Can't sleep, too much pain. Anyone else?

My hands and legs are all swollen and painful, my back is killing me, my knees feel like someone is crushing them... It just over-all hurts to lay down. I am so tired and want to sleep so bad. I just took sometime for pain, so hopefully that works and makes me pass out.

Anyone else struggling tonight?

Do you take anything for sleep? It's hell being awake when the only way to escape it is with sleep...right there with you! I've been up since 1:30 and that's pretty much the usual.

I hope the meds kick in and you get some rest.

I take trazodone, but I forgot to get my rx filled. I will go to the pharmacy tomorrow to get my stuff filled. I need to for my trip to AZ.

It's my fault I'm up, I was so tired I ended up sleeping almost all day. Starting to feel a bit sleepy now, might try to lay down again.

I hope you feel better Cherry and get some rest!

I've been taking Trazodone for years and 100 mg. couldn't keep my asleep! It used to work great...I guess pain is stronger than Traz.

Get that script filled!

I am with you. Just awoke in horrid pain. Took meds, now waiting, waiting, waiting........

Hopefully you are already back in bed and I will be again soon. I know too many of us with this problem.

Sending hugs, love, and comfort.
