As someone with undiagnosed-cause(s) for her insomnia, I understand completely. Alas, I wish the gabapentin made me sleepy! Even the Vicodin (for my back pain) doesn't make me sleepy; it wakes me up! (Because the pain is gone.) Luckily, I have a wonderful husband who lets me sleep during days while he works (here in the house) and then I work as I can at night. :)
The back, btw, with which you are somewhat personally familiar (what a way for us to meet! lol - still remember that?) is slowly getting crankier and crankier with degenerative disc disease, but so far the bulging discs haven't entirely prolapsed yet. One of them is on the edge, so we're keeping an eye on it. I'm very lucky that Dartmouth's facility (about 2 hours north of us) has an excellent neurosurgeon, whom I've met -- love her -- in case that does ever happen. In the meantime ... it's back to the chiropractor for me. (Ah, a neurosurgeon who recommends chiropracty -- don't you love it!)
