But actually the process of #writing the piece whilst also not getting much sleep at all is much harder! I’m struggling to find the words to explain myself and the experience of #painsomnia in any coherent way at all! I still strive in though and hope I find the words soon!
Currently in the middle of writing a piece on my blog about #ChronicPain and experiencing #painsomnia! As I’m experiencing it a lot lately, so thought it would be easy - having it so fresh in my mind.
“I’m exhausted. I wake up every morning with pain, and often my sleep has been fitful and interrupted. But it’s not just about lack of sleep but the sheer effort it takes to endure the #ChronicPain… I’m not being dramatic… I try hard to keep my head up.” https://buff.ly/Wn6Y3J5 #painsomnia #fatigue

"I haven’t slept in two days, so I guess that contributed to the #meltdown. A small, final trigger was all it took to cause that explosion. & all it takes is a few mean words. Or the tone in speech.": buff.ly/6ypKNUe

Hahaha what's 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep? I don't understand the concept... seems dubious to me! 🤷♀️

“The other unfortunate side effect of being #paingry is that is leads to #painsomnia… Many of us have nights like this and don’t say a word… It is 3 a.m, I’m awake and I’m in pain…the absurd thing is I am exhausted. I want to sleep.” https://cme.sh/7RmPj0 #ChronicPain
When one is struggling, do we give it power by verbalizing it? Some schools of thought say yes, it’s therapeutic. Others say no, do not speak the words into existence. Stoicism versus Psychotherapy. Buddhism - there is no struggling, only your response to it. ‘‘Tis an illusion. #painsomnia ramblings
Woke up about an hour ago and I’m restless. I’m nauseated, I’m in pain, the trouble walking thing is happening again (I hope i’m not getting another migraine 😭😭)
Went to a good meeting tonight, sometimes I do that if I can’t sleep

Had another bout of #chronicpain #painsomnia last night. So I let my brain go off on a tangent. Inspired by @andycruns.bsky.social #findfolkfriday theme of "orange", I did a test of an orange GCPS trooper. I think I will stick with the white though. Orange will make a good colour for squad markings.

ME: Fine. I'll just... go... read an entire book or something
Darkness: SLEEP!!!!

Me with my gray hair in a blue top looking distressed from the pain. Text across my lower face reads PAINSOMNIA A Spoonie coined this term to describe an unholy combination of pain that causes insomnia. It can keep you awake or wake you from a sound sleep.
I woke up last night with severe pain in my left foot. I tore off my lymphedema wrap and realized I was having a gout attack. Diuretics can exacerbate gout. I took Tylenol and was awake for a few hours. I posted this since I was awake anyway. #ChronicLife #painsomnia #gout #Spoonie #chronicpain
So the pure stinky valerian root isn’t working. Trazadone didn’t work. A double Nighty Night Extra by Traditional Medicinals works somewhat but was trying to save $ #painsomnia

Pain-induced insomnia is a common and serious problem for people with migraine, especially during and after an attack. Migraine pain can make it difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep, or feel refreshed after rest. Is this you?
