Guest guest Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I have seen this mentioned in the posts and now I'm wondering if I have that problem. I'll be at work and there will be days I have extreme difficulty staying awake. I actually nod off for a few seconds. (I hope it's just a few seconds.) This can happen many times during one of these spells. Nothing seems to help. Not coffee, moving around, fresh air or anything else I've tried. These episodes are getting more frequent. Also, I have a hard time thinking during them and make mistakes. I am having a hard enough time holding on to my job with the pain. If I didn't have to support myself, I would have quit years ago. Ironically, there are many nights I don't sleep more than an hour or two, despite taking sleeping pills. Then some days I just sleep most of the day and night. (Weekends, except when it's so bad, I have to take a day off work.) I thought these symptoms were just side effects of the meds, but the symptoms are not consistent. I'll go days without any problem at all. If someone has the problem, how is it diagnosed? (Although, God knows, I swore I was through with tests, doctors that don't help etc.) Thanks, Patsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
