Sleep and Pain

[Crystallmatters]

Well trying to get to sleep with pain , it is 02.12 in England , I am staying relaxed despite the horrible pain which , I am recognising and having compassion for telling myself it is ok , and I know you are there. Music on in head set , online sleep for chronic pain. Thinking about I might not get much sleep but if I can grab three maybe four hours before morning, that will be a start, probably sounds familiar to us all ?, we need a switch on the back of the neck as a reset button, how I wish.

I know for me having taken what I can in medication , the rest is down to me to except and run with the flow. I find the music through the head set calming , if the pain is bad , I change to somthing with a lot beat in it , I try to tune it into the pain , it works with practice , then calm later.

To day I basically found myself so fatigued with pain , I could do nothing but not stay awake , another one of the many FND symptoms . What will tomorrow bring , I cannot talk, my leg won’t work , Pain all , thousand ants with pick axes smashing my body all over, or an elephant stampede over my body . What fun, let’s embrace it have compassion.

It like an overload the body when it gets in to much pain it spreads and moves.

i wish you well all over the world , this is a great site , I am just sorry we all suffer in some way.try

I will find somtime in the next hour I will hopefully fall asleep.trying make it worse just to amuse myself ,try to stay calm , sorry to those of you suffering love David

hi David, it’s 10 pm on west coast US. I am sorry that you have so much pain. I feel like my arthritis has taken over my body. I just took my last dose of painkillers. I ate a small piece of homemade cannabis cake. It helps me sleep or at least relax in bed. I really hope you sleep restfully and I will include you in my prayers tonight. Good night✌🏻

I’m very fortunate. I am prescribed a sleeping pill that works.

A natural sleep aid is passionflower tablets. They help pain, anxiety and sleep.

[Crystallmatters in reply to Konagirl60]

Thank you, so is a passionflower tablet under subscription ?

[Konagirl60]

No. they are a natural supplement. You can find them at a health food store and in some pharmacies. The brand, ‘ Pascoflaire ‘ from Germany is the best.

Muscle spasms can be eased with magnesium bis glycinate.

Also, try some of the pain relieving healing frequency videos on YT, they are very helpful.

174 HZ is a particularly good one for pain, just type it in the search bar and give it a listen.

The frequencies are all mainly good for relieving stress as well. ☺️
