Yup, that. The most important thing I can say is sleep when your body will allow. If that means you're in the middle of dinner and have to excuse yourself to go take a nap, so be it. If I don't sleep when my body tells me to do so, it may literally be a day or two before I can fall asleep.

Karen,
My issue was headaches in the middle of my head. The neurologist related this due to my atrophy causing headaches near the spinal area. Therefor gave me Nortrptyline and it's helps me sleep and so far so good...

Hi Jimbo, the Nortrptyline helped me too the first month I was on it. I probably slept 8 hours every night after I started it for about 3 weeks or so. I am going to ask my PM doc about my sleep problems next Friday. Hope you are getting some relief for your sleep issues with it! Have a super weekend Jimbo. Karen

Hi Karen,
My doctor suggested that I listen to Mindfulness Meditation for Pain Relief by Jon Kabat-Zinn. I'm not really one for meditation stuff, but I've been listening to it for the last week when I go to bed and its the first time in 4 months (that's how long I've had CRPS) that I've slept through the night. It's only $13 on amazon and $11 to download on his site so it might be worth a try. I hope you get some sleep!
