But I hit the bed any way , some times he doesn't come.I use cafrigot and it tends to keep ya a wake for a while, so I try not to use it for these nite visits. To nite I took a hot shower untill the bastard let go a little,came to the board and saw your post.We ain't ever alone in this nieborhood.I'm lucky , my pain is a lot less than it was a month ago , but the visits from the beast still come on schedule.There are a lot of peeps in more pain than me so here.Right now there are hundreds with the same thought your having, fear of sleep,fear of the meds,fear of waking their family,...its a damn mess aint it.I wonder how we get by,and keep doing it,,,it seems like the beast is taking our sleep, and interupting our thoughts and thinking to keep us down, make us average.I just wish I could fight him ,head on ,and win or lose , get over. I can't give yoyu advice on it , but fight every thing the bastard trys to take from you,, hold on to every little peice you can.
