Ah bless you Trigger I know how you feel & believe me your not on your own, I think their are that many of us awake at all hours of the night we could fill the Albert Hall haha!!

Pain is so very hard to live with, it is a way of telling you that something is wrong with your body but all the doctors specialists & consultants do is mask it with medication!!! I want to get better & be the way I was 7 years ago!! I had more energy in my little finger than what I have in my whole body now & it is so depressing.

Anyway I don't want to depress you, but just to let you know your not alone hun.

Take care. Gwen.

P.S. Oh & let me join you in.......aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!! hahaha feel a bit better now!

Hi, I have had fibro for many years and it is getting no better as I accumulate diseases and illnesses. I have trouble getting to sleep, and staying asleep. I am on facebook and there are many support groups on there, with lots of good information and nearly always someone to chat to in the early hours, obviously not many do mornings lol. Lots of good info shared on pain relief to try also, different from the norm, GPs palm most of us off with. Maybe worth joining facebook if you haven't already just for the support, we all feel the same and help each other, lots of info from consultants and specialists too, some is helpful and always worth a try. It was discovered in a London hospital earlier this year, proof of fibro shows up in a part of your brain, so not just all pressure points or all in your mind!!

Good luck and hope you both can manage a few hours kip, and one night may have a decent sleep and wake up refreshed and full of energy ...I dream on lol.x

The truth is there is no sleep pattern with FM. You think you have cracked it then something else creeps in. After 20yrs of FM I gave it up as a bad job, I just wish there was something decent on the TV during the wee small hours instead of those flipping shopping channels. Sleep when you can if its only for 10 mins. I have stopped sweating the small stuff, I do things when I can leave the stuff I cannot ask other people to help.

Hi Trigger,

Sorry to hear you're suffering from Bursitus - it's a nasty condition which I have suffered from in the past. I allowed a locum doctor to inject the area which left me in sooooo much pain I would never have it done again.

I was lucky enough 3 years ago to have private health at the company I used to work for and I had x-rays to make sure it was nothing more sinister then had laser treatment which did the trick.

Unfortunately the NHS doesn't have this facility.

I agree with Joannie, about something else creeps in just when you've got over one symptom, another takes it's place!

I take Amitriptyline to help with my sleep which gives me enough rest on a regular basis - but then the itching starts or the headaches or something else takes over....can't win...

Good luck honey, try a warm compress on your hip and the body pillow too, I hope you get over it and get some healing sleep soon.

Soft hugs Ren Robin...xxx

Think I'm in the same boat as you, Trigger - both of my hips hurt, no matter what position I'm in, but not getting any groin pain, so that suggests bursitis rather than arthritis. And it hurts like hell! I would join in the screams of frustration, but I'm sitting uncomfortably at a reception desk, and I may scare the patients! On the other hand ...

Hope it improves soon, and that you find something to relieve it so that you can rest.
