I am so tired, physically and mentally. The only time I sleep is when I'm exhausted and even then I dream I'm in

pain. [Frown]

Woke up tonight after dreaming I broke my legs. If I take the pain meds I can't sleep, if I don't, the pain

keeps me awake or wakes me up, like tonight. Seems like as soon as the edge is off the exhaustion, I wake up. I've

tried melatonin, that just helps me drop off, doesn't keep me asleep. It also gives me really vivid dreams (like

tonight's). Between the headache, sore throat & body aches I'm miserable. I told my DH if I were a horse, they'd

shoot me. It would finally give me some rest. [sleepy]

So sorry you are in so much pain.

I used to be.

I would be up crying off and on all night long.

My right hip was the worst. Then my fingers...

Then basically everything.

I don't have that pain anymore.

Hang in there.

Sending you prayers of healing and comfort.

Hugs,

Geneal

Sorry to hear your pain. Hang in there.

I know how i'm going to feel even before I get up b/c my dreams tell me. There are nights that in my dreams i just can't move, i'm too tired and weak. And sure enough when i wake up, thats how i feel.

Betty - Reading was my favorite activity pre-Lyme. Now I can't follow the print & have trouble absorbing the story.

I do get online sometimes, but when I'm exhausted & even sitting up hurts, I just lay there & cry. I've tried

watching TV to distract myself but I don't like infomercials and there's very little else to watch except reruns. Last

night was the same thing. Slept for 2 hours then awake with horrible pain. I did manage to take a short catnap.

This is really getting me down.
