Guest guest Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Hi Everybody, Sleeping, and memory problems have been an issue with me. I stopped sleeping my first night after my first decompression in 1990. I wish someone would do research for us. I know many of us suffer from insomnia. I've taken Ambien since it first came out. I think it is causing my really bad memory problems. Since my EEG my primary has started to wean me off muscle relaxants. I'm half way there. I'll suggest cutting me off Ambien next. I know if I don't take it, I don't sleep. I'd rather do that than be the person I am now. I have more bad days than good when it comes to my memory. I'd say I have bad days 3/4 of the time. I've started to keep a journal, and I was shocked at how many bad days I have. Who else has insomnia? I used to talk with a friend in Alaska that had insomnia, but like others on the list, he isn't around anymore. We'd talk in the middle of the night when we couldn't sleep. I look forward to tomorrow, Jeff and I will try to kayak, I hope I remember it! I wish all a calm peaceful night. Kathleen Diagnosed with CM/hydrocephalus 1990, decompression/shunt.
