my improper response: " ...I get wired for sound as the day wears down and

evening comes. I cannot get myself to lay down to sleep, and if I do it's a

short while before I'm back up and pacing the floors several times a

night....One thing was never taking a dose past 6pm, with a bedtime of 11pm. So

about 5

hrs before heading to bed. It didn't stop the insomnia issue entirely but it

did help some to get at

least 5 straight hrs of sleep vs 2. "

SORRY!!! I totally missed what you were saying. I didn't realize that you

were up due to having pain at night. My corrected reply to that would be to ask

your Dr if they could Rx you a long acting/extended release medication to

get you through the night. Not sure if you'd need something quite this strong,

but the Avinza ER 30 mg worked well for me. It's morphine.
