Re: How Do You Feel When You Get Up In The Morning?

[Guest guest]

Hello Annie,

I feel less pain after a nights sleep, and the pain gets worse as the

day goes on. But I am on Cymbalta and its helping me. I do feel

fatigue however, and I go back to sleep about an hour after I wake

up, and nap for two hours. I have tried so many things to help me

with the fatigue, but nothing is working. But I do have real bad

pain in my right sciatic nerve and in my right hip, down my leg.

That pain comes on with rain and sometimes for no apparent reason as

the day goes on. My rheumatologist just told me I have arthritis in

my right hip. Maybe you could check for osteoarthritis in your hip.

Just a thought...

Gentle hugs,

Loretta

Annie,

I have gotten my heat pack too hot too. I got up in the middle of the night

and heated up my neck pillow/rice bag. I put it on my neck and went back to bed

and to sleep. When I woke up, I had a nasty burn across by neck. It covered

the entire back of my neck. When I went to the chiropractor, she said it was a

2nd degree burn. It was rough for several days, but finally got better.

Hi Loretta,

I am so glad Cymbalta is helping you. When my pain first started to

get really bad, my doctor sent me to a pain specialist who diagnosed

me with Fibro. Every time I go there I have to fill out a form --

what is your pain level 0 to 10, what is acceptable 0 to 10. I used

to say to myself why would anyone put that anything more that 0 is

acceptable. Now I know that any relief is a blessing when the pain

gets really bad.

Thanks for telling me about arthritis being a possibility. I

appreciate it. My doctor has sent me for many, many tests since this

all started. Of course, almost all the results were negative or

normal. One of the first tests she sent me for showed that it was

not osteoarthritis although I do have that problem in my knees and

hands.

Thanks for the thought.

Love,

Annie

It almost makes me dread going to sleep, because I know when I get up

I will feel like a pile of crap.

>

I have to say that until we started planning for the weekend trip we

took this past weekend, I had been doing pretty well. And had been

for much of the time since returning from a trip back to the midwest

to visit family and friends back the end of July. But now that I

think about that, I was on an antibiotic for 10 days which could have

helped with some of the symtoms I have. But since I have had

insomina since I was a child, just getting sleep is a blessing! And

now that I mention that, I have to wonder if my mother was ever aware

of how little sleep I got! I would go into the two events that could

have triggered that but it's too much to write here other than to say

that, when I was 23 months old I saw my older brother killed by a

drunk driver --- had nightmares for years and given what happened to

him, it is logical that I would have --- the car struck him, his

broken body flew through the air and landed feet from where he was

struck, and there was much blood. Then sometime after my 8th

birthday but ending before my 11th or 12th birthday, I was molested

by a neighbor of my grandparents --- the changes in my behavior

following those incidents were attributed to the fact that during

some of those years my cantankerous paternal grandfather lived with

us --- meals at our house were seldom pleasant with him telling my

father how to live his life (my father was getting close to 50 if not

older at that time!) and my mother was certain whatever was " wrong "

with me could be laid at my grandfather's feet.

So for me any sleep is good but there are times when I do wake up

after a really sound sleep and will feel pretty good, but most of the

time, it is a struggle and has been for much of my life!!

Strange as it may sound, I have sometimes gotten my best sleep during

the few times when I have been in the hospital!

Now that I am not working, I do find that I generally wake up around

9 or 10am, sometimes take a nap in the afternoon!

I feel fair in the morning when I wake up. I get up at

5 a.m. in order to be at work by 7 a.m. I am not in a

lot of pain until I am at work. It seems the longer I

am up, the worst I feel.

I have the same thing too. If I am up and around alot that is what makes me feel

so bad. but then when I lay in bad and watch tv I fall asleep cause it feels so

good. But as soon as I get up and around I feel crappy. I would do what I have

to and go lay down. But I get up and around as mush as I can cause I don't want

my body to shut down on me. Rox.
