- It is 4/23 and its 3:26 am and I cannot sleep!!!! I have a consultation for a breast reduction tomorrow and I have a lot on my mind so I think thats why i cannot fall asleep. I am exhausted but i just toss and turn. My body is hurting so bad I feel like I cant even move my legs. My hand and fingers hurt so bad I can hardly type or even make a fist.

Sleep Deprived
So I already have an opportunity to give you a little insight on one of the many problems we who have fibro face. The lack of ability to fall asleep, sometimes it doesnt matter how exhausted you are you just cannot fall asleep. Last night was one of those nights for me. I was so tired in every way last night from having a busy day but no matter how much I wanted to or tried to I could not fall asleep until after 5 this morning. It is now 7am and my son is awake. I cannot go to sleep because my husband has duty and wont be off work until tomorrow afternoon. When I dont get enough sleep my pain level increase drastically. My arms and legs feel like jello and have an aching pain that is so uncomfortable its almost unbearable, I feel like I cant move at all. This is all paired with a headache. My son takes president over anything so I have to ignore how miserable my body feels and take care of my wonderful son.
