Mornings are hell for me

Married with 4 year old daughter

When I wake up in the morning I feel like I was run over by a truck and I

feel sick, just horrid.

I was wondering if others feel so bad in the morning or is it just how

this disease has affected me? Thanks for any comments.

I have CFS /ME, and I feel like I've been hit by a truck most mornings, too. 

It's funny because, as I read your subject line, I thought to myself, " Like I've

been hit by a truck, " and that's the first thing you said, too.

I feel achy, anxious, feverish, headachy, you name it.  It gets better after a

few hours.  I have 's disease, too, and have to take Hydrocortisone

steroids three times a day, so I don't operate on full throttle until after my

second dose of steroids at noon.

Mornings = torture

The muscular pain and brainfog don't allow me to function until at least 2 hours

after I wake up. It doesn't matter what medicine, supplement or even caffeine I

take, nothing makes the mornings better.

Yep, mornings are the worst for me too. I used to tell people that I felt like

" Beetle " after Sarge beat him to a pulp. Remember that comic strip? I am

taking Cortef, which supports your adrenals. That helps, I just have to take

with breakfast ASAP. When I forget, I am certainly reminded!

Well it''s 5:30 once again and I woke up as the pain had gottem so bad. Took two

vicodins and am sprawled out on the couch trying to figure out the licence plate

of the truck that hit me. I feel like a Loony Tune cartoon being flattened out

by a road grader. Hopefully I can get back to sleep but I seriously doubt it,

What a joke thats been played on us. 48 Coccydynia, Fibro, Cfids.

I feel *awful* most mornings. I'd never get up except I see the time, and

everyone is around. To describe the awfullness: wake up feeling like I haven't

slept,scratchy throat, aches and pains in shoulders neck hands and lower back.

Often I wake up feeling like I'm coming down with something-you know what I'm

talking about?

Not aways but every so often for a few weeks I'll wake up with sinus headaches

or tension headaches.

I feel so tired, but I'll get up because it *hurts* to turn over even, and I

need to take a pill and/or move some..

I have had this issue for many years. Since I retired on disability, things

have gotten better to some extent, and I have noticed that the mornings aren't

as bad when I wake up on my own instead of being awakened by an alarm. I am

often very sick and nauseous when awakened by the alarm and can take several

hours to feel half-human. If I wake on my own, though, it is just achy and

sluggish, etc., and it eases up in only an hour or so. Hope that helps! Maybe

you can experiment with this and at least improve things a bit.

HI ,

I find that taking a small dose of cortisol (I use Isocort) right before bed,

helps a lot when I wake up in the morning. I also take a small amount of thyroid

right before bed. Last night i forgot to take both and woke up feeling much

worse than usual - hit by a truck! EveryOne is different but you might give it

a try.

Peace, Love and Harmony,

Bev

I " m on disability also and so never get up and go to work anymore, so no alarm

clocks.

I have some OK days. But still, more often, I still feel awful in the mornings.

If I didn't know I might feel better in an hour or two I might never get up.

So many mornings I really thought I had pneumonia again, I felt so bad.

But then I noticed it dissolved into just my regular fatigue and aches/pain, not

total misery. K.

Thats exactly what I do too Annette-exactly the same.

Amazing, isnt it, we're all so similar, though we don't live nearby one another,

& most of us have never met.

And to think there's still doctors that don't believe there's such a thing as

the conditions we have! :-/

Yes! I definitely remember Beetle , .

And yep, it is like that...as if one's feet are twisted around, one up one

sideways, back in a pretzel shape, head down where one's ankle should be....and

*pain* inside and out. Yes. :-(

I feel the same in the morning. However, weirdly I feel better when I

sleep less than 7 hours. I have no idea why.

I  feel exactly the same way every single morning.  I describe it to others

exactly as you put it, except sometimes I add that it ran over me more than

once.

Oh yes, I do know what you mean! If I'm able to get up after 6 or7 hours I feel

better too. But unfortunately, I usually dont fall asleep quickly nor do I stay

asleep, plus muscle relaxers and opiates keep me sluggish too, and influence my

sleep patterns. I wondered about the fewer hours thing too! :-)

Hi I am Helen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland

I don't usually post.

I waken about 6am my body screaming for pain killers then sleep on sofa as my

bedroom is upstairs. My bathroom is also downstairs. After I have slept for 2 -

3 hours I wash and dress. I am unable to work due to my many problems.

Long story short- 5.5 years ago slipped disc followed by emergency surgery to

remove L5 S1 disc due to Cauda Equina. Botched surgery leading to sensory loss

to left leg causing muscle wastage. Deterioration of second disc causing

problems now. Have to take variety of medication to manage pain in back and

legs. 2.5 years ago numbness started in back but is now all over my body- no-one

knows why. 2 years ago MS was suspected but tested negative so specialist s

diagnosed ME/CFS. 1 year ago diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. 1 year ago arthritis

on right big toe diagnosed, recently had steroid injection which is already

wearing off. Back to specialist on 2nd April to consider surgery!. My balance is

constantly worsening causing me to to stumble more often and I have fallen a few

times. Week ago diagnosed with Costachronditis- severe pain located to left side

of chest. I already take Lorazepam occassionally when other pain relief not

working but taking it more frequently now. I walk with elbow crutches. Physio

and GP referred me to OT January, who will re-assess me on 4th April. I can walk

about 100 yards then have to stop or spasms start in my legs. I have a thyroid

problem, arthritis has started in my right hand. Pain is constant everywhere on

some level. Pain and sleep now dictate my life. This is all non life threatening

just lifestyle thretening. Anyone else falling to bits like this? I will be 50

in a few weeks and often think I feel about 30 - 40 years older listening to my

woes. I am clear of depression for now but have suffered on and off

unsurprisingly. All this within the 5.5 years before this I had 3 part-time

jobs, was in education and did some voluntary work. I have been a single parent

for 8 years kids now both in late teens. I don't have no social life so remain

single as I feel I have nothing to offer re a relationship. All very

frustrating. I could scream but no point!!!!!

Any advice would be welcomed

Regards from Helen

What's morning? My sleep disorder prevents me from having anything similar to

day/nighttime hours, or a regular sleep schedule. I sleep on and off around the

clock, and very seldom get more than 2 hours' sleep at a time. However, if I do

get more than two hours, I feel sluggish, stiff, and really dopey, and all the

parts of my body that were touching the bed are very painful. I have FMS, CFS,

CMP, and OA, so why should I expct anything less? But it's all acceptable and

manageable, most of the time!
