Doctors don’t like to prescribe sleep meds because they are afraid we will become addicted. We all need sleep to heal. Some nights I get zero sleep then the next day every symptom is worse. It has been 4 1/2 months for me & it feels like eternity. I feel like I am getting much less care than most people on this site. Mayo in Scottsdale needs a long haul program like Rochester & O’Clare. We have nothing here & the doctors don’t know much about long haul here.

I can relate. I'm wearing an antigraphy watch for four more days as part of my sleep study. I have a video appt with my sleep Dr in two weeks. If she isn't willing to prescribe something to help me sleep, I don't know what I'll do. Every day is just a struggle to make it through as my body and mind are totally exhausted. I'm don't like to take medications but I'm desperate for sleep and getting my life back to some degree of normal. It's not anxiety keeping me awake as I'm so tired when I go to bed but my body just won't sleep, except for short periods of light sleep.
