Hi, I am Woodsman. Have you spoke with your Dr. about your symptoms? I have been dealing with almost the same as you. I can suggest the following; 1. Speak with your Dr. 2. Get a sleep apnea test. 3. Ask about RLS (restless leg syndrome) 4. Ask your Dr. to prescribe Ambien CR to help you get to sleep. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I now have a CPAP machine which really helps if you stick with it. I was still having some trouble getting to sleep, so I ask my Dr. for ambien which really helps me on the really bad nights. It is not recommended for those people with sleep apnea, but my Dr. knew the benefits would outweigh any side effects. Also, I DO NOT like to take any meds that could be habit forming, which my Dr. also knows. So she trusts me enough to know I will not abuse any medication. I do have some restless leg/numbness going on. But it sounds like you have it worse than I. If you have health insurance, they will pay to rent/own your CPAP machine. I hope this helps in some way. I know how it is to be so tired. Woodsman |
"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (bunny_fly)
