Dreaming

[Jmw78]

Hello,

I've been having a stint of dreams at the moment where I always end up getting hurt. That pain is there when I wake up. Like if I exert myself, get hit in the arm etc. I then wake up and my legs really hurt or that certain point in my arm is particularly bad.

My question is, do other people with fibro get this? As fibro is associated with the brain telling you that there is pain when there necessarily isn't any (a very tough explanation), is the brain not knowing the difference between dream and reality?

This has been in my mind for a while now and decided that I should ask other fibromyalgia sufferers.

Thanks,

Mike

I find taking Nortriptyline make my dreams very vivid, colourful but gladly usually pleasant enough. Through the winter I was going to bed in the afternoon for two hours just because it was nicer to dream than be cold and watch rubbish tv.

Speak to your GP.

Good luck.

Hi Mike,

I often get dreams where I am injured or physically hurt in some traumatic way , which often wakes me and the 'injury/damage' is always in a place which is particularly painful during the day. I feel like we can never get away from pain. I have noticed that for me, therapeutic cbd actually made this worse, but low dose diazepam has helped.

Good luck, Laurie
