"But we all get tired..."
It's something many people living with Fibromyalgia hear all too often.

π΄ Being tired usually improves after a good night's sleep.

It can leave you feeling physically drained, mentally exhausted and emotionally depleted, even after resting.
It's not laziness.
It's not a lack of motivation.
It's a recognised symptom experienced by many people living with Fibromyalgia and CFS/ME.
Understanding that difference is an important step towards understanding the condition itself.
