Often exhausted

I have the same problem. Some days it is worse than others. I think the medication makes me sleepy, but it could also be from depression. They put me on Cymbalta as well as the Gabapentin. I think the Gabapentin makes me tired. The Cymbalta helps a lot more with the foot burning pain. My Rheumatologist put me on this. I am retired so I can sleep in and I live alone. I can be totally irresponsible except my cat yells at me when she wants attention. Hope things get better for all.

I’m not an apologist for big pharma by any means, but if you all were in good health why were you taking coprocessor? I mean, couldn’t whatever underlying illness that requires the cipro have been the root cause?

I suffer terribly with fatigue, some of it is due to broken sleep but even when I sleep well I spend half my days really fatigued. It's weird because some days I can run or cycle but other days I struggle to hold my arms up just to brush and dry my hair. Thankfully I'm going through a good patch at the minute but I know from about 8 yrs experience that it won't last... I just have to make the most of things when I can and pace when things are more difficult.!

I better add that I also have MS so it could be the auto immune causing the fatigue and not the EM.!
