What are you taking for sleep? I was on Ambien CR and it quit working for me. Restorative Sleep is imperative to get thru the pain and stay stable.
My Dr. did a 200 person trial study for seroquel XR . It was for fibromyalgia, but found it worked well for sound sleep. He added me to the trial and I generally sleep 10 hours straight. It's a blessing and was able to lower my pain meds and anti-anxiety meds both from 6 to 4 pills per day. The FDA recently just approved it for fibro.
You need some assistance. Do you qualify for state help? My mother in law is 89 and lives in Washington State. We live in Arizona-my husband made arrangement with the State to come in 4 times a week. They clean, grocery shop, and take her to Dr. It's so many hours a week. Really nice arrangement as she has no friends or neighbors to help either.
Hope you can find some assistance. your friend, loretta
