Sleep paralysis? Anyone with fibro find this a problem?

just wanted to say hello hopefully more of this friendly group will be on to answer you tomorrow, regards, sandra

Hi Rhiann230

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you possibly can be today? I have experienced this only once, and I thought that it was terrifying and would not want to endure it again.

The last FibroAction poll that Mdaisy took was a sleep survey, I have pasted you a link to this below:

I have no idea of the why's and wherefore's of this problem, but I genuinely hope that you can find an answer to your question.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Hi Rhianne,

I feel the same everytime I wake up myself, cant move because of it too for ages, have to make myself move about before getting out of bed but before I do feel like I'm parilised, I do have scoliosis too, degenerated spine, and oesteoarthritis which may also be the cause for me, hope you feel better, from Claire

Thanks everyone, i slept pretty bad last night but strangely enough I was only unable to wake up for about twenty seconds, the strangest thing is feeling someone else in the room, then I wake up and nobody is there, but when someone is there I don't even know lol... I've done some googling (which is bad because I scare myself lol) but only found that sleeping poorly and a few other bits can cause it, seems quite a few on here have it though so it's not as uncommon as I thought thanks for the link ken, I'll have a look after my meds, going to do some colouring with my little girl, I'm more excited than she is! (think I'm going to draw an elephant lol!) thanks everyone for the reply xxx

I have something else funny relating to paralysis. Every now and then I try to do a movement and it as if the nerves to that bit just don't respond. They are always the bits that have most pain, ie., left arm and back. For example, sometimes when I do meditation when I end the meditation practice my left arm is really stuck and the only way I can free it is to take my right arm over to move it. And then sometimes my back does the same thing, I am lying down and want to lift up my back for some reason and it is stuck lying down, I have to pull myself on to my side to free the paralysed bit. But as soon as I free it, I am ok and the use is normal. Anybody else have this?
