Guest guest Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Hi Welynda, I'm in TN - about an hour east of Nashville and wide awake because I just started a higher dose of Pred. I was so tired earlier I crashed, but now I'm WIDE away and hoping to crash soon. Tomorrow we have a bday party for my Dad and Niece who share a bday of April 10th. What do you have going on in Atl tomorrow? -- Up all night OT Welynda wrote: Hello to anyone who's still up! Edited By Moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hell, I'm up 99% of the time between 1:30 AM & 4:30 AM as I CAN NOT sleep at night for some reason that no one has been able to put a finger on. I've had sleep tests (have sleep apnea but a CPAP does not help at all) and have tried every form of sleeping pill known to man with an awesome failure rate of 100%! The weird part is that I can sleep during the daytime (I try my butt off not to) with no interruptions at will. I'm beyond exhausted as this weekend was opening day of Trout & I was out early Saturday, than took the kids 30 miles out so they could race the BMX bicycles, got home about 10:00 pm.....went to sleep and was up at 1:35 AM!! I took them out again today, went to sleep at 9:00 PM and have been up since 2:20 AM!!!! I've tried forcing myself to stay awake for 40 hours a few times to try and " jump start " my body into staying asleep at night but it never works. I usually wake up after an hour or two. I would really love to know how I can sleep so well between 7:00 AM throughout the day, but almost never at night.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Kirk I have had horrible sleep problems all my life. I could tell ya this or that to do, but when the body is off..it is off! You may be sensitive to change in light. Elevil is a pain killer/old antidepressant that worked for me, till my bladder gave me problems. I think it is hard but try not to fight it. Find something to read or write to us at night. Sleep when you can. ( I know interferes with family life).. I have sympathy for ya I dispise loathe and detest sleep problems. So very painful and sickening. Its like the body has a mind of its own UGH Write more to us if it continues. I will send sleep vibes to ya tonight Hugs Liz **************It's Tax Time!

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 hi kirk, have you ever tried meds that help you sleep but aren't meant for sleeping.. like clonazapam, topomaz, zanaflex, trazadone those are a few that I can think of that have knocked me out.... just curious... anyway... the first three I take in combo for trigeminal neuralgia and muscle pain. The last one my husband uses and he's out for the coun't but it really isn't a sleeping pill.... I just wondered if you have tried any of these and if they have worked. good luck with the continued battle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
