I used ambien for a few nights when symptoms ramped up. It caused me to have double vision, which was such a trip.
I too wake up several times a night canagirl from pain. Before I slept like a stone and did not even budge for 8-9 hours.
The fatigue gets me to, as I wake up just as exhausted as going to bed.
There are many like you that have the SFN.
You are not alone.
