Sleepless Nights

I like my sleep.  I function better when I've had a good eight hours sleep.  Recently I've only been able to sleep three or four hours each night.


Funnily enough, I'm not awake because of the pain.  I'm not sure why I can't sleep, but it could be the medications I'm taking. That is a one long list of medications as well.  I do have a pill to help me sleep but it seems to keep me up more than anything.

The list of meds I'm tried is longer than my arm.  Thankfully, I'm down to just two (four pills) in the morning and two (11 pills) at night.  I also have three as needed medications plus a cream that is supposed to help.

The only thing that helps the pain is sleep.  I get the rest I need and pain is much less in the morning.  When I don't sleep, the pain starts off too high in the morning and it only gets worse throughout the day.

Just let me sleep...
