Do you ever feel sick or get pain for no reason? I was just wondering if I'm the only one. I think I just get it from being emotionally exhausted from the cycling. It's just that yesterday I had gotten a full night's sleep, but still had to sleep the rest of the day because I was absolutely exhausted and feeling sick for some reason (swollen glands and all). When I woke up at 8 at night, I was still drowsy, but felt 100% better. Does this ever happen to you guys? Like you just feel really sick or in pain for a few hours and then it goes away?

Well I'm constantly in pain, but aside from that, my other issue is insomnia. Every once in a while I'll crash and burn and sleep the day away. I do start feeling ill, and then my body just shuts down. One thing I've learned (the hard way) is that just because we may fall asleep doesn't necessarily mean we're getting the rest we need. This would lead to the sick feelings and sensitivity to pain. Then when you do crash, you will feel better, because your body's able to recuperate. Patrick

Every once in awhile, I just sleep sleep sleep. I know how that feels. I don't feel sick so far, but that could be from sleeping too much, you never know. I hope you feel better. Call your doctor and ask him about what you are feeling. He can help, maybe you need a med change!! Hugs to you! Joy, 37 years old

I just slept 13 hours from yesterday and that was forgetting to get up to take my meds. I was only planning to take a little nap because I was in so much pain, but my alarm woke me at 0600 to go walking. (I have Fibromyalgia and 2 bulging discs in my lower back) Live in Perfect Love!

Sometimes this disorder can be exhausting, especially when you're trying so hard to control your emotions and "pass for normal", as I call it. I think that some days we just get to the point where we need get some extra sleep because we're just worn out! And, if you're rapid-cycling, it could be a quick bout of depression; when I was depressed, I slept a lot! (Come to think of it, I still sleep about ten hours a night, but it's not like it used to be!) As for the sick feeling, our bodies produce a lot of cortisol in times of stress, and too much of this hormone can cause that sick feeling. (It can also make your body store belly fat, so reducing stress is very important.) Sometimes during stress you keep your muscles clenched without knowing it, and this can cause some pain and tiredness. I wouldn't worry about it unless it keeps happening frequently, and in that case I'd talk to the doctor. You may need your meds "tweaked" a bit, if you're still cycling. A med change might help.

I think I just don't know my limitations very well, and overdo things. When I overdo, I spend 1-2 days in bed. Live in Perfect Love!
