Addict,

I have been active all my life. Running and gym so I can ski water and snow. 16 months into this and no way.

I swim for 25 minutes and can walk 2 miles now every third day with slight repurcussions but. Occasionally I feel a pop in my head while swimming and I have trouble sleeping for the next couple of days. I can use 1lb weights for exercises..not happy about that but it is better than sitting still.

No running,weights or skiing yet.

Sleep is much better now but still inconsistent as to what it will be like for any given night, but much better...I am happy with an uninterrupted 4 hours now and being happy about it makes a big difference. You actually adjust to it pretty nicely. Some nights are 6 hours and I wake pretty regularly at 10, 12, 2 and 4, the good news is most of the time I can return to sleep.

I haven't used any meds.
