RichnStacy, I hear ya!! I am soooo tired during the day, then if I stay up real late I end up wide awake like I am now
I get told from various people that if I sleep during the day then of course I'm not going to sleep at night
I have found it helps if I take my gabapentin around lunchtime, as it starts to really kick in by bed time
I wish I had of been put on it loooong ago
Richnstacy, its not a sleeping aid, its a medication to help with the neurological pain in my feet. It just happens to also help me sleep as it eases the pain, as well as the crawly icky feeling in my feet, and has settled the restless legs. I guess it sort of helps me to relax a bit.
Richnstacy, it is a part of kidney failure, mainly due to being very underdialysed for some time. I was on PD for 18 months, and in that time I wasnt getting the best clearances
After I got the transplant, the nerves came back, and my feet were fine. It is supposed to improve over time with the nocturnal. I do get less pain now, but the numbness is still there.
Good luck Angie with work. I hope all goes well for you.
... I am still tired all the time but nothing in comparison .. so I will be going back to work .. 5 hrs .. 3 times per week.
