 Hello. I just joined the group today. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia the beginning of the year. Went through a long bout of constant migraines and insomnia. Right now I am dealing with adjusting my medication until I figure out the dose that will help me sleep as I still suffer from insomnia which has now began to interfere with my life. Migraines are under control, I just can't sleep and have a great deal of pain in my back. I never thought about support groups and my nurse manager suggested it today so low and behold...here I am. Looking forward to chatting with all of you.

 Hi BK,

I just joined tonight too. I have FIbro and suffer from Insomnia also. Just did the sleep study thing and I now use Ambien to get to sleep. It has given me a few good nights of sleep but I don't like all the meds they keep giving me.

 Thanks for all the welcomes....I tried Ambien..it didnt work for me. I am currently taking Amitriptylline which helped with the migraines. Helped me sleep for 3 weeks then it stopped. I also have Ativan but am only supposed to take it 3 times a week. Doesnt help much eihter. I did get some sleep when I took a Flexeril with my Ami but that has stopped working too. I sometimes feel like I am falling apart and when talking to my doctor he said to increase my Ami. I get such a pill hangover when I take all this medication or as I have seen it called on here a "brain fog". I would kill for a good nites sleep and am losing hope. I recently missed a day of work as after a long weekend of only getting 5 solid hours of sleep in 3 days my body shut down and when it did I slept right through my alarm and slept 9 hours. Woke up with heck of a "pill hangover" though and never called off work nor showed up. Thank God I didnt get fired. It is really starting to interfere with my life.

 Welcome to all the newbies here, you have found the best support group on the web. bk35, I usually only get 3-4 hours sleep at a time. Maybe instead of sleep meds you could try some melatonin from a health food store. It helps my bf, but all it does for me is make me feel like a drunk wandering around the house at night.
May life always bring you laughter.
