The Pain Lingers Most Nights

I should’ve already gone crazy by now. Every night, I know it’s coming my way. My only hope is to get to sleep before the pain spirals out of control. This usually requires that I take plenty of nighttime meds and fall asleep quickly.

It’s after 3am and my body is aching so deeply. I’m talking deep into my bones, back and legs. Absolutely, none of it makes sense because I just spent hours in a warm epsom salt bath. Plus, I’m doing really good with my eating and physical regiment. However, I can’t say I’m surprised.

You name it and it can affect my pain levels. Temperature, diet, stress, lying down, standing up, sitting down, not enough walking, too much walking, not enough sleep and too much sleep. I’m gonna battle with some pain everyday, but nights can be downright brutal. It can be very hard to swallow no matter how many rough nights I’ve endured in the past. Hopefully, I will fall asleep soon. 🙏
