Ok so i did the next step of trying to find relief to my fibro. I have been dozing off while driving to work in the morning, falling asleep during meetings or at my desk and have to take naps most days i have time. Finally, it was scary enough that i decided i should get treatment for this and the insomnia. You would think i was asking a cancer cure. Today i saw the "sleep" doctor who when i asked if he treats many insomnia issues in fms patients told me no. At least he was honest to me. After explaining to him that i have frequent waking with vivid dreaming, i told him i thought it was the "alpha wave intrusion" which he agreed with. Thus told me the next step is to verify that with a sleep study. I asked how that would help to determine treatment and he said it wont, its basically another check mark ruling out "other" things. Ok, so how is this problem treated effectively?? The respone was that its very difficult to do so...really??? Thanks for nothing. So what do i do until the sleep study to help my sleep, nothing. It really pisses me off to be a nurse and see people get handed sleeping meds, benzos, and narcotics for silly things, yet here i am an educated young woman who hates taken drugs and i cannot get anything because they worry about the risk of abuse and addiction. Honestly, my best night of sleep in years was after i drank myself stupid. It is beginning to make sense why people become alcoholics, you just get so desperate for relief that you take matters into your own hands. Thus, i dont even feel like the sleep study will help me, just going to be told that its something i have to live with but they know its not anything else "serious" ahhhhhhh help!!!
