Insomnia...
24. May 2009 at 00:42

No matter what I do I can't get to sleep.... again! The last 2 weeks I've felt like I'm being punched in the kidneys every 10 minutes. I have absolutely no apetite and the only thing I can do to sleep is get watered! I'm on tomazapan from the quack and they just make me hyper so I've stopped taking them. During the week I have to be up at 5:00am for work and I'm awake at 3:30am give or take 10 minutes. I can stay up drinking till 1:00am and I'm still awake at 3:30am. I'm sitting here wide awake now although I don't have to be up in the morning I can guarantee I'll be awake in the wee smalls. This lower back pain has no cause as far as I can tell as I don't really lift anything heavy, I'm just on my feet for a long time (never still, but moving around).

I've got another appointment at the quacks Tuesday morning, I just wish I could sleep. 2 hours sleep a day (if I'm lucky) is just dragging me down.

Tonight (so far) I'm down 6 cans of fizzy yellow stuff and a half bottle of bells and still wide awake! Shocked

If I go to bed I'm just staring at the glow in the dark stars on the ceiling and will be for a few hours yet. I'm not asking for a diagnosis just venting a bit. Sorry. Tongue

You have my total sympathy. I suffered with a bad back from my rugby days for years (in fact had 2 operations) but still I had problems.

You don't want to hear this but I got cured by spending £1,500 on a specialist orthopaedic bed and £650 on an orthopaedic chair.

Since then - touch a lot of wood - I have had one or two bad days in the last 6 years.

Suggest you get the quack to find the root cause and address it quickly before you turn into a Zombie! Thumbs Up!

I've never been a great sleeper anyway and I've NEVER played sports. I've never been a follower of any sport. SWMBO enjoys sport more than me. My quack thinks I either have a water problem or a blood problem (I wish he'd make his feckin' foreign mind up) so is basically treating me for a sleep problem, which doesn't help when I can't get comfy in bed Angry

I have some empathy with your predicament, but not sue you should be drinking with your medication at it is supposed to give a similar effect to alcohol.

I have rouble in getting to sleep, the mind starts and that is that, my solution is similar to yours, whisky. Though once taken I sleep through, mostly, but have to have the right amount, too little and does not work, too much and peed. For day to day use I buy 1.5L bottles from the supermarket, use a little water to make the drink longer.

Appetite is a massive problem for me, since my illness weight is a problem, have huge problems in trying to keep it up, weight Tongue

So you have my understanding mate.......

I never drink and drive, but I do sometimes wonder about the next morning

Is this sciatica, or however you spell it, I have suffered for years with trying to get comfy in bed or sitting, sometimes......... Sad

Thanks for your input Mike, I was dry while I was taking the pills, I didn't sleep for 8 days on them! It's not a sciatica type of pain, it's more like a regular dig in the kidneys. I try and mix the drinks to make it last longer. I've had a few nights on just the malts, ended up drinking 2 litres and walking the 3 miles to work the next morning!!!

For day to day, i use supermarke stuff, cos I use falvoured water to dilute it, but, seriously 2.0L in a day, that is a problem, you really need to have this out with your GP
