Two personalities one person

Liss, I totally agree with Marc. Bad sleep can make the difference between a tolerable day and one that's horrific. And I'm willing to bet that you do have some sort of sleep disorder, as most of us do. If you have one and it's found and corrected, then maybe you'll finally be able to get more and better quality sleep. I'm hoping that this might be the key to your pain, since your doc has checked so many other avenues. Unless you have an undiagnosed auto-immune illness, as SK mentions.

Forgive me for forgetting, but have I asked you yet if you are hypermobile? If so, that could account for the extreme pain. Just a thought... It can also be related to Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Worth looking into, if you haven't already.

Feel better,

Scribelle i cant take the meds because im allergic to them which also means i cant have the generic versions. Thank u for the ehug

I was told i have alot of ms symtoms but no legions… But was also told that it doesnt mean anything cause they could show up later. Especially because of my off the hook tremor.

Here's the thing about insomnia. At my worst, I felt the same way you do - up all night for days at a time. There was NO WAY I WAS GOING TO FALL ASLEEP DURING THE SLEEP STUDY (particularly being glued to 8,000 wires, being filmed and watched by some pervert who gets paid to stay up and watch people sleep (what kind of SICKO does that for a living, huh?!?).

Here's the thing - I do not know why it happens, but every time I have a sleep study, I wind up having an above average night of sleep. Everybody is different so maybe you will stare at the ceiling all night (but I doubt it). My guess is that you will leave the sleep study center having had the best night of sleep you have had in some time.

I'm not going to delve into why I think that is the case. I have theories that I think are valid, but the key point I want you to hold onto is that it has been my experience that YOU WILL PROBABLY GET A GOOD NIGHT OF SLEEP and the doctor will get good test data to study that might help you down the line.

I wish you peaceful sleep. Wonderful, sweet sleep.

I have major anger issues and I have no idea why. The stupidest things will set me off. I feel like I am a completely different person. I don’t know that my anger is caused by pain or if maybe I am a mega bitch. I can certainly understand if you are in pain that it will most definitely make you angry and short tempered. Maybe you could try doing more things for yourself? Like taking a hot bath with scented Epsom salts? I usually feel a little bit better after I do this. And I listen to free meditations for relaxation on my IPod at night while lying in bed. When you can’t sleep maybe you could read a good book? Something light so your brain does not have to be too involved. Or subscribe to some magazines you like and read those? I really do not have any good advice. I really hope that you start to feel better soon!

so sorry you have it so bad. My other self became violent; got me in trouble, but I am much better now. I have learned not to worry and stress about things through meditation. I took pain meds for awhile, but they added to the anger as each dose wore off. For sleep I took benedryl. For restless leg, I took calcium. For pain, I stretched and took hot baths and slept on a wool blanket. I just experiemented a lot. I went from being unable to communicate, walk, and angry to now being to hold a job and be the sweetest most patient person. Good luck!
