Guest guest Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Oats also soak up toxins in the gut. Great for detox if you can tolerate them. Iffy for us I think.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Hi R:  Yes I am to the point that I must change what I am doing so I will give the Gluten & Dairy up & at least give it a whirl. Thanks for the tips! Loni From: Jennie Wassenaar <ad-inameritech (DOT) net> Subject: Sleeping Better " EMS " <groups (DOT) com> Received: Tuesday, February 23, 2010, 4:38 AM Greetings, Someone just posted about sleeping so I thought I would send an update on my sleeping issues and what has helped. I had posted last summer a request for help with sleeping - and thanks for the response that were sent. Here is a recap of my story. I've had EMS for a couple of year and last April a cell tower was placed a half mile from my home and " coincidental " I started having sleep problems. As it progressed I started having pains when I would lay on my mattress. I was averaging about 3 hours of sleep a night for about 5 months and even when I took a prescription sleep aid I would only sleep a couple of hours and wake up, wide awake and not able to get back to sleep. Many nights I did not sleep at all - at least once a week. Because of my MCS I knew I could not try a foam mattress. In August I purchased a Select Comfort mattress, and after the off gassing of the new mattress at least when I laid in bed sleepless I was not in pain. The pain was from the metal springs in my regular mattress, Select Comfort mattress use air chambers. In September I read that EMS can decrease the body's Melatonin production. Melatonin is part of the body's sleep cycle. I started taking Melatonin and through a couple of resources and by trial and error have found that taking 6 mg or Melatonin about 2 hours before I want to sleep works well for me. Before starting Melatonin you should read up on how much to take as a dose. 6mg is double the bottles recommended dose. I still do not sleep as much as I should/need (8-9 hour/night) but I usually get at least 7 hours of sleep/night. And if I don't take my meds I usually get a nap in during the day - the kicker is I have narcolepsy! I have had a little more trouble sleeping for the past 10 nights or so, but that is my own fault cause I've been watching the Olympics on TV and usually I only expose myself to the electromagnetic energy from TV during the tennis grand slam tournaments! ! I hope this helps, good luck, Jennie PS - Select Comfort has a program for no interest payment plans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Hey Diane! Â Wow, that is quite the story. It's amazing that you can remember my family situation. Yes that is a big problem because my husband & son (daughter when comes home from college) would never do gluten free. It's hard enough to get them to eat a salad occasionally. Therefore, I have to stair at gluten ridden processed foods in my pantry every day. Makes it really hard. Â I do not have celiac (tested twice) but have the food intolerances to most grains except for rice. I also think gluten free would be best for all human beings IMO. Â I have made the brown rice pasta for the family & they don't like it much but will eat it. I will have to get a cook book & experiment a little to make things tasty. I certainly don't want to make two dinners. Just too much work. Â That's very interesting & wonderful about the area you set up for your hubby. He's got his own MAN CAVE. 's is out in the garage. Spends most of his time out there when he is home. Gear head that he is. is not very accommodating if you remember so that scenario would not work here. Â Family support is sooooo important & something I need more of. But I will do what I need to do regardless. So thanks for your thorough info packed response!
