Fatigue Friday: Weekly Posts from Fighting Fatigue
- I posted a couple of weeks ago here and here about my terrible bout with insomnia. After those two nights without sleeping, I did finally sleep the next night all night. But then the night after that (which would have been Thursday night), I only slept about three hours. We were leaving that Friday to take our son away for the weekend to Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, PA. I really, really wanted to have enough sleep because I wanted to be in good shape for him for the weekend.
Another Update On My Sleep Issues
- It has been debated for years by doctors whether or not ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia are one & the same, closely related or completely different illnesses. What has fueled the debate even further is that approximately 70% who are diagnosed with one of the illnesses also have been diagnosed with the other.
ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia - Are They the Same, Related, or Different?
- Ethex Corporation notified healthcare professionals of a voluntary recall of a single lot of morphine sulfate 60 mg extended release tablets (Lot No. 91762) due to a report of a tablet with twice the appropriate thickness. Oversized tablets may contain as much as two times the labeled level of active morphine sulfate. The lot was distributed by Ethex Corporation under an ‘Ethex” label between April 16th and April 27th of 2008.

- One of my own personal biggest issues with Fibromyalgia has been the weight gain and my body’s resistance to lose it. When I am having a severe flare of ME/CFS where I am bedridden for weeks or months, I will usually lose about 20 - 25 pounds. But once the flare is over and I start to recover the weight comes back on and then some.
Weight Gain & Fibromyalgia, ME/CFS
- The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is now recruiting male and female patients ages 18 to 75 with chronic and/or recurrent major depression, for a trial titled Combining Medications to Enhance Depression Outcomes (CO-MED). (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00590863)

- This is a great video I found on Lyme Disease. It is very informative and definitely portrays the seriousness of the illness.
- Getting diagnosed is like buying a lottery ticket hoping to pay off your mortgage when on welfare. You need to do it, but it’s not a matter of skill, but of pure luck. And when you have bad luck, like I do, then you know what I mean.
