I was originally diagnosed with ME / CFS about 10 years ago. I beleive this diagnosis was incorrect, and that I actually had fibro then. I had a fibro diagnosis about 5 years ago. Anyway, when I was first ill, with whatever it was, I used to get the most amazing dreams. Not particularly scary, but VERY confused, and SO vivid! Sometimes it was hard to shake them off when I woke up, and I would get 'fragments' of them hanging around all day! I would get these vivid dreams maybe 2 or 3 times a week, and then they gradually tailed off. I still get them occasionally - funnily enough I had one this morning! Anyway, the point of this ramble is that I wasn't on ANY medication, so it definitely was the illness, not the meds! When I mentioned it at the ME support group I went to, several other people commented 'Oh, yes! the dreams! I'd forgotten about the dreams!' So it seems that this may be quite a common experience. It's OK - you're not losing your marbles! Hugs, Karen

I have weird dreams too but mine can't be due to ami because I only ever took one dose a few weeks ago since I hated the effects of it.

I have a theory that my dreams are due to the sleep disturbance...
