liz;

I too am tired all the time. I feel embarrassed to say this, but I sometimes (most of the time lately) can't get out of bed until 2pm or later. I get a lot of migraines from stress lately and have to nap if I have one with a cold pack on my head. I take naps in the afternoons on the days I do get up before 9am. I find it hard to function at all, I can't even get up enough energy to do the dishes and household basics, poor bf has to do it! I feel like a zero loser, but I believe its because my pain has increased and when my pain meds stop working and pain gets worse, I feel much more tired and get many more headaches. I'm tired of bed rest! I want to start working soon, I may have a P/T job coming up, so my doctor is going to get an earful at my July 1st appointment. I hope she increases my pain medication, and can help to get me off stupid muscle relaxers for extra pain so that I don't have that to create more tiredness! That was her answer to my breakthrough pain, take Flexeril 3X a day (10mg) they make me flat out tired! Then take one or two Soma at night, with Restoril for insomnia, well my insomnia seems to be cleared up now that I'm feeling so drugged all the time! I hate it, so I skip a lot of the prescriptions but then I'm in so much more pain and my meds are not working (same dose for over a year with no increase and no breakthrough pain medication non-narcotic or narcotic added, so I used tylenol and tons of motrin which is bad for my stomach and liver!) ARGH! I want a life! I currently have none. Its 2am and I am going to bed now, hope I'm up by noon. Take care!

Sincerely;

Jaz
