I agree you're def experiencing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, closely affiliated with fibromyalgia and definitely linked. You're not getting restorative sleep at night and it's messing up your waking hours big time!! I really hope the B12 shot kicks in soon and you feel better. The Energy Extract Melissa and I are on has been working for me during the day. Here's the link Mel posted recently: http://www.nutrimedical.com/products.jhtml?method=view&product.id=1897
I totally feel the same way, especially in the wee early morning hours and at about 4pm. I've taken ambien at night, but they were addictive for me. I was prescribed the 10 mg pills, but I was taking 2 at night, and then 1 during the day to stop my back from hurting (they also kill pain). I went through 30 pills very quickly, and I don't think I'm going to renew the Rx any time soon. They're also expensive-- $112 for 30 pills with no prescription plan. Yikes!
Have you tried taking 1/2 a benedryl before you go to sleep, if a full pill makes you tired in the AM? If you kick in your sleep (ask your DH! ), maybe you could consider taking baclofen to stop? It works for me with no morning effects-- I take 10mg before sleeping and I don't kick, jerk or gnash like I used to. Just some suggestions for your new doc...
