Does this happen to anyone else?

Good Morning and Happy Monday!!

Last night I was so tired, I went to sleep without taking my usual sleep medication. I woke up a few times, but not too bad, anyway the one time I woke up, I was horrified at the intense pain my body had. Every part of my body that I could feel was in so much pain, even my chest felt like someone was sitting on me. It was crazy. I managed to fall back asleep, when I woke up this morning, I was sore as I usually am, but nothing like the feeling I had when I woke up during the middle of the night. I'm so happy that I didn't feel like that.

Anyone know what is the deal with that? It really scared me. I know I did push myself more that usual this weekend, but I have no idea where that intense extreme pain came from, and I'm over joy'd that I don't have

it anymore.

Just wondered if I am alone in this? This is not the first time it has happened either.

I sleep very badly if I don't take my sleep med. I toss and turn and wake up a lot. Seriously-lots of physical movement in my sleep.

My guess is that your body had been doing something to make that pain happen. Don't know what, exactly. Sorry, guess I am not very much help.

I think I'm ok, this happens actually now that I think about it sort of often. I wake up and just really feel a lot of fibro pain. But when I awake, I am sore but not as much as when I awake at night. It is strange, but I guess it's not a common thing? Also I've noticed if I take a nap during the day, sometimes I can sleep and sleep for extended period of time.

I guess I'm just strange

 

I think bwanna 12, you may have hit it on the nail, waking up - everything is hyper sensitive, it may not even be as bad as I think it is at the time. (Does that make scense?) But it doesn't happen every night. I was aware of waking in the middle of the night last evening, and I did not feel the overwhelming pain.

 

I'm always very sore in the middle of the night.  That's why I use a cane.  This is also proving that if you sit or lay too long, you will have more pain.

 

I don't take regular pain medications.  I use ibuprofen and Tylenol to help control the pain.  Because of this, when I get up in the middle of the night, I can take one of those to help make me more comfortable.  I like to be able to "choose" when I take thing....it's more "as needed" for me.  During the day I do better because I'm moving around a lot.

I have that exact pain so severely, that I can't move a lot. It is like I am so tired I want to fall back a sleep, but can't because the pain is so bad, that it is unbearable to even fall back to sleep. I have had that and even during the day for a very long time. I just got diagnosed with Fibromyalgia after years of pain. I have been sore and even feel like death almost everyday. Marilyn, you are right, Fibro does not want us to stay still. It is a very tricky illness that takes forever to be found after a million things get ruled out and it can hit me like a ton of bricks, at times when I can't afford to be hit.
