Before I got "sick" with FM I found my hubbies snoring annoying, but I could stick it out. Until I started having trouble sleeping....what a joy ride that has been! Anyways, hubby had a sleep study and found out he has sleep apnea, and I started using ear plugs. This was ok for awhile, and the sleeping pills the dr gave me helped. After a while I couldn't sleep because hubby would always be moving his feet and making the bed move. Can you see where this is leading? We got a new bed! A king size bed "bowling ball bed" that claimed you couldn't feel your partner move! HAH!! I could still feel the bed move Then... we returned the mattress and got to twin XL mattresses to go on top of the box springs[they come split with a King sized bed], we had to make separate frames as I could still feel the bed move, thus no sleep for cinnabon! About3-4yrs later, we can't sleep in the same room anymore because 1) hubby won't use his Cpap and still snores 2) my sleep is so screwed up that I don't sleep till usually 1-2 am and my hubby needs to sleep so he can go to work the next day! I never thought that in my 40's I'd be sleeping in a seaparate bedroom from my husband! I thought only the Flinstones did that! But I have come to realize how extremely important sleep is, and who says it has to be in the same bed? If we can't sleep we can't function. The sleep I do get is totally NON restorative as it is, but, better than nothing I guess. Anyone else care to share their story? I am sure I am not the only one here that is in this situation!  You gotta do what you gotta do! Cinnabon

"In the 3 months I have been with MDJunction I have developed a sense of calmness. I now friends who do not judge me because I have been a mental mess at times. It is such a good feeling to have friends I can tell my deepest thoughts and always get back to me with their support. I have never seen a therapist for long periods of time. Right or wrong, this is the best therapy possible for me. Thanks Roy for getting this up and running and making such a difference in my life. Sara" (saralaurie)
