Can't sleep, everything will eat me
Feb. 3rd, 2010 10:50 amI now have confirmation that not only do I talk in my sleep and mutter incoherently, I also whimper, cry out in pain, and sob at regular intervals. Last night, I apparently also woke up four times, got up, wandered around, went to the bathroom, and openly muttered in pain.
This is one of the major hallmarks of fibromyalgia.
I've got actual proof now, though.
James and Beca slept over last night. James stayed up until about four. Our recreation room is directly across the hall from the main bedroom. James said he could hear my cries from where he was sitting, over Adam's snoring. He urged me to visit a sleep center. I agree. Honestly, he's the first non-doctor person to insist this since I was diagnosed. I trust him. I trust him implicitly, and if you know James, that says a great deal.
Agenda for the week: After digging out of this snowfall, I will locate the nearest sleep specialist who handles fibromyalgia cases. Maybe even someone who is familiar with cerebral palsy, as well.
A large part of me is yelling that I should have done this years ago. I just didn't think it was that big of a deal, you know? Nobody had observed me sleep recently anyway.
