Hey ranger cant coment of the pain side of things but with my PTSD symptoms sleep is slowy but shorely coming back after two months exposure therapy. I now sleep 4 to 5 hours a night with the help of pills, no pills its 2 to 3 hours i only take them when i know that i will be busy the next day. Other wise its pay TV for me this is probaly no help at all to you at least you know you are no orphan as to no sleep.
