I’m unable to work due to BP and Fibro but I also have spinal stenosis and PsA so lots of debilitating chronic pain. I’ve always had insomnia but it’s so bad now that I often don’t trust myself to drive when I go more than 2 days without sleep.

Fibromyalgia is notorious for having sleep issues and any sleep we get is typically lousy sleep because our body are always in a “fight or flight “mode. I think that is what researchers need to focus on. Sure neurontin and Lyrica work on hopefully “taming “the nerve pain but that’s more a bandaid and not focusing on the real problem. One day I suspect they will find a cure but I’ll be long gone by then.

I hate not being able to work it’s demoralizing.
