Fibromyalgia and Sleep

Sleep disorders are associated with eighty percent of the people with fibromyalgia.  People who suffer with fibromyalgia and have these sleep disorders cannot handle stress and feel tired all the time.  The sleep disorder alpha EEG anomaly is usually associated with fibromyalgia.  Deep sleep is affect by alpha EEG anomaly.  A sudden burst of brain activity from alpha EEG anomaly occurs when the brain should be in a profound sleep.  People suffering from alpha EEG anomaly do not have problems falling asleep but when their brain goes into a deep sleep, it begins to act like that person is awake.  The person starts his day and is totally feeling drained and very fatigued.  Fibromyalgia also causes sleep apena. Sleep apena causes teeth grinding, limb movement during sleep and restless legs syndrome. Sleep apena occurs while people are asleep but sometimes the person wakes up.  Sleep apena causes gaps in breathing which is obstructive sleep apena.  There is also sleep apena which is caused by a defect in the central nervous system.  Central sleep apena from fibromyalgia is where the brain does not tell the lungs to breathe.

Pain in soft tissues such as the muscles, tendons and ligaments in the body is fibromyalgia. Disturbed sleep, musculoskeletal pain and fatigue are the primary symptoms of fibromyalgia. Another sleep disorder from fibromyalgia is UARS – upper airway resistance syndrome.
 
GHB is a medication for fibromyalgia sleep disorders.  There are also over the counter drugs for it.  Always make your doctor aware of what medications you are taking, as many drugs react negatively with each other.
