Not being able to sleep is infuriating. Tonight is one of those nights. Last night I was in miserable pain to the point where in could not relax. I've had serious issues with this my entire life. I literally find myself so tensed up, my neck muscles are clenched, my butt is clenched, it's insane. You're laying in bed trying to sleep and constantly having to focus and relax, then I find I'm all clenched up again, to the point my head isn't even tough in the pillow. It's maddening. I just try to do what a few other people mentioned, I wear myself out. I try to not get too crazy and beat my self up over it. It's not like I have a job anymore. I just try to be on a similar schedule as my husband. He has gotten used to being up for hours alone and our not ever going out for breakfast or being able to schedule things earlier in the day. The RSD is happier when it gets to control my sleep, so we let it. Of course I know others can't always do that. There are jobs and children or things that have to be addressed. But for me I try not to stress over not sleeping too much, I do have the luxury, if you want to call it that, to not have to get up on time the next morning,




if my body doesn't want to.
