Re: DOes any one ever get enough sleep?- Debbie L

[Guest guest]

Debbie, I know how you feel. Maybe your husband is thinking that if you get

MORE sleep, you will feel worse. I don't know how true that is though. It

seems I have tried both routes and neither one of them makes a difference in how

I feel when I wake up. I wake up everyday with the feeling of being run over by

a mack truck. I feel like I have a hangover. That would be a good description

of the feeling. It is like a hangover with all over pain and exhaustion and

stiffness. I don't even drink. And it is not my meds. I had this feeling back

when I was on no medication. It is just part of the fibro package deal.

love and hugs,

Debra V.

I don't wake up refreshed in the morning either. Have been on a high

dose of a diuretic so have to get up often to use the bathroom. During

the week I can doze off in my recliner while my husband is getting

ready for work. My alram is set for 7am. On weekends though have to get

up by 8am like my husband. He won't let me sleep in so I don't get more

than 8hrs of sleep. Usually much less than that.

I wake up the same way Debra - and then I drag my aching sorry butt into the

shower to get ready to drag it to work.

I try to get as much sleep as I can - often (like last night) I may be in bed

for the night, but my 'sleep' is interrupted and not restful so I wake up

feeling aching AND tired. I am fighting to stay awake here at work today.

gentle hugs

1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as

to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some

treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain

health conditions or just dangerous in general.

2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be

afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation

better.

3. To unsubscribe the e-mail is:

Fibromyalgia_Support_Group-unsubscribe

4. Also, it is not uncommon for more than one member to be feeling bad at the

same time when it comes to flares and b/c of that potentially take something

another member says the wrong way. And that includes the things that one member

may find funny (even if it's laughing at fibro itself) even though we who deal

with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a sense

of humor.

5. Pls let's be gentle with each other, and if you are having a bad day pls let

us know so that we can do our best to offer our support.

Have a nice day everyone.
