Pain and dreams

I can relate...I have always had vivid dreams. Even prelyme - sometimes I would wake up from a dream...and be very emotional..it will take a few minutes for me to even realize it was 'just' a dream...and not really something that happened.

Sometimes, I don't know if I've been dreaming about my symptoms..or just deeply thinking about them and not totally asleep...

that's so funny about the pain drugs LOL I would think the same thing

I have always had messed up weird dreams, but I think they've been pain free dreams that I remember.

Maybe not in the years before I finally got pain medication that worked, but I've forgotten or blocked it out.
After being reinfected in '92, or relapse, whatever happened, I did start to wake up with so much back pain I had to slide out of bed to the floor, to stand up. My back hurt too much to use any of the muscles to sit upright to get up.

Actually, right about the time I started getting decent pain meds, my Mom bought me an awesome pillowtop mattress, and between the two, no more pain going on to wake up with.


Many of my repeat dreams were of running/soaring effortlessly through fields. It was awesome, even if I was running like a chimpanzee! LOL.
I really miss not being able to run.
