ADVICE TO ALL.....Trouble Sleeping can signal serious illnesses
I just realized that in telling my story I missed the most important thing I can and should share with you all:
NEVER TAKE LONGTERM LOSS OF SLEEP FOR GRANTED
I believe that my running to be the wonder woman of the 80's and 90's is directly responsible for my having FMS: professional business owner, charitable and civic organization officer and volunteer, actively raising my daughter as a single parent from her age 2-11 at my dx, 18 now, and being a daughter, sister, friend, being a pleaser who didn't like to let anyone down and took more on my shoulders than the Lord and I could handle.
I believe that the combination of stress upon stress upon my body already just running on adrenaline constantly is what directly caused the sleep disorder, which I believe caused me to have FMS, and the pain and chronic fatigue and cognitive difficulties that I've lived with since age 35/now 41.
FMS is not the only disease/syndrome which could be indicated by constant waking or poor sleep. Some are much more serious and threatening, some are less. See your doctor if you
have trouble sleeping more than occasionally.
Wishing you better health,
Hugs, Judy
