Sleep Interrupted


For months, I've been weak and in intense pain that makes sleep difficult.  

Combining multiple sclerosis nerve damage with old injuries creates some novel pain and restless leg syndrome limits sleep and causes a kind of bone numbing exhaustion.  

MS requires rest and sleep or you will suffer more than need be.  So you see the frustration it can cause having sleep interrupted.  

Generally, talking about ms is pointless because there are no effective treatments, it sounds like whining and complaining to try explaining what symptoms accrue with a chronic, progressive disease with no cure.  

It gets depressing to talk about and I grew up wanting to be strong so being sick is a form of failure.
