Pain, or MORE pain at nite
is a very common symptom...no one knows why. Maybe because we are 'moving' less? Only YOU can determine that.
As for sleeping all nite? I don't know if you are working, but if not, don't fight it! I found at first that I would do series of naps of 15-45 minutes during the day and really only was able to sleep no more than 4 hours consecutively at any given time. I wore out a recliner...I've just about worn out a second one...I LIVE in it! Often I find that mattress a torture chamber.
This is why many docs, neuros too, often prescribe anti-anxiety or tranquilizers to help folks sleep..these don't work for me...SSRI's and MOAI's{?} knock me on the floor for days..... So I do the warm milk thing, and herbals such as valerian and chammomile... They help 'some', and I get by... I would not accept tho, a doc prescribing ONLY such meds to treat neuropathies, unless they work....many are known only to have effect for 2-4 months from stuff I've read. We must build up a tolerance or something.
HOpe this helps!!!!! - j
