    My pain by the afternoon and evening is getting more severe. Anything I need to accomplish I have to get done by at least 4 pm.

    Sleep

    I have a lot of trouble with sleeping. I do take Benedryl to help me sleep, but it really isn't helping the second half of the night. I can fall asleep just fine (unless I'm dealing with anxiety) and I sleep for 3-4 hours before waking up to use the bathroom. Then, it will take me sometimes...

    Sound sensitivity?

    I've always been a bit sensitive to very loud noises (music especially). But in the past few months it has really gotten worst and I've been wondering if it could have anything to do with fibro? For example, last night I was sitting with my partner and we were talking, and he wasn't talking...

    Sleep is a major issue with FM patients with restless leg syndrome RLS, teeth grinding and sleep apnea being common culprits. If no particular cause of sleep disturbance can be pinpointed, antidepressants taken in low doses should be given. These are not addictive and have few contraindications...
