Guest guest Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 , I'm sorry to hear that you are having so much trouble sleeping. I agree with Cary - please find a doctor who really cares about you and will find the appropriate solution to this problem. Sleep is so important! The reasons for not being able to sleep can be complicated, but they deserve a thorough investigation and effective treatment. I'll tell you where to go! Mayo Clinic in Rochester http://www.mayoclinic.org/rochester s Hopkins Medicine http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org [ ] (unknown) > Hi everyone > > I feel a little bit annoyed today as I went to my doctor to ask for sleeping pills but he refused to give me any. Since I have been diagnosed with RA I have had great difficulty sleeping. I just cannot seem to get comfortable in bed because I have RA in my neck and back of my head so lying down isnt always comfortable. I have tried sleeping upright but this doesn't work. > I have loads of very soft comfortable pillows but to no avail. The outcome of this is that some days I feel so absolutely drained and tired that I dont function properly. > > My doctor suggested I try some homeopathic treatment but I have tried this before and it doesnt work. Can anyone give me some advice. Do you think taking sleeing pills are a bad thing I would like an opinion other than his because he isnt a very sympathetic man at all. Thankyou and sorry for whinging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
