“Are there natural ways to fight off fatigue?”
I have fibromyalgia, and I often find myself so fatigued. I can't do anything around the house because I'm so tired. Are there natural ways to fight off this fatigue? What do you recommend?

Really important to seek a functional medicine evaluation to determine the root cause as well as the appropriate protocol to support structural/musculoskeletal integrity.
Fatigue is a very common symptom that can have a multitude of etiologies besides fibromyalgia. To cover all of your basis I would first ask your clinician do perform some type of cardiac work-up, basic labs and include a TSH level (thyroid). Additionally, I would think about a hair analysis to rule out heavy metals. Consider a diet that would include fatty fish, organic chicken and turkey, and with a large amount of vegetables and low sugar fruits. Investigate Turmeric, Vitamin C, Co-Enzyme Q10, and Vitamin D3. Exercise, yoga, and low-impact weights could be helpful as well.
