Guest guest Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Hi Folks, I am new to the group, have not listed in quite a while, I am only finishing up my first year with this RA, have it in my hands, fingers wrists, elbows and occasionally knees, ankles and God forbid the toes. Along with the pain at night, I can't seem to sleep. I am on Plaquenil (I guess the first step in this roller coaster ride), and I went out and purchased a really good mattress about 6 months ago. I wake up from discomfort/pain about 4-5 times a night, and have a terrible time trying to get to sleep to begin with. Anyone have any advice? I am taking Arthritis strength Acetaminophen every night before bed (650mg)- I am allergic to most other OTC drugs. Hate to complain -- and I agree with another poster who had the line, " I may not look sick.... " I'll have to use that one. Thank God for the Internet, I don't feel so alone...
