FIBROMYALGIA: road to recovery 6 (insomnia)

 

INSOMNIA: THE SLEEP PAIN CYCLE

The most intense symptom of fibromyalgia is neuropathic pain on every level of the body: from bone, through muscle, to skin. Right?

But the second most important symptom of the condition is insomnia. Right?

There is an intrinsic relationship between pain and sleep.

Sometime I go to bed with all over body aches and fears and twinges that fibromyalgia might be returning into my life. But when I wake up in the morning refreshed: that is how I know that I recovered fully from the condition all those years ago.

I’m going to be honest with you: although I came off pain medications suddenly on my road to recovery,  I kept my sleeping tablets for a while – up to a year before I actually believed I didn’t need them anymore and these days I sleep like a log.

I promise you as you begin to recover your sleep pattern and quality of sleep will naturally resume.
