I have tried meds,therapy,a very expensive sleep study,books,cd's ,eating differently, switching my sleep schedule,no chocolate or caffiene, acupuncture, reiki,even seeing a clairvoyant therapist! I have no insurance, this is completely ruining who i am, i feel as if my soul is gone, please someone give me some advice, thankyou
