren’t pregnant you should try DRibose.
DRibose is used by the body as a way to use the energy that is supposed to happen on the cellular level . People who have fibromaylgia tend to have chemical imbalances in their bodies, poor nutrient processes that prevent our bodies from working properly to covert the nutrients we eat into substances our bodies are supposed to make to complete the chemical connections to power our cells and our bodies. Its complicated but about 69 % of the people with fibromyalgia/cfs who try it find help from DRibose.
I have several articles, studies on my 360 page that you should read and maybe make the choice to give it a six week trial to see if it helps you also. I have fibro and have found several things including DRibose that help me to have lower pain levels, better sleep and a better quality of life.
