Can't sleep [View all]

So sick of this!

Been up until 3-4:00 a.m. several days in a row.

No more help w/the severe spasticity that I have from MS due to a forced taper from meds that HELP. Nothing else they tired (drugs they tried over 25 years again - nothing new!) has helped, just made me a lot worse.

Feet are all curled up. How the hell does one walk on feet like this much less wear a pair of something known as shoes?

I ordered two pairs of cheap slippers that allow me to walk a bit, but not much. Searing pain shooting up and down the legs and sharp pains in my head.

God this shit sucks!

I've tried everything and NOTHING will get me some rest, nothing.
