Default Do your symptoms get better after sleep?

Do your symptoms get better after sleep? For me I always feel better, and symptoms are less severe after I sleep, even if it’s only for a couple of hours. It’s like sleep will re-set my brain.

For me...it's important to get sleep and I have felt a lot better generally once I got back to a regular sleep pattern.

However...on a DAILY basis...I usually feel WORSE after sleeping. I think it's because of the immobilization for such an extended period of time. Whatever the reason...I'm usually in more pain and have more swelling after I sleep and it's really hard to get moving again.

How's that for a complicated answer...

I always feel better after sleep. The first 10 minutes or so of each day are the best. I started setting an alarm for about 30 minutes before I want to get up so I can take my gabapentin and get in my system before the I get up. This helps more than if I let the pain set in when I get ready for work in the morning.

I usually feel better also after sleep, being immobilized does stiffen my joints but for the burning, throbing, and shocking pain its much better and of course then through out the day it goes back up.

I think in general, sleep is one of the most important things for people that suffer chronic pain.

I've noticed time and time again that when I don't sleep well, my pain level the next day is higher. Absolutely repeatable.

Amount and quality of sleep is an absolute predictor of how much pain I'll have the next day!
