You know I feel the same as you alot. I've discovered from talking to my Dr's and just self deduction.

The meds can make me really, really tired

Depression can make me/anyone really tired

Another thing i've noticed is that I move around an awful lot when i'm sleeping, my legs and arms are getting a great workout, (pity I couldn't lose a few pounds!!) this is worse than restless legs and I reckon that too isn't helping me get a good nights sleep.

Chronic pain without relief like what i'm feeling right now and i think you are too can cause depression and for me that depression will knock me for 6. All I want is to sleep, the only time I feel comfortable is when I'm asleep or lying down, mostly when I get depressed, i'm not one to cry alot but this time round I could cry for Ireland, I can't see my way pass today, I can't see a future where i'll feel better, where I know that i'll have a resonable lifestyle and this is really getting me down, not to mention the pain
Since the revision surgery it hasn't made much or any difference in terms of pain and this is just awful and I mean awful! I can't even walk properly but I am trying because I know walking helps get rid of depression but then this is catch22.

I went to see my GP two weeks ago about trying to get some help with the pain becuase I couldn't get an appointment with my Consultant and he god love him couldn't help me, he wanted to, he desperately wanted to, he could see how much pain I was in and how down I was. He gave me something extra to help with the depression because when my head is in a better place I feel I can cope better. I'm not doing too well on that front either.

Gee, I didn't expect this to be so long or such a moan about me when you're suffering just as much but I hope you know what I mean,

I hope we get some relief soon, the pair of us!!!

Chat soon hun,
