Ooooooh the pain

Who would have thought that going to bed could cause so much pain , when I was ill as a child mum would say stay in bed and rest it was the best remedy, not now it's torture, was only in bed two hours and couldn't bear it any longer, I sometimes think I must have been evil in a past life to have been delt such an unforgiven illness as fibro in this one, x

morning down247 I know just how you feel. Wondering when nightmare will end [excuse the pun] I do take narcotic medicine which helps with numbing my head feeling the pain. [morphine codeine]. But I am starting to leave longer between taking it, although it is not easy. But then it will be more effective when I do take it. Hope you will find a way to get some relief love uggycat xx

Yes I use to love snuggling up and have a lovely deep sleep - but now I hurt, toss and turn, fidget and ache - I get up and read and watch TV and go back to bed then I do it all over again - its a cruel illness - hope you have a good day 😐. neese. xx

I have problems sleeping too. I also used to sleep really well but now some nights (like last night!) I just can't get comfortable because of the pains in my legs, my hip hurts so it's painful lying on my right side and I have gastric reflux so sometimes even lying down is uncomfortable! I have a v-shaped pillow to prop me up because often the only comfortable position is sitting up - as well as helping with the reflux it takes the pressure off my hip joints. I also listen to audiobooks on my ipod, which often does the trick. You can set a timer so that when you do fall asleep you don't miss the rest of the book.
