Extreme Exhaustion, Craving From Sweets, Difficulty In Sleeping, Fibromyalgia Post Cancer Treatment. How Can I Get Away With It?
Hi there, I am exhausted it s been 6months since my cancer was clear but I remember having these symptoms up to 5 years ago when we moved cities. I ve done diets , been told I m severely hampered by Fibromyalgia . I crave sweet things but hardly ever have them due to some of the very natural diets I have chosen to be on. This sleep need is REALLY hampering me - can you please help? Regards, Nolene

Dear patient,
Thanks for the query. It would not be unreasonable to see a Sleep Specialist, to see if indeed there is a primary sleeping disorder causing the fatigue (eg. primary insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea) or symptoms from fibromyalgia themselves which may benefit from medications and an exercise/relaxation schedule.
Yours truly,
