It is 3am, I am having the same sleep problem, or lack of sleep problem I had the other night. Only this time I am not stressing about work, I just CAN'T fall asleep. I have been trying since 11pm! One of the hardest things about Fibromyalgia is you can't sleep because you are in pain and have insomnia, but your fatigued and in pain cause you cant sleep. Its a never ending circle of tiredness and pain! I keep bringing up fibro, and for those who are not familar or do not know much about it, it is a chronic syndrome. There is no cure, and no decent medication in the medical field currently that helps at all, I know because I have tried EVERYTHING! I was diagnosed when I was 15, and it is something that over the last 11 years just keeps getting worse.
According to WebMd:
Fibromyalgia is widespread pain in the muscles and soft tissues. Fibromyalgia is a syndrome-a set of symptoms that happen together but do not have a known cause. In this syndrome, the nervous system (nerves, spinal cord, and brain) is not able to control what it feels, so ordinary feelings from your muscles, joints, and soft tissues are experienced as pain. People with fibromyalgia feel pain and/or tenderness even when there is no injury or inflammation.
This is what the most recent thoughts and ideas are about Fibro, yet doctors still do not know why or how it is caused. I will talk about it more in my next post. Until then, I pray I get some rest!
