Do you live with chronic pain & insomnia (painsomnia)? How do you manage your day-to-day life while dealing with painsomnia? What coping strategies, if any, have you found effective?

Artvigil 150mg isn't usually used to help people sleep. Instead, it's known to wake people up and keep them from getting sleepy during the day. If you're having trouble sleeping, you should talk to a doctor or nurse right away to find out what other treatments are available that will work for your needs and get to the root of your sleep problems.

I have a lot of pain because of dystonia. I have Parkinson's and the dystonia is part of that. I try to take something before I go to bed to relieve the pain a little but often it doesn't last the whole night. When I don't get enough sleep the Parkinson's and the Estonia is much worse. I do better if I can have consistency throughout the week but that is almost impossible.

Hi
For you or anyone following the thread, our sister site on Parkinson's has a good article on dystonia and pain: https://parkinsonsdisease.net/?p=9630 .
Thank you for sharing, I am sure it makes someone else feel they are not the only one experiencing painsomnia, and I hope for some easier nights for you soon. - Liz (Team Member)
