Any one around

[Gary23]

Any body else can't sleep, so much pain again for the 2nd night.

[anbuma]

Yes every night.am at wits end with doctors dismissing me.and not giving me any answers.Dont know what meds you are on ?I have been advised to go to A&E can you not do the same or go back to your DR.I keep going back to mine and gettign nowhere-so complaining to PALS

[Ginsing]

I find the early hours are the longest everyday, I think because it is so dark and you can no longer sleep, you hurt and it doesnt matter where you put your self it doesn't go away. I am usually about from 5.00 on wards but try and get through reading up on every one. It is better after second coffee and the morning light breaking even though it is so grey. Soon time for breakfast and getting up. Speak to you all later xgins

[sylviajones]

have been up most of the night, am very tired but it no good going to the dr, he says i should get out more, my legs are very red and painful, have been reading most of the night when i can concentrate, my grandson has been a great comfort to me, he is always ready with hugs,, am getting ready for xmas, even if it hurts i will always love his hugs. i enjoy a nice cup of tea around 4 am, days are longer but what can we do.

[Ginsing in reply to sylviajones]

Morning when you say your leg are very red do you mean crimson red and slightly swollen and do you have a temperature. When did you see a doctor?

[sylviajones in reply to Ginsing]

just above my ankles are very red and sore and my feet are always swollen, and my knees are very painful, the dr said it is ostio arthritis, and i have fibromyoligia, dibetic, and i get awful migraine headaches, and i tend to fall alot, i wear a button around my neck so i can get help quickly, i saw my dr last week and to be honest it was a waste of time because all he did was hand me a script, did not look at my legs even though i told him i was very sore

[Cookie72 in reply to sylviajones]

Mornin yes I wa going to mention the same a gins about your red legs, does your GP know your legs are red if not you must return to him, ....night times are always the longest aren't they, everyone one asleep and it's so quite, and it seems to take forever to get light, especially when we are in so much pain.....hoping you feel better...gentle hug...Dee xx

[sylviajones in reply to Cookie72]

Hi Gary

Sorry you are struggling.. And yes it is worse at night.. And what long nights they are!!

If i do have a " good" night and fall asleep.. I wake up a few hours later due to pain aches weird dreams needing the loo!!!.. Or ALL of the above!!! Soak in the bath, fluffy dressing gown chocolate and gentle stretching ( sometimes helps me.. Even if the pain doesn't go... By that time, it's morning!! Lol) x

hi garry 23 you did not say what your medical condition is ,can you give more info what medication are you on ,softest hugs .

[nanaber]

Is Ny one taking anything to help with sleeping. I can't sleep with out help in the form of a sleeping tablet or strong pain killer

[Matrix]

Gary ,I have had this horrible disease for many a long year and what I have found is the minute you know your going to have a flare start taking pain relief every four hours for a few days ,it really helps stop the flare becoming worse than it needs to be.Hope that helps .

[sylviajones in reply to Matrix]

yes my dr knows my legs are red and sore, even though he did not seem to be bothred, my feet are swolllen and my knees hurt all the time

[RIBBONPINK]

hi i never hardly sleep,with this fibro my mind just cant relax or switch off.i cant take pain relief because of my sensitive stomach.i know how you feel.

[Ozzygirl64]

Like you hunni I hardle get any sleep. Nice to meet you by the way.

I tend to go for a week or more with no sleep, but I have many ongoing liflong illnesses so I cannot just blame the fibro even if it does play a huge part.

As the years go on you tend to get used to it and it becomes second nature to pull a few involuntary all nighters

I wish you well

xxxx

[Matrix]

Oozy girl I'm same as you very little sleep weeks without rest and lifelong other things and once you have accepted it ain't going to change acceptance comes and that makes everything easier .Thank goodness for crafting that has seen me through many a long night .I wish all of you better than me and I pray you all sleep this night .xx

[Ozzygirl64 in reply to Matrix]

Oh Matrix you have made me laugh changing my name to "Oozy girl. I needed that. Another fibro trait that. I do not mind not sleeping to be honest, just used to it now. But you are right, accpetance does make it easier to deal with xxxxx

[Matrix]

Oops I'm terrible my brain is fried I know its a fibro trait lol some of my mistakes have not been so funny ,then I try and explain and talk about digging a hole well you get the pic .Well I'm glad it made you smile ,keep your chin up sweetie its always brighter in the morning well that's what I tell myself .xx

[welshkitten]
