Falling asleep all the time

Tasha, I hope you get some relief.  I am sorry you are having such a rough time of it.  My Chronic Fatigue seems to worsen this time of year for some reason.  I use Flexeril at night to sleep & also use Melatonin 5mg sublingual.  If I sleep, then all my other symptoms get better.  My pain is less, my fog is better & I can think alot clearer.  Right now I am in a sleep cycle of 10-14 hours per night.  I do wake & go back to sleep several times during the night but for the most part I sleep.  I am awake about 12 hours so I have short days.  I am going to talk to my Dr about some meds I was told about recently:  Adderall for staying awake & Ambien for sleep.  Some say this has really helped them. 

Is it possible for you to sleep without waking?  How do you sleep at night?  

I do have a better quality of life then I had before I was given the meds to help me sleep.  During the winter the quantity of awake time is down but that's the trade off I have taken for now.  I sure hope your pain will lessen.  Soft hugs, Denise

Maybe you should see an immunoligist and see how your immune system is functioning, and if there is any way to boost it? just a thought. Have you had your thyroid function tested? and have you been tested for glandular fever? my first bout of GF i could NOT stay awake. I was also very anemic and needed tranfusions. maybe your doctor could do a full blood panel?
