It’s been very strange as of late, I had insomnia to where I could go days without sleep and like others have said and I have found to be very true, the more you look for sleep, the less you will find. I had lost my father in-law and my mother, within 5 weeks. Had both knees replaced and lost a job, that I had for over 30 yrs, after that and that is when the no sleep started. Having never had an issue with sleep, I had no idea as to what was going on, so the search started, hours Apon, hours looking for answers that could fit your situation, it was never very hard to find as you could fit anything in to why you are not sleeping. There is a disease, that affects 1 in 20 million people, I have it and that is why I am not sleeping, it got that crazy, Doctor’s were not much help, I would go to see them, and they would just push the pills to make you sleep, and then the anxiety, why, because you are not sleeping haha. At one point, I was taking 100mg Trazodone, 100mg Zoloft, 60mg Cymbalta, just to make sleep happen, boy that was some very bad sleep, if you want to call it that. So I was trying to figure out how I was going to get back to where I was sleeping like before all this happened and went back to my primary care Doctor, I was telling her all that was going on and the answer was your getting older, no matter what I said, which really made me very angry, so I started looking for a new Doc. That night, I just said to myself, that this is crazy and most (not all) don’t care about you, just the money they can make and having the doctor title…. so I stopped taking all the meds (which I DO NOT advise that you do, without talking to your doctor, if they happen to have one that cares) and started looking for reasons why I was having, all these crazy symptoms, besides not sleeping and I must say to also prove my doctor wrong. So after a few blood tests, turns out my B12 was super low, and not sleeping because of anxiety is one of them. so, I got that addressed and I am SLEEPING just like the old days. I have learned so much, the biggest, is not the feed the beast, the lie of you can’t sleep and the fear that goes along with it. I would not wish this on anyone, well maybe a doctor or two…… I really hope you all find the relief that I have found…
