Hey

Hey michael, nice to meet you!I also have full body RSD.

I haven't slept for more than about 2 hours at a time for abour 5 years - and I don't think you can get used to it. Pain wakes me up and keeps me awake and because of my dystonia i get woken up my muscle spasms/ muscle spasms throwing me out of bed (always a fun one!) or nowadays - muslce spasms getting me stuck through the cot sides on my bed (that happens far too much..).

Anyway - like Artist I find the best thing to do is have LOTS of pillows... and if you can to tilt the bed (mine tilts upwards/ downwards and is generally a walking talking bed).

Fatigue - I mine swings from being in the background (like over the summer holidays I spent alot of time in bed/ resting and the fatigue calmed down) and since being back at uni I feel like a functioning zombie...

lI think every RSDer has sleep problems - but they also seem to be different sorts/ different intensitie.s

Take cAre

Frogga xxxx
