Hello to all,

This is something that has most likely been covered but it seems that it is a never ending battle for some and for myself.
I have terrible trouble sleeping, both getting to sleep and staying that way. I ache quite painfully in my joints and seem to have restless legs at times. My palpitation’s wake me as well.
If anyone has any advice about pain management and sleeping that would be most welcome.

Blessing and metta to all.
Steph S 🙂

Hi StephS,
I know this post is old, but I wanted to let you know what worked for me. I take 100mg of Trazodone before bedtime. It is an old school antidepressant that makes one drowsy. I have trouble with pain too, and use all kinds of pillows, supports, etc. you can also take a muscle relaxant at night only. I have never found any great pain pill.

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
