Why is it that on a night that I NEED to sleep so bad, I can't?

The pain in my face and legs is keeping me awake tonight. I can't get comfortable! It's not as big of a deal on the weekends because my hubby is home to take care of the kids if I need to nap the next day. Sunday was that way because I couldn't sleep most of the night Saturday night.

But tomorrow I have a four hour round trip to take my son to an allergist. My Mom will be driving us but it will be an all day event. We have some grocery shopping to do and my Niece has her follow up appointment from her surgery after my son's appointment with the allergist. We live so far away from everything that we try and get as much as we can done in one trip.

At least a friend of ours is letting two of her teenagers come with us. They are great kids and such a help with the younger kids. So my seven passenger van will be at max capacity tomorrow.

Oh and does anyone know how to tell if jaw pain is from a tooth or not without going to the dentist. My last appointment with my neuro he said that he agrees I am in a flare. The jaw pain started after that though. But it's not constant, it's worse when I'm tired and doesn't seem to be bothered by heat, cold, or sweets.

Also does anyone else have a problem with flickering lights? Like when a florescent light doesn't come all the way on and flickers. I have noticed lately that when I'm in a room with that it makes me feel sick to my stomach for the rest of the day, even when I'm only in that lighting for five minutes. It also makes me completely off balance and I almost can't walk, and I start sweating. I have had two EEG's that have been totally normal. But this started after that, it's actually pretty new, within the last couple months.

Okay sorry this was so long. I need to vent and keep forgetting to ask the questions when I talk to my doctor, so I figure I'll ask all of you while I'm thinking about it.

I hope everyone has a great night.
