well its now 5.30 am iv been up since 10am yesterday
this has been the case for over a week now who chops veg at 4am ME
one two three yes still got my fingers . bloody fibro this is so going to catch up with me and knock me side ways with fatigue . hey ho get a shower in a mo at hope i can get to sleep .
Oh bless you Hun. Thankfully I've never had such a long stretch of insomnia. You must be absolutely shattered. I have no helpful advice, but I'm thinking of you. Don't suppose that helps at all! x
You have my sympathy. I go to bed every night knowing that I won't be able to sleep.I finally fall asleep at about 1.15 then wake at 2.15 if i'm lucky I get another hour or so before getting up for work at 5.00 this has been my pattern for months now by today i'm so shattered its unbelievable. GP no help just says it is what it is! Still have a full time job but not sure how much longer I can cope what with the constant pain in all parts of body but we have to go on as best we can. I am 54 and was finally diagnosed a couple of years ago but it still seems to be an illness that isnt taken seriously by health professionals. Hope you get some sleep!
Poor you Tina..grrr...really feeling for you...I don't suffer from lack of sleep. But I do get very exhausted...can't imagine how you must be feeling....if you can feel right now that is....I do hope you've managed to pass more than time..if you know what I mean...the whole issue your going through right now must be such a stresser for your system..soooo sad to hear about this Tina..be good to you, if you can and don't bother doing for anyone else until your sorted...-sounds harsh, but your important to you..hope you manage a really good sleep soon..:-) xxxx
Oh tiswas this must be awful for you, must be a visious circle for you. Isnt there anything you can take to help you sleep, sometimes i take a sleep pill herbal just so i can sleep properly. I do sleep its just keep having to move around to get comfortable. Well i hope that you have a good day. hugs
Hi Tiswas, I so sympathise with you, I too have trouble sleeping; no problem getting off to sleep but can be awake for hours especially if disturbed. Last night was a prime example. My son (25) has been working on his cars. He came into my room at 11.30 to tell me he'd swapped his car engines over and was now sorting out his tax and insurance! Consequently I couldn't get back to sleep until about 3am and up at 6.30 for work! Aaaahh! Arrived at work at 8am only to find out they didn't need me. At least I can rest today. I think I'll put the fire on, it's looking a bit miserable outside.
people like my husband just dont get it ,he goes to sleep to die .
it drives me mad unless it affects them they just dont care ,
oh well iv had a whole 5hrs ..sunny hear but cold .
I HAVE TwO CONDITIONS Aspergers and FIBRO both have very simulair symptoms . THE aspergers brain is wired differantly we have great diffitculty sleeping , when i was younger with kids it was not unuseal for me to get up at 2am to bake cakes or paint a wall .
our depression cant be treated with meds either my bro also is Aspergers and his had everything thats on the market for depresion doesnt work even lithum nothing works, because its the wiring not chemical imbalance and its the same with sleep .
just have to ride it .thanks for hugs
i will but its normaly thru bouts of fatigue and im asleep all day then.
they dont take anything seriously .but lack of sleep is serious its hard to function with out proper rest . and it takes it toll on the body.
when i can be bothered i do a sleep hypnoses cd which really works but i cant do it in bed because i cant sleep on my back [headphones] so i end up asleep in my chair .which isent the same .
might be worth a try for you though [ mind iv just had an idea you can buy pillows with small speaker inside you can plug in your phone and listen to your sleep cd . of course you have to transfer it from cd to phone first. i use one called rest and sleep which is very good ,
just need a brain transplant then all will be well .hehehe wish it was that simple .thanks for your thoughts
Well done a Tina..5 hours is better than none..trouble is we never catch up..have a great day..be blessed..:-) xx
well yes but its hard work getting thru the day .
hugggggggggggggggggggg
Amen to that one......but anything that we have to work hard for is sweet..:-) xx
it would be good to have less of a challenge on some days .
hugssssssssssssssss
It's also a viscous circle for us as level 4 deep sleep is necessary for muscle repair. That is why our muscles tire so easily and ache so much.
Is that brain fog???...acting up again Caroline...going to work and they didn't need you...or can we just blame work!!! lol...have a great day..be blessed:-)xxxx
Morning Tiswas...How are you today?
maybe we should have the boys round to punch our lights out each night then we would have a good sleep but a sore jaw . hehehehe
got to bed at 3am this morning up at 9 am .
not to bright eyed and bushy tailed at mo
hugsssssssssssssssssssss
Wow, congrats Tina, well done you..have a great day...be blessed..:-) xx
