It's 4:30 and I'm in the same boat. Hope you finally got to sleep.

The sweat drips down my face also and I haven't done anything active

except for walking to the kitchen for a cup of coffee.

Do you have a place you could drive to so that you can scream and cry

without the worry of who may be around? From personal experience, the

release is worth it.

When it comes to this horrible journey of pain, I know that my

happiness plays a role in how much I can tolerate the pain. Please

don't allow the pain to rob every part of your life.

, so sorry to hear you are struggling with sleep. I wish I knew some

magical formula to help you. I look forward to knocking myself out at night

with my all my meds and I cannot imagine how it would be to feel pain 24/7.

Just enduring it for 16 hours is bad enough. All day long at work, I tell myself

there will be an end to this day. I, too long for a gentle hug because I

essentially live alone.

I do have a college-age daughter who drops in and out but I try to put on my

best fact around her. She needs to enjoy life and not worry about me. Having

her dad die suddenly at 16 was hard enough. So I do know the hunger for a

human's caring touch or a companion to say he/she cares, especially at night

when loneliness/depression can set in the hardest.

But I read the posts to this group and I almost always feel a little better. I

hope you get some sleep tonight.
