Saturday I really pushed it, went out with my wife and bought a Lazy Boy recliner. For us it's a major investment because, as you all well know, I spend so much time in it so it must be comfortable and last a long time. I pushed it all right!

Came home exhausted, went to bed and slept to 4:30 PM. Back to bed at 8:00 PM, up at 12-midnight, bed again at 2:00 AM and back up at 4:45 AM. Then we went out for breakfast, home and back in bed by 11:00 AM, up at 4:00 PM, took a shower (a major energy drainer), suffered and back in bed at 9:00 PM.

Here I am "AGAIN" at 3:15 AM up and feeling like crap. I even took two whole Klonopin pills and still only got six hours out of it. Well, seeing my PCP on Thursday as sleep doctor recommended Ambien CR at night rather than the Klonopin so we will see what happens.

Thanks for sharing your experiences because now I don't feel like I'm the only one. Between the chronic sleep deprivation and dealing with the pain and other symptoms, my life right now is like and expensive Kirby vacuum cleaner and sucks with "GREAT" intensity.
