As Michele said, it sounds like it's time to get a new doctor. This isn't only frustrating for you, it's dangerous to be falling asleep while driving! Your doctor should realize this. Has he talked to you about narcolepsy or is this degree of fatigue common for fibromites?

Quote:

And then while I am at work I nodd off at my desk or just sit there in a daze b/c I am so exhausted I want to cry. I fall asleep on the way home from work and then just drop onto the couch exhausted when I get there. But the weird thing is at about 8pm I get a spurt of energy and can actually get laundry and some things done.




I haven't been diagnosed with fibro (yet), but I experience this same pattern (except falling asleep on the way home). I do fall asleep at work - especially on my breaks or during lunch, whenever I get to sit down. If I can't nap at work, I feel like I'm in a dream/daze, doing everything in slow-mo, blurry vision. I get my energy later in the evening as well. So frustrating!

I hope your doctor either starts really listening and helping you, or you find a new one who will.
