hi Leanne I am in same boat as you I am 36 and arthritis in both knees. Have you ever tried tramadol for the pain??
Definitely worth reading through the posts on this site and the list of meds to avoid. Most Anti histamines and anti depressants can make it worse. You may have to go back to your GP to ask for a referral to a neurologist specialising in sleep disorders and in the meantime ask your GP to look at other meds. Everyone is different so different meds work for different people.
Also check for triggers in your diet like caffeine, chocolate, sugar and alcohol.
