What Is The Treatment For Fatigue And Body Pain?

I have been increasingly fatiqued and constant pain throughout my body, Shooting pain and constant stabbing pain mostly in my shoulders and wrists and upper back, knees. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia years ago but only had a few flare ups a year. It now seems to be constant (if it is fibro) My tiredness is overwhelming. I wake up after 8 hours of sleep and still need to lay down in a couple of hours to sleep. I have to take at least 4 aspirin every 6 hours or so to cope with it. And even then I can feel the pain a little. (in my hands, wrists it is the worse around my thumbs) I can t get into a doctor for another 2 weeks but wanted to know if this sounds like something that needs attention sooner? Thank you very much

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If I were your doctor, my first choice of medications for you will be antidepressants followed symptomatic treatment for pain. Antidepressants works really well for fibromyalgia. Therefore, next time you please discuss with your doctor and get a prescription for antidepressants.

I hope I have answered your question. If you have further queries, I'm happy to help.
