Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Since the fatigue has been so bad, the last 1-2 yrs., I have to take a nap when I get home from work, on weekends, anytime that I can rest. It's just a must; I can't rethink my body out of the fatigue. I know it's my body wearing down after fighting all day to be healthy with poison in my body. Then at night, like now, 4:54 a.m., I can't sleep because my body says I've got enough sleep already, and yet if I don't, then I'm tired by the time I get to work. I can't wait for explant. I can't wait to make amends to my body and soul. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Jackie, It may be that, while you are sleeping, you are not getting deep sleep. Many of us have fibromyalgia . . . that's a condition where the surface of the muscle becomes very taut, pulling on the joints and causing pain. A sleep disorder goes hand in glove with FM. Put together, it causes depression. There are some sleep medications that can help. Ambien is fantastic - but insurance companies resist because it's so expensive and Temazapam works well. Doctors who understand FM won't mind prescribing a sleep med on a long term basis (as long as you keep the dose low). Also, drinking a cup of Celestial Seasonings Sleep Time tea (the extra strength is extra good), helps get that sleep.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Hi , The first two weeks I had disrupted sleep. That went away and now I am experiancing alot of dreams. Not bad ones but long and many! For the past week I have been waking up at about 4am. It also takes me awhile to fall asleep. I go to bed around 10:30 11:00 and fall asleep around 12:30 1:00 am. I should just go to bed later! Lol! Take Care > > I was just wondering what other changes in sleep patterns has everyone > noticed?
