Does anyone else feel the worst waking up in the mornings?

I just read through many of these old posts. Mornings are bad for me, too. Most days, I feel I've been beat with a baseball bat and feet sore, hard to walk.

Sometimes, I get up feeling pretty good only to start feeling toxic after I've been walking around a bit and starting the daily barrage of supplements and herbs.

Sometimes I feel pain in the night. Other times I feel comfortable in the night, but as soon as I wake up, I feel nerve sensations start to go through my body like my nerves are irritated, especially if I get woke up by sudden noise or other people stirring around the house.

It's not just sleeping, though. It's like the minute I lay down or turn the lights off to go to sleep, I feel a shift inside of me. Sometimes I get weird, scary feelings. In times past, I've had episodes of unwanted mental images immediately upon going to bed. Other times like the last two nights, as soon as I laid down, the air felt different and I felt like I was breathing toxic air. It kind of burned my nose, and I felt like I couldn't breathe easily. Before I laid down, I noticed none of that.

I've had trouble sleeping, waking up, and getting up all my life, even before I was Lyme sick. I really think I was born with the infections.

Since I cant quote myself, only copy and paste past comments:

"Mornings are tough. If I actually get to sleep in on the weekends, I feel even worse pain wise. Sometimes its a lot better, hope for more of those days. When my hand tremors were bad, I could hardly brush my teeth in the AM.

I feel best in early evening with body pain and brain function. It takes all day to loosen up, stretching in the AM has minimal effect on me." ]

Its interesting seeing our own past comments. Above was mine back in 2015.

This morning I got out of bed after a full un-awakened 8 hours of sleep with minimal stiffness other than a recent soft tissue foot injury from mountain biking feel pretty good. I worked out upper body last night too. No anxiety (its the weekend to).

Limiting stress: I have a lot id like to get done this weekend, but have accepted the fact that I wont get everything done that I'd like to. Not enough time without some relaxation/fun (a must to live).

Current lymies READ ON:

I came here in 2013, but read from 2010. I can function now, but still do not claim 100% cured because I am very though in the description of "cured", although many would say I am cured by their standards.

My advice to many still sick here on this post is to not just go after the bugs, but also do everything you can in addressing individual body system malfunctions.

Get your thyroid free T3,free T4 and tsh checked. If they are hypothyroid then get antibodies tgab and tpo.

If you have morning anxiety and too much night time brain activity try something like Holy basil that calms the nerves from controlling cortisol spikes.

SLEEP IS A MUST, many posts on this here with good advice. Try many different calming amino acids one at a time to sleep.I did it, so can you. I averaged 3 hours of sleep a night for 20 years with this. Did not dream for 20 years either, now I do. Even cheap capsules work, no need for expensive tinctures. I experimented with amino acids, sleep herbs, Rx sleep agents and OTC Benadryl for sleep.

Body pain- use a foam roller and or other myofacial release tools before bedtime and learn to understand your muscle system.

You and or a Dr just concentrating on lessening the bug load is not enough. The body needs to be at ease to conquer this.

Yes mornings are by far the worst for me as well. I usually wake up very tired and will yawn constantly until I get out of bed. Also my legs will ache on bad days. I usually improve as the day goes on now that the evening fluey feeling I used to get pretty much every day is gone.
