Hi JaxIce I was on long term disability for 8 months after my diagnosis. I was extremely stressed out about going back to work and it did affect my sleep.
Lack of sleep could be a symptom of the illness and/or caused by stress. I suggest speaking to your Pdoc about it. Perhaps you need a med change/tweak and/or sleeping pills.
