How to Get Energy When You're Exhausted and in Pain?

Best advice: get a sleep study to see if you have a sleep disorder such as hypersomnia. That explained why I was so drained.

We all make allowances as we get older and have challenges to work around, those that we love and that love us all make these amazing allowances because of love.

I have to plan a day around the pain. I was off work as well and I took 3 different sicknesses one after the other so I completely get how you haven't rested any. If I do the dishes I need to sit down afterwards, or hoovering or cooking a meal. You could try eating cherries they have a natural pain relief property and try tumeric capsules which help pains. My liver is inflamed from prolonged use of painkillers so if you haven't had a recent blood test it might be worthwhile organising one. Exercise will also give you energy although due to the levels of pain I recommend starting off with something really simple like leg lifts in a chair or bed.

If you are recommended anything please let me know! I am exactly the same needing to rest after doing anything and it’s getting worse. I have took a week off work and ended up resting/sleeping the whole time off 😥. I do recommend using aids eg chair, walking aid, bath bars as the do help a bit. Hope you find something that helps you lovely xx

I wish I knew and could help. My hubby has had to take over a lot of things as I just physically can't do them. Feel guilty at times as he works damn hard too but I haven't found anything that helps 😞

I've had to modify a lot of things such as cooking ill sit in a chair at the stove when doing so or make microwave meals. My fibro has gotten worse and I just have to find little changes that work to help make things easier
