I know why I wasn't sleeping, MissRain- I have severe pain from RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy).  |
I am so glad to hear it's helping you! That is wonderful, I understand about pain waking you up, I have a pinched nerve in my neck and other parts of my body ache all the time too, but the pain meds don't always relieve it all. The Amitriptyline really helps me sleep almost the night through. I usually wake a couple times and that's just from pain. A good night's rest really does matter in the management of pain.
So glad you are getting some good rest InHisHands, thanks for reporting in to us the good luck you're having on it.
