Dealing with Insomnia from Fibromyalgia

Pain from Fibro is so bad I avg three hours max in last 20 years. I drink a ton of coffee and use high THC cannabis to keep me on this planet, planet of the Apes!!

Oh is that what's it from?

Magnesium glycinate and CBD were a game changer for me

Have you heard of or tried listening to different colors of noise? I've been listening to brown, blue and green noises which all help with healing and sleep. Even when my pain is at a medically induced coma level, I go on YouTube and find one. Listening to any of these has me asleep in 3 minutes or less, usually no longer than it takes for my head to hit my pillow.

Omg it has been so hard for me to go to sleep before at LEAST 5AM I am so tired of it 😭😭😭

Ive only recently, like 5 months, have had the insomnia. When its more like Restless Legs Syndrome, ive had some luck with light compression socks (<15) and varying heights (ankle/crew/knee-hi). Odd but true. I have different ones bedside to try as needed.

Amitriptyline, with the brand name of Elavil.

There's always a sleep disorder with Fibromyalgia. Might not be the same sleep disorder for every person with Fibromyalgia. Painsomnia is very real. 5-HTP is a great treatment option.

Yes frequently 😥 then the polar opposite and the lethargy hits

I take amatryptaline, not sure on spelling. I cannot go to sleep without it.

lol it’s 12:30 am here and I’m wide awake with pain

Once I was put on Flexeril 10 mg at night, sleep was much improved. They also use elavil the same way...talk to your Dr about it....

I didn’t know fibro causes insomnia? Except for the pain from fibro which can keep you awake!!
