Sleep is not sleep

Last night got about 5-6 hrs sleep. woke up maybe 14 times. Everytime I turned. stretch legs caused knee pain. Then to turn body strained lower back and neck. Zero arm strength meant I turned full body like an overweight walrus. Add in flu like head and overall aches. Multiply by 14 = a bad night. It is now 5 am. Sometimes if I stand I get temporary relief. But standing up from bed is itself a major effort and I feel weak and unsteady. When will it end. 

Who do I feel like

Closest feeling I get is the character from unbreakable. The one who breaks a lot. This is how it feels. 


First post

Decided to write a blog to document how I am feeling these past months. Also  to help me understand if it is getting better thru using Vit d prescribed by my Doc in Sep. Today this morning lying in bed knowing soon I will need to face getting up and hobbling downstairs. Feel like 90. Although a 90 yr old may be faster   Lower back in pain. Knees hurt like crazy last night. Left arm tingles. Neck hurts. Another day a broken man.
