Hi Everyone,
Im new here, Iris, and I have been dealing with this sleep disorder for a few years and it's wearing me thin because there is no formal diagnosis. Just wondering if anyone else can relate to this...
I cycle through phases of the inability to sleep to the point of hallucination, paranoia, and needing to be hospitalized for it. Then I cycle into a semi normal sleep pattern but when I do I tend to sleep walk, talk, yell, and move about like Im never fully asleep. Husband says my eyes are open but I'm not "there".
I never feel rested ever even when I do get some sort of sleep. I have been in sleep studies with no significant diagnosis coming from it. I have been put on several sleep medications to help even me out but they do the exact opposite of what they are intended for, they make me hyper, itchy, and a bit manic. It feels like something is just backwards and Im just getting so depressed and feel crazed most of the time from sleep depravation.
Anyone relate? Thanks.
Iris
