What’s fun is that doctors won’t treat pain with anything now nor will they treat insomnia because their main concern is abuse. I have four autoimmune disease diseases and menopausal. My doctor won’t put me on HRT. The few things she has put me on haven’t touched anything she made me do a drug test a sleep apnea test negative and negative and still I get no help. It’s getting to the point where I’d rather not be here how do you even find a doctor that will help when nothing works well, nothing that the doctor is willing to give you.

Sleep is everything for me.. I have found a natural way to help me sleep that doesn’t suppress the CNS.. 🙏

It’s awful. And no one cares if they don’t experience it themselves. They have “no idea” how much depression, anxiety, and increased pain it causes. Or why you can barely function. But it’s really not that hard to imagine. At all.

I wish more medical professionals understood this. Stop telling me to sleep more and ignoring that nerve pain is what's keeping me from sleeping

My MD kept ignoring that I wasn't sleeping.... until I started emailing him every time I couldn't sleep.
At my next appt he opens with, "I see you are not sleeping at night..."

So true. I’m desperate. Im on pain meds and I’m on sleep meds and I still barely get 45 minutes of deep sleep a night. I can’t fall asleep or stay asleep. I toss and turn all night and just feel so exhausted all the time. It’s caused so many issues

It's a nightmare faking asleep to wake up soon after due to pain, readjust, fall back asleep, wake up from pain, readjust..... repeat all night every night. Im always tired and in pain

I have chronic complex migraines and occipital neuralgia, fighting this for 20+ years. Doctors say nothing left to try because I have been through it all. My psychiatrist is the one that worked on helping me find a medication regiment for sleep. Still searching for help with pain.

I haven't slept more than 3-4 hours at a time, in years, even with 2 meds specifically for sleep, plus the ones that should make you a little drowsy by nature.

Is that why I'm a horrible sleeper? I never put that together with the pain. I wake up in pain all the time during my night. I'm lucky I get 2 hours sleep, and then I'm up. I do this all night long. I just thought I was a weird sleeper

Oh yes, the pain wakes me up so when my doctor suggested, I might need surgery on my frozen shoulder. I was freaking out in my head.

what definitely sucks is, finally getting the pain manageable then going to sleep and having to start the cycle all over again.
