Horrible dreams

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have horrible dreams from all of the medications? I

have been having really bad dreams and I think it is from the

tramadol. Any thoughts? I have such a hard time with the pain

meds... making me itch or night sweats..... I am always tired...I

never seem to get a good night sleep anymore. I was dianoised last

year with RA and Osteoarthitis. I have been battling joint pain and

fatigue for years. I have had surgery on both elbows (ulnar

nerves), both wrists, both shoulders, and now the right knee

(twice... last year and again this year) I feel like a walking

surgery!! The best thing is that I still have the aches and pain.

My doctor from 1995 to 2005 kept telling me that I was stressed and

this why I have pain. Put me on antidepressants. I have had a

positive ana since 1995. We moved to a new state in 2005 and before

I went to the doctor, I wrote down every test and surgery that I

had. The new Doctor was wonderful!!!! She ran all kinds of tests

and sent me to a Rheumatoid Doc. I have been on meds for just over

a year and feel like a weight has been lifted!!! I want to write my

old doc and tell him, but I just can't do that yet... I still get to

emotional when I start the letter. I could not believe that a

doctor would really listen to me and not tell me it was all in my

head..(because I was a single mom raising 3 boys) But my Doc in Ohio

was truly a blessing!!!! She also suffers from RA, so she could

really relate to me.

Sorry, I guess I just needed to vent!!!!!

Take care everyone,
