Re: Is it just me??? bedtime

[Guest guest]

Hi Kelli,

Mine acts up more at night also. I can't keep my left leg bent, even

when laying on my side. If I do then my knew, lower leg and hip just

really hurt! Can't lay on my right side because of a bad shoulder.

Trying to talk my husband in getting a mattress topper for our bed to

help me sleep better.

Me, too - I read online that this a common phenomenon. http://

www.fibroself-help.com/public/fibro/

I find that I often wake up in the early morning - 2 or 3 a.m. - and

am hurting so much that not only do I have to take more pain meds,

but need to lay on the couch instead of in bed, 'cause I can't get

comfortable.

If it is your hip or back try putting something between

Your knees when you are on your side. Also if you are on

Your back put some pillows under your knees

Hi Bet,

My hip, knee (not knew) and lower left leg all throb when my knee is

bent too long. Another group said to use the pillow, too. When I put

one between my knees on my left side, it still bothers my knee. When

I am laying on my back I do put the pillow under my knees. When I was

in the hospital often I had several spare pillows to do that.

I remember when I had the auto accident and was in physical therapy

They told me to put the pillow like that and also a roll under my waist

When I was on my side..

I seem to have my best hours of the day from about 1 or 2 hours after I wake up

(takes that long to feel better) and it lasts for about 5 hours and I am wiped

out again. So I make it to about lunch time usually before I get that all over

exhausted aching fibromyalgia rotten feeling. Now, I usually don't really have

too much pain at night and sleep pretty good but everytime I wake up from

sleeping I feel like crap for a while. (worse than the other times of the day).

What meds do you take Kelli?

Yes, me too. I find I'm more comfortable on the couch. I have a sleep

number bed and no matter what setting I have it on my body HURTS so

badly I have to get up and lay on the couch.

You are not the only one that feels this way. I have

the same problem. I have gotten to the point where I

am going to work, coming home and getting something to

eat for supper and then I lay on the couch until it is

time for me to go to bed. I do have to take more pain

medications in the late afternoon and evening than I

do during the day.

I always feel worse in the evenings too and usually have to rely on

more pain meds at that time. What is it about the sun going down that

makes the fibro-monster rear it's ugly head? That just sounded like

something out of a horror flick! LOL

[Guest guest]

This was my routine for a couple of years. Now I'm to the point where after

two days of this and I totally crash. I'm currently unemployed and getting

awfully poor. But, even with no job I'm having problems. I have good days

and bad days. I really want an even keel but, well, you know.

Hugs,

Jane

I think that after working all day long the body just starts to cry out!

Mine doesn't like to be up and about that long. It starts going into reject

mode. Also, though I do have pain in the day I don't like using pain meds

until I can be home and relax or go to bed. HOWEVER, getting up in the

morning can be incredibly painful so, I don't know.

Jane

sorry for pain I stopped cymbalta cuz I got acne like a teen/ then I

dug at it looked terrible. My doc is sold on Lexapro he says it helps

with my panics attact. No no side effect/ dont know how much it

helps/ he said I might need 2 tabs/ it is a 10 milg tab. Been though

other stuff with problems, like zings or makes my restlessless legs

worse the lexapro I think helps that now I think of it I liked

cymbalta/ but I normaly have great skin. I find soma helpful for

sleep and muscle spasums, Just my 2 cents. vikki
