Though I can offer some possibilities, my best advice is to go see a sleep

specialist. This is VERY important. For two reasons: (1) if it is sleep

apnea, it can damage your cardiovascular system, (2) regardless of the

cause, poor sleep only magnifies your symptoms.

Belinda,

have you had a sleep study? Sometimes excessive daytime fatigue

means you are not sleeping well at night. You may not even be aware

of having a sleepp problem, but it can show up in a sleep study.

Talk to your doctor.

Belinda,

When i get where I can't stand the pain in my legs I take an extra 300 mg

neurontin. I have my doctor's okay to do this since I am only taking 900

mg/day. It does seem to help. Of course it also makes me sleepy so I

suppose it will make your sleepiness worse. of course all these

neurotransmitter drugs affect people differently.

pain and constant sleep

Hi all,

I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago with a infection in my urine. I took the

medicine. I guess I probably need to go back and make sure that it is

gone. I was wondering though I have extreme pain in my arms and leg

muscles. Does anyone think I might ought to take a muscle relaxer?

Can anyone recommend one that really helps them? Also I was wondering

about my sleep needs. I am getting worse and worse about needing

sleep. I don't think it's depression so I have ruled that out. I just

can't seem to stay awake. I can't make myself stay awake no matter

what I am doing. I can fall asleep anywhere and doing anything. I

have had extreme fatigue for a long time but not to the point that I

need sleep as much as I am now. There are days out of 24 hrs that I

might only be awake for 6 hrs. This is so frustrating to me. Thank

you for any advise.

God Bless,

Belinda
