something specific?

I’m new here. My brain doesn’t shut down. I can take all the meds to sleep. Still can’t sleep. I was diagnosed in 2021. Was dealing with Post Concussion Syndrome after a TBI in 2017. Retired now at 46.

New here and was wondering who deals with insomnia and any tips or insight they maygive. Sometimes I just cant sleep other times its due to pain. By the way pain meds are like speed for me

There is a thing called sleep. What is that? That's sounds lovely, can't do this anymore, and people wonder why I don't want to be here anymore!, 😭😥

Anyone else dealing with insomnia?

Hi first time poster here 👋 I suffer with insomnia once or twice a week, which then ruins me the next day.

Today I was at the doctor, complained of insomnia. The doctor refused to give me a prescription for sleeping pills. She prescribed Melatonin. And She said that soon my body would get tired, and I myself would fall asleep. Hope this happens soon

Hey! I was just wondering if insomnia was a problem for any other MSers?! x

I inject Avonex once a week and I used to do it before bedtime and the only side effect I suffered was insomnia so I changed to injecting in the morning and now go to sleep as normal.

What pain killers?

I had my first Ocrevus infusion yesterday. I've been up all night wide awake, I couldn't get a wink of sleep. I have to say, it's much better than the fatigue I've had for months. I think it might be the steroids? My kitchen and bathroom are currently getting replaced and the men arrived at 8am so I...
