Hi Cairo,
I appreciate your comments and will take them under advisement.
Fact is I do not react well to antidepressants and so, until now, I have avoided them. I also think the cell receptor resistance theory does hold water. I have taken other medications also and they have the reverse effect of what they should... I take cortisol for example and get sleepy (which should not happen). I hesitate to take antidepressants for sleep since, if the cell receptor theory is in fact correct, I'm just putting off the inevitable and perhaps making it worse. Plus I do not want to have to detox off the things later and have the insomnia come back as I've seen others have to do on this board. I'm through with all of that. I'll go cold turkey if I have to to avoid such things. I have adrenal issues and hypothalamic issues. If you read anything by Jacob Teitelbaum on CFS, you'll find he speaks of endocrine issues...hypothalamic issues with adrenal problems. That's why the body can't regulate temperature (mine can't) and sleep is disturbed. So, yes, there is a physiological reason for sleep disturbance and if you look around on the internet, you'll find references. The only conclusion I've come to is that it's still badly understood and no effective therapies for it except rest and healing.
