Slept too much and in horrible pain:( - Fibromyalgia Message Board

Does anyone notice that if you sleep too much or lay down for too long it makes the pain even worse? I always try to make myself get up after 8 hours. If I sleep any longer, I feel more tired and it's harder to get out of bed. I really over did it last night. I'm been lazy and depressed for the last couple months and have been sleeping so much, which is causing me to flare more. I think I have to go take some pain meds now....ugh!

I slept til 1 pm today, I have had a bad week. All I wanted to do was sleep. I still feel like crap but not worse than I was.

Yes, I am stiff all over even after 7 hours sleep, I have a real hard time walking for a little while after getting up. My worse enemy is my recliner because it is so comfortable. I usually feel good while sitting in it but if I sit for too long (30 minutes is too long) or in a bad case, fall asleep in it then when I do get up I am so stiff that I can hardly move.
