I go to bed very early every day, usually at 6PM. I am most comfortable when I lie down and get out of my wheelchair. I usually fall asleep by 7 and I wake up around 10:30 because my legs are on fire. I take off the covers and I lie on top of the blankets until I can take my next dose of Tizanidine and gabapentin and a dose of THC medical marijuana at midnight. The meds put me back to sleep by 12:30. I sleep until about 4:30 when the fire in my legs wakes me up again. I lie on top of the blankets and that makes the pain go away until I take my next pain meds at 6 AM. My legs don’t like to be touched by sheets and a blanket, but I need to be warm, so I try to sleep with covers. Right now, I am lying on top of the blankets and my leg pain is about a 2 on the pain scale. I wear shorts at home all day because my legs are on fire if I try to wear slacks. They can’t stand to be touched by fabrics.
