I had surgery for Crohn's in 1981, never had the classic symptoms even then. However, now I have constant fatigue, partly because I sleep very poorly, four hours tops. I was on elivil for a while, but my body adapted to it. I never sleep through the night, no matter what sleep aid I try (Ambien, Tylenol PM, Melatonin, Valerian)
This fatigue devastates me, and depression sets in as a result. I try to be an upbeat guy, as I know many people are worse off than myself.
But I would like to not feel so wiped out all day, every day.

Hi Jeff, I haven't read all the replies to your posts, but I sure know how it is to not sleep well, I think I've forgotten what it feels like to get one now. I am taking trazodone which does help me and I take it with a Flexeril. Hope you can get some relief. Lisa (aka Swampy)
