Hi Carolyn, talk to your Dr, they may give you some sleeping pills or suggest other ways to help you sleep. You could try some Melatonin or try some OTC pain relief sleeping aids.Â
A dark room and a schedule help me, along with sleeping pills. I am trying to wean off the pills, so I am splitting them in half; before long-I hope to split them into 1/4ths & eventually be free again.
I would also recommend talking to your rheumatologist. Mine had me take Benadryl with my sleep problems. But I also have Ambien in case of emergency. Depends how desperately I need sleep.Â
If you find out please let me know I don't sleep anymore either to much pain especially in my shoulders, elbows and back
