Marvin, I can empathize with your trouble. I, too, must be in just the right position to sleep, and even when I find it I know that within 2 to 3 hours I will be awake again. Last night I went to bed at 12:30am(today actually), took at least 30min to go to sleep and was up at 3:30am. I went back to bed at 4:30am and was awake until after 5. Then I got up at 6:30 and stayed up. So, maybe I got almost 4 hours of sleep, in pieces. This was a restful night. Many nights it is much worse. Yesterday my son and I went to the movies. I sat in the theatre for the 2 hours of the movie. I am glad the movie was good. At the end of it, I started to stand up. My legs went into a dystonia mode. My left leg would not straighten to let me stand and my right foot was doing the toe/heel curl. My son was so good to me. He took hold and helped me get to the car. While driving home I had tremors, dystonia, and difficulty driving. My son said he knows now that he must get a license and be my driver. Changes! No more theatre movies. Limited driving. No more long walks along the river (climbing over the rocks). No more good, deep, sound sleeps. No more days without pain and/or discomfort. I am so glad for the computer, the net, and all of you for friends. Thank you for being there. don't forget how to laugh Marling [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]
