Debbie,

No sleep is awful. So sorry that you are going through this. I hope

you get some relief and good sleep soon.

Hi Debbie,

I also have insomnia, so I understand how you feel. My doctor gave me

Ambien, it does help. I only take it when hubby is home. He works out

of town, and I need to wake up, if needed.

I do try to nap in the day. Its weird, I get sleepy in the afternoon,

when its time for bed, I'm wide awake.

I'm glad you have an appointment soon, keep us posted, Tawny

Thanks Tawny for saying you also have insomnia. The after I didn't

sleep I tried but couldn't take a nap. Was able to sleep that night

but the night night I didn't again. Did sleep good last night

finally. I will let you know what my pcp says about my insomnia.

Not enough rest is very bad for us. I only get 6-7 hrs sleep. I wake

up quite often, due to the pain and stiffness, along with the fibro

pain. Have you tried OTC sleeping aids? Sometimes they help out, or

at least until you get to the doctor. Good luck, and let me know how

your doc visit goes, Tawny
