Hi there, first time on here. I have been in bed off and on for 3 weeks now I get this overwhelming feeling that I have to sleep and just feel ill and have to go to sleep sometimes sleeping most of the day when wakened I was getting a lot of pain in my arms so would take painkillers and have to sleep again, needles to say not been at work for 3 weeks now, off more than in these days. My hands are shaking more and more now. Does anyone else get these symptoms?

Yes diagnosed on Nov 2019 after 5 years, I don't have insomnia as such only when having flare ups. I have nerve damage in both arms and pretty numbish but the shaking is new, sometimes I can't even text,

That's a lot of codeine to take regularly, side effects include feeling spaced out.

Do you drink lots of water and take Lactulose medicine to counteract the other side effects of dry stool & constipation?

Tremors in your hands need investigating if it's a new symptom. There could be many causes so it's best to run it be your GP. xx
