is it just me or does anyone else feel worse when they are laying down or going to sleep? my twitches get worse, shooting pains, nerve pain, chest pain, etc. is this all in my head or is it really worse or maybe im just focused on it more when im laying down, thanks, brian Posted by Tincup (Member # 5829) on :
I've never heard of that happening so I will have to assume that you are just krazybrian.
Yes, as a matter of fact.. I stay propped up as much as possible, even on nightmarish days. I seem to feel worse if I lay down. And I know it certainly doesn't make me feel better to lay down.
So, I guess you are notcrazybrian.
Darn, now I have to be kerazy by myself again!
Oh wait.... talk about krazy...
Tutu.. where are you? Come here sweetie pie.
HA!

I feel worse if I lay down as well, but I just thought it was due to the time of night and finally slowing down from the day.
I usually push myself to do, do, do, go, go, go so when night comes and I sit/lie down, the pain really sets in.

I feel worse if I lay down, even if I prop my head up. I can be yawning, but once I lay flat, something comes alive in my jaw and my legs feel restless.

Oh yes, nights are torturous. I hate going to bed.
Been taking Lyrica for Fibro, but it doesn't help at all for the Lyme pain.
In the a.m., feel as if I'm 100. Hang in there, I'm so glad that others really know what this is all about.

Same here! When I lay down the all over pain
really sets in, especially in the arms and legs.
UHH! I push myself to go go go too. If I don't
I feel so much worse..It's so hard to do when
all you want to do is sleep and curl up in a ball
and cry...Mornings are hard too,,but ever since I
have gotten my yeast under control a little I
don't wake up with that "hit by a bus feeling".

I also feel worse when laying down. It feels like the electrical sensations in my head get much more intense. And it doesn't seem like it's only because it's quieter (at night) when I'm laying down.. I have to ask a doc about it.

Well notkrazybrian , that has always been my problem too. Lyrica has helped.
If you think about it your nerves are irritated, inflamed and are the most unruly little buggers around.
Soooo if pressure is placed on the nerve you're gonna feel the effects of nerve inflamtion.
Be it stinging, buzzing, pins & needles and so on. It's all neuro problems.
This had gotten better for me w/ abx tx. This is just my opinion backed up by my LLMD.
