Hi, vaney!!!!
You know, those sound like the classic migraine symptoms!!
Perhaps that IS what you are getting and it's triggered by lack of sleep!!
Might also be the other way round. The change is taking place in you and THAT'S the reason you don't sleep!
Take care and good luck!! I hope the time when you consistently get a good's night sleep comes true!!!

You are not alone, if i do not sleep enough I get pain horribly, no appetite and nauseaus sometimes throwing up. We need our sleep to recover our bodies from the day. REM sleep does that.

I suffer from severe chronic nerve pain and insomnia (along with a host of other problems). I do know that when I am unable to get a full nights sleep... that my pain worsens. I have an appointment with my pain management doc to get some kind of sleep aid. No sleep or consistent lack of quality sleep effects every part of our bodies. I hope you are able to find a way to get the sleep you need. Hugs~Debbie

I've also gotten sick to my stomach and had terrible headaches from lack of sleep (they feel similar to having a migrane). Sleep is important to maintain your body. Go see your doctor about having insomnia and discuss options such as sleep hygiene, melatonin, and medications. Good luck, I hope you can get some sleep soon.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
