Aw ty (HUGS) to you as well, I had to have a partial hysterectomy at 24 because of tumors on the uterus,and they found other problems,but I have 1 girl 13...I'm lucky I take zonagran daily that helps..but for how long only God knows b4 I become allergic or immune.. ..oh-well its all good I say it can always be worse..I never feel sorry for myself..I just get up & go on.. whats zonagran?? i take pethidine/demerol, and df118/dihydrocedeine 60mg, and indometacin for pain relief. but most the time it doesnt help. thats all we can do is just get on with it.

does anyone suffer with this?? Last night i had it the worst i ever have, and when i was able to move i went to the bathroom, and my legs gave way on me and i fell straight to the ground and hurt me bum lol. For the people who dont know, sleep paralysis is when you wake up and you cant move,the signals from my brain havnt told my legs or arms or anything to move. im normally able to move after a few minutes but sometimes longer. Im a bit concerned as my legs have never got numb and totally gave way on me before. Does anyone know anything about this? Everyone goes thru paralysis everytime they sleep I believe It's in the REM stage of sleep when it happens. thanks

You just are waking up before the brain allows you to move. Like you said. Now if this didn't happen, everyone would be acting out their dreams. Like most sleepwalkers do. It has only happened to me twice. It was freaky, even though I knew what it was. But there was a couple of seconds where panic set in and I started to freak out. One thing you might try is to make sure you sleep the exact same schedule every night, no staying up or sleeping in. Eventually, the sleep patterns even out and can help reduce things like that.
