i have always been one of those who was in constant pain, i have fibro but i also have back problems, and rhuematoid, but for some reasons, i quess the meds have been right, and i have been having good days, not great ones but good ones, but i seem to be going into a different cycle, i can't get enough sleep,, i slept all day yesterday, and all evening, and most of the night, i am worried i am going into a flare, what do you all think?

My first question would be..what have you been doing? Have you been over exerting yourself because you feel good? My next question would be..Have you been sleeping well at night? Not tossing and turning or getting up during the night?

Warm Hugs,
Nancy

i haven't been doing anything out of the ordinary, and the answer to sleep at night no, i don't know how, even if i sleep, i am up and down all night, that is with a sleeping pill, muscke relaxer, i don't have any trouble going to sleep just staying asleep. the only thing i have done different is taking my daughter to ball practice on wednesday's,, and to ballgames on saturday, the gym is 3 miles away from the house, but the ballgames are a little hard, sitting on the wood bleachers, but i went to her ballgames during the season at school, so i don't know if that would affect it, you know you just can't figure this fibro stuff out, just when you think you have it figured out, it changes, you know i just thought about this the doctor lowered my pain medicine, and from lortab, to norco which is the same except lower on tylenoll, i haven't been taking it because it doeesn't help,, i think i just answered my own question, that is why this site is so helpful.

Good for you Jerrysg. if you have located your own issue..

I often find that things get worse or better when I have done NOTHING different. My doc says it's the nature of fibro and no matter how much we can try to manage there is always an unpredictable element too.

I hope you can get your meds reorganized so you can do your sleeping at night again.
