Ruby.... I posted a while ago regarding having the transvaginal mesh and fibro too. I had all the same symptoms as you including the sleep problem. Since my last post, however, the sleep issue has gotten SO SO much worse.

I fell asleep at a dinner for my daughter's birthday. No real warning other than I felt a little tired and then BAM! I was asleep. Didn't even realize it was happening. Happened at the doctor's office while in the waiting room. At all weird and inappropriate times of the day. And then I fell asleep in the middle of the afternoon while DRIVING!!!!

I knew I was getting tired, but saw my turn to my apartment complex just a few blocks away so thought, no problem, almost there. The next thing I knew I was waking up driving on the lawn with my tires hugging the side of the curb. WOW. scary. Doc told me not to drive (of course!!! I'm so lucky I didn't hurt anyone or myself) and they did a sleep study.

All they found is that I'm not getting enough oxygen at night and they've scheduled a pulmonary function test. Weird. The fibro and transvaginal mesh problems have stolen so much from me already. Now driving? Hopefully they can find and fix the problem.

BUT I did some research in my "fibro/myofascial pain syndrome" library and found that shallow breathing is not uncommon in fibro. So that may be all it is. But would probably mean I need oxygen at night. No biggie I guess.

I asked the dr. how this could cause me to suddenly fall asleep in the middle of the day... going from not really tired to instantly tired and going into a forced sleep in a matter of minute and sometimes SECONDS! Thought I was narcoleptic! But sleep study did not indicate that. She said the oxygen deprivation might be causing this but I'm still not convinced.

Also have the weirdest sleep pattern. Some days need three naps. After sleeping 8-10 hours (when pain levels let me do so). Some days can only sleep 2-6 hours and then need no naps the next day.

I wonder if the fibro and the pain are just causing us to become really messed up in our natural sleep cycles and our bodies are reacting by forcing the needed sleep on us? Or we have confused our bodies by having no set schedule because our sleep can be ruled by pain levels. I don't know. But I sure sympathize with you.
