Horrible leg pain with fibromyalgia

I hear ya on the fibro pain, I can't make it through the night without pain and burning in my legs and neck. I wake up around 3:30 am all in a painful bunch, totally exhausted in the morning to the point where I get up, have breakfast and have to go back to bed, in the evening I feel somewhat normal. Soak in Epsom salts, take Xanax and mirtazapine and melatonin to get some sleep. Anxiety is through the roof with a brain tumor that they want to do radiation on. It has caused vertigo so I can't do much walking. Anything can flare a fibro/CFS attack. No matter what you do it is always there and I am highly sensitive to meds so other then the Xanax I can't take anything. I've spent over 30 years suffering with this and nothing helps. Hang in there, I would like to say better days ahead. I do know people who recovered completely or they didn't have it in the first place.

Thanks for your reply. I sometimes don't know if I can make it through the day. I have a high tolerance for pain; however, this pain in my legs has almost done me in. The bad part is that you look fine and feel terrible. I get no sympathy. I would just like some understanding that many times I just don't have the energy or will power to do anything. It makes you cranky and out of sorts. I also have trouble sleeping. I have sleep apnea so don't like wearing a mask all night long. I rarely have any nights when I don't wake up multiple times. To top it off I have hot flashes, even though I am 74. Ugh!
