I Can't Wake Myself Up And Am Sleeping All The Time. Is This Fibro And Does Anyone Else Feel Like This?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
New Hamburg, Ontario, Canada

My fibro pain has been excruciating for months, a lot of burning pins and needles. I have been very nauseous and dizzy. And I've gone from insomnia to sleeping all the time. I get tired all of a sudden, I lie down and am out for hours. In the morning, it's like I can't get my eyes open, I am so groggy.

Is It Ok To Use Marijuana Gummies With Antidepressants??

Usually, most doses for recreational use are 5 to 10mg of THC which is low; however, as THC can cause anxiety and paranoia in some people it would be best to check with your Doctor.
