Does anyone have all the symptoms of fibromyalgia but not have the bad fatigue? I have not been diagnosed but have so many of the symptoms but not as much fatigue as most people. I am worried because I have been taking ibuprofe and Tylenol off and on almost everyday and I know they take a toll on your liver. Going to the dr. Next week and hope to get some answers.
I have pretty severe fatigue most days but occasionally I feel great in the energy dept but all my other issues are present. Be thankful you only need OTC meds. I have fentynal and percocet plus ultram and OTC meds almost every day.
Bleh...my liver must hate me and I dont even drink but one beer a month when I go to the Ram.
Fibro seems to have a broad variant for people. There are a lot of us with severe and crippling symptoms but others that can maintain work still. I worked for the first 4 years I had symptoms until I literally hit the WALL. Fatigue took over and I was finally diagnosed CFS and CPS, they are still not sure I have actual fibro but the severe pain has to be listed as something so I have possible fibro but definately a Chronic Pain Syndrome happening.
Jeaniebeans, since I started using a CPAP machine, my fatigue is much improved. I am awake all afternoon - in pain. Wish I could go back to sleeping through the afternoon as it made the pain more manageable.
Whether the lessened fatigue is normal of fibro or not, I do not know.
