Morning are usually ruff for me, what I do is slowly stretch out and get up and stay up if I dont it will be a bad day.

Hope you are feeling better soon.

Mornings bite. That's all I have to say about that. (Forrest Gump)


I hope you're making progress!

It must be catching.....I hear Ya.....mornings are tough. I wake up every morning with headpain and nerve pain and stiff. So getting up is a chore. We should form a club! To cheer each other out of bed each morning. Wouldn't that be great! What would we call ourselves?! I am us most of the night too so if anyone ever wants to pm in the evening feel. I really hope your day gets better for you. Stretches do really help. Gentle Yoga, is my favorite. I have a DVD that I work with. Hugs, Cathy

I hear you on mornings. I have to do 20 minutes to an hour for stretching before getting up most mornings. My poor dog who wakes so peppy has do deal with me dragging along after her on her walk. Once I'm in and have fed my sweet pup, I take my morning meds and head for the long hot shower. If I have to go anywhere I must be sure to set the alarm 2 hours before I have to leave. Yup, UGH!

Have you tried a TENS unit?

I hope you find something that helps soon.

i hear you to tom morning are hard on me to and more when its raining and cold which is what its doing now since yeturday its been raining and been cold since yeturday here your not alone hang in there

Mornings suck!!...especially when they start at 3:30, cause the pain wont let u sleep any more..

If I could I'd bottle all our mornings and sell them for us!!!! I'd change them all in for afternooons.....after the stretches and once we are all in the limbered stages!
Ya I don't do mornings if I can help it......which most of the time I can't LOL!
Thinking of you all!

I'm with the rest of you. Can't move in the morning. Can't make the coffee, well I can if its worth the pain. We now own a stainless steel coffee pot so it won't break if I drop it. Hands & feet don't cooperate so I lay there until the meds kick in. Good old Wheaties just would not do a thing for me. Use to get up before it was light out, big changes. I feel for you all.
There are mornings Tom my husband has to roll me & then attempt to push me up as my back wont unbend. Enough to make you want to scream. I get it. Sammy

I've been awake for 47 hours! Not by choice but for some reason my insomnia has come back with a vengeance. My hubby gets home at 230 today and I am SO going to bed. I know I could fall asleep NOW but I have a 2 year old. And he JUST got up an hour and a half ago.

Lately I've been getting up hours before him (when I sleep) and taking a LONG warm bath. It's like easing myself into the word. I've always taken baths in morning but now that I have a toddler, I need every bit of energy and less pain. So a bath before HE gets up allows me to get stuff going.

But today we have rain, so I'm aching and my leg is tensing. I HATE complaining and know that I'm lucky my RSD is only in one limb, but the past few days with the rain and cool weather has made it worse. Winter should be interesting.

I just feel bad that I can't get going b/c I've been w/o sleep for so long. I'm allowing my son a pajama day (we do that once a week) and he's happy. He gets an extra Sesame Street on PJ day, and art projects. Today's will be easy, like coloring! I guess even a 2 year old can get a day off when Mom is hurting and exhausted. As long as this is rare and not the norm, I can live with it.

I really hope the last person has gotten some good sleep by now. Yep!
