- About Me:
- multiple health issues increased past year. sleep study showed I obtain only 10 minutes of REM sleep nightly. I am so tired I cant function at all. Tired, confused, forgetful etc all the time. My doctor after sleep study said I am not sleeping due to severe pain and sleeping pills wont help obtain REM sleep another of my doctors( pain doc) wrote for ambien. I dont sleep any more or feel more rested.The lack of restorative sleep is affecting my personality and functioning. Please, can anyone help I want to get better.

I recently found Xyrem and it is the only sleep aid that works for me consistantly. I know that it is prescribed for narcolepsy but many with ME/CFS are now using it as well. Mr Doctor prescribed the free sample and now I am looking patient assist...

I've noticed people have mixed feelings about Ambien...I'm one of them. One time I took it, and was out for a good 8 hours...no problem. My mother had it, and it only worked for 4 hours for her. My Dad (since deceased) had Sonata, and since I'd lo...
I still haven't found the right med(s)...or I'll become immune to the effects, and need to figure something else out! It's exhausting! Then someone will tell me about something that works for them...I'll ask a few questions about side effects and ...

I would also try depedning on your cituation, home remedies. When i was in pain with my arm, i had such a bad night with RBD one night.That i pulled every muscle,every tendon, and every nerve ending, to the point where it felt like my arm was in fire for one month. I did everything, and eventually it helped. Medications, heat and ice. Prayer, and finally the one thing that worked, was a chiropractor. He readjusted me to the point where i didnt have any more pain. I even tried castor oil and the old towel remedy.
These are merely ideas. But if you have more questions, concerns. Im here. And i do understand. i have more than one health problem my self.
And as far as the chiropractor goes, i found one that let me make payments. I hope this helps, take care and i hope you feel better.
