Insomnia...
I was SO looking forward to sleeping today as Sunday night I was up all night. DH came home and I was in bed by 5pm, but couldn't sleep. Now it's 12:30am, I've taken my meds, extra tylenol, and and sudafed for my sinuses, but I have terrible heartburn, aches all over and an odd pain in my hip/buttocks. My foot is reacting to the storm by flaring up a bit- not a full flare like I had this weekend but extra pain, all the same.
Why is it that when I PLAN to sleep well, I can't seem to fall asleep? My last doctor gave me ambien, I wonder if my new doc would spare a few? Then again, it didn't always work.
I have such a full day tomorrow and my son will be up early...it's this damned weather. All of MI is rejoicing in the warm weather and while warmer weather does usually make the RSD better, the rain makes it worse. I seem to do well when it's hot enough for AC but it was only in the 60's today. Still, I feel like if I could cool off the house a bit, I'd sleep better.
The terrible thunderstorm didn't help- why does every joint in my body ache during storms? I have RSD in my foot- not anywhere else. But I can feel it before it arrives- I feel like an old lady complaining about her arthritis. But damn it, I want the cool weather back! Not snow, but just nice 40's during the day and 20's at night.
Ugh- gonna TRY to fall asleep again. I'm SO overtired that I can't sleep!
Forgive my venting- I just thought that I'd be asleep by now!

Hope by the time you get this you are sleeping, I did fall asleep only to wake up and sort of awake now and now I cant fall back asleep.
I hope you were finally able to fall asleep and get some rest. Wishing you to be sprinkled by the sandman's dust and that you are in dreamland by now.
Gentle hugs,
Jenna
I stay awake and funny enough, while kids are getting ready imp am tired ss and gphave no problem getting to sleep.
I use sleep tablets and that makes things hard cause they make me so tired and the pain doesn't help.
