[homer6]

is this common

[getactive]

yes Im afraid it is-at the moment I wake up exhausted and after having a shower I need a lay down. I find it hard to get going as my legs really hurt especially when I am having a flare up which is nearly all the time at the moment. Take care x x x

yes very common i think especially if you have had a bad nights sleep and dont really realise it. I can spend up to half an hour trying to gentle stretch the legs and feet just to be able to get up, or get up and try and use the muscles under pain untill they loosen which isnt nice you will also feel more tired if you didnt really sleep well again sometimes you dont really realise you havnt had a good nights sleep untill you try to move. If you have reslessleg or other jerks and stuff in the night it may wake you up but not to a point of being fully awake just enough to disturb your sleep, you then wake thinking you have slept and actuall you have had a really disturbed sleep which will make you feel dreadful. Sometimes if you have a partner they will tell you that you have slept badles and you will know otherwise you may never actually know and you think you are getting a nights sleep.

I wake up exhausted no matter how many hours I get. I am in pain every day so I cannot always differentiate between the norm and a flare. I hope it improves soon for you xxxxx
