I can't sleep! I have had trouble sleeping for 3 nights now. I am so fatigued. I took a nap today and it didn't help. My back spasms are so bad, they are keeping me awake. Took two baclofen around 9p. And it is now 12a, and I just took two more. Hope I don't screw myself up, but it is horrible! Feels like charley horses in my hips and lower back, feel like I got hit by a car. Hope everyone is getting a good nights sleep, cause this sucks.

Have you tried a sleep aid? I take ambien and have horrible sleepess nights if I don\'t.
Sorry to hear that, Sherie! It\'s awful when your so tired, & go to bed then just lay there thinking!! Ambien is good, or AmbienCR which lasts thru the night. Old Charley is visiting again?? Bummer!!! I hope you feel better soon. Love Ya, Peg
Hi Sherie- I am seeing neuro Monday about spasticity for the first time. I have it very bad in my calfs. I have tried stretching, walking, etc. And they are like rocks. This is new the last couple of months. 4 years of MS and never had this problem. I am worried about taking baclofen though. I actually take Xanax right now at night to help me get to sleep which I know is not good but I have anxiety too so it helps both. The problem is that I need to take something for the stiffness during the day. I understand about not sleeping though. I have to take something every night for sleep, usually xanax and an over the counter sleep aid. Then take adderral during the day to stay awake. Doesn\'t it just suck?
Sooooo sorry! Tylenolpm works pretty good for me. Hope you can get some rest today. Hope you have a better night tonight!.
I pray,Lord,that you take this pain from my friend.That you touch and soothe her and give her a peaceful night\'s sleep.Amen
Dont you hate that when you take a nap to get rested and it doesnt happen! I too, have been having problems sleeping. Thinking of you. Have a great Easter.
Ok, so none of us are sleeping~~~~I say we have a slumber party (sans the slumber)!!!!!!!! First one to sleep gets their bra frozen!!!!
It\'s 3:10 am here and I can\'t sleep either :( House to myself and no energy to enjoy it. Hubby said I was like sleeping with Jackie Chan last night. All kung fu moves!!! Told him I was just practicing my break dancing. lol
Hope you have a great Easter!
Hey Sherie, I feel sooo bad that u are having such pain & sleepless nights due to the pain. I get that also. Those bad charleyhorses. I get them in my back legs & hips. I dont think because you doubled up on the baclofen will do u any harm. I have done that. Just dont make it a habit. I use tylenol pm. It does not seem to cause any side affects to the meds. A friend of mine whose mom has cancer, told me that although her mom is on all kinds of pain meds, she takes the Tylenol pms to help her sleep better. So I started taking them. Try it. I hope it will help. Best wishes. I will say a special prayer for you.
Luv ya!
Chris
