I'm still having serious sleep problems - the one thing I've really not had any success in dealing with. I’ve tried a few melatonin capsules over the past few days, given to me by a friend who swears by them, and have got two good nights, but the others have been lamentable. Will have to go to the docs to talk it through again; I’d like to find a solution which doesn’t require me to take any more pills.
I’m really pleased at how I’ve borne up, considering how bad my sleep has been, but it is amazing just how debilitating a lack of sleep can be.
Just off to the docs now, in fact; I’ve been asked to take a new round of tests in preparation for a referral to the local CFS service here.

Hi TiredBoy, sorry to hear that you haven't been sleeping well. I've had a bad few nights myself and am struggling to cope with the demands of work and a 3 and 1/2 year old! I don't think that medication is always the answer though, in my experience, having had M.E. for 12 years, it is often lifestyle changes that make the difference.

Have you tried meditation? I use the Holosync programme which enables you to meditate deeper than a Zen monk and I find that listening to it for half an hour or an hour before bed makes me sleepy.
Here's to a good night's sleep all round
Take care
