A very real problem for people with fibromyalgia is very often as you well know chronic fatigue. Experts aren’t sure if sleep disorders cause or are caused by fibromyalgia, but the fact remains that people with issues like sleep apnea are at a higher risk for this painful disease. Most doctors don’t like to prescribe sleep aids unless they have to due to a risk of addiction. Once the patient stops taking the medication, they often have an even harder time getting good rest, so they really aren’t very helpful anyway. Getting exercise and making your environment conducive to rest are good strategies.
