I have been having some really bad insomnia and allot of pain because of my FMS. So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on some things I could do.

To much stress in your life.When was the last time you had a hot bath, ate a piece of good dark chocolate, lay in bed during a daytime, watched a good comedy movie, walked in fresh air?I do this and much more to avoid these problems.Take care of yourself.

I haven't taken a bath in years due to the fact our tubs too small,I haven't eaten dark chocolate in weeks,I lay in my bed almost all the time,I haven't watch a comedy lately, and I do go outside but i don't really go for a walk,its been to cold lately.

So, you can't watch movies because your eyes hurt and you don't wanna go outside because it's cold.Ok then.What if you listen to good music(not rock or hip hop), but a soothing melodies or sounds of nature?Could you lit a perfume candle, close your eyes and have a short meditation?

try a full body massage or Yoga. A self facial massage after a warm bath might also help. When I can't do either I read an easy book , the part with a dragging story until fall i sleep.

If I could afford a massage i would get one,yoga I have never tried. I would take a bath if the tub was big enough. And i don't read too much because reading hurts my eyes after awail.

i don't have fms but i do have insomnia. Maybe because i am a nurse and the schedule of my duty differs. Sometimes im on morning shift then after some time i'll be on graveyard shift. During my dayoff after being on a graveyard shift is the common time that my insomnia attacks.. What i usually do when i am having a hard time to sleep, i blog (my blog is http://glitterminded.blogspot.com) and now im getting hooked here at mylot.
