Another night that I can't sleep for any length of time. I went to bed @ 10:00

and have wakened 6 times with my longest stretch of sleep lasting spout 75

minutes.

What can one take that will flat out knock oneself out? I know my condition

is worsening due to mu irregular sleep.

HELP!!!!!!!!! Thanks, Kirk.

PS thank God for spell check as it is damn near impossible to type eighth double

vision....especially with nasty body pain, a headache & blurred vision! I

apologize for any difficulty in reading this,

Hi Kirk,

Are you currently taking anything for sleep? I tried a few things & they

didn't work so my aunt suggested an older sleeping pill she takes called

Restriol, I am now taking it & it does help. Not every time but most of the

time. Maybe ask your Dr. about it. I agree that not getting some kind of regular

sleep will send us off the deep end especially when we are already close!

I don't agree about the dying- it sounds to me like you have a couple of kids

that would totally miss you! My X died a couple years ago in a car wreck (he was

no saint-- far from it) our daughter misses him terribly every single day & will

for the rest of her life, she certainly doesn't recall any of the bad stuff &

you know what for all the times I wished him dead I have huge remorse never

thought I could miss him but I do. Shit now I have no where to take her when she

acts like him!!!! Here's the weird part he was a part of his own death. He & an

acquaintance got shit-faced driving 100 + miles per hour missed a turn hit a

tree the driver lived -had 6 DUI's!!

You sound like a great guy & father anytime you post. I know your suffering

our healthcare system is really screwed up as well as a lot of Dr. I just hope

you can find someone to give you what you need before you commit a crime you

will regret :} if your hell bent on it then come on out here when your done I

have a couple names I can give as I'm sure a lot of others do as well! :)

Hang in there!!! I know it's tough. For some damn reason god wants us here (in

pain) otherwise we'd have been gone by now. At times I'm sure in my case Karma

may play a part (2nd paragraph!)

Take Care,

Chris

Thanks for the reply Chris....I was beginning to wonder if I made everyone mad

at me as very few replies were coming in.

I am sorry to hear of you & your daughters' loss, and trust me, I would

never intentionally " end it all " as if there is one single benefit to my

becoming sick, it is that I've become much more involved with my kids than would

have ever been possible when I was always at work, the gym, etc..

I am serious about tearing into this Dr tomorrow though, but I am writing him

a letter to read before I go into a room to see him as a face to face would be

downright ugly with my disposition at the moment. Too bad there are adverse

consequences for giving certain people what they " deserve " . I figure my being in

excruciating pain all weekend (actually since July when it started and

progressed to where it is) was acceptable to him so his excruciating pain for a

while would be perfectly fine by me.

I have to lay down again as my head is ****** rocking but will be back up &

check in when my back pain wakes me back up in about 90 minutes or so.

Adios & thanks, Kirk

Kirk,

My RD prescribed me Xanax for both anxiety and to help me sleep. I take 1 mg

sometimes in the morning and 2 at night. I think it helps me to sleep a lot

better than lunesta or Ambein. Hope you start to feel better and don't do

anything you might regret. Maybe try thinking about your son knocking the piss

out of the opposing team while your at the Doctor.

later, Brett

LOL...my son did knock the hell out of a few kids today (took tow out..and

even though I hate to see a kid get hurt it happens.....unfortunately we still

lost 12-0) but 1/2 of our team seemed " star struck " and didn't play worth a

damn. I'm still thrilled for these little guys, many of whom still don't really

understand the difference between offense & defense. My son wound up with 16

tackles, 3 forced fumbles & 1 fumble recovery....so I'm ecstatic about that.

Now to the real reason for writing. I've tried a few different sleep meds,

therapies, etc all with little to no success. I have a CPAP that I don't even

wear any longer as I wore it every night for 10 weeks straight yet I still kept

waking up every few hours.....due to pain. I've had Ambien and a few others and

though I will admit they kept me asleep for 4 or 5 hours MAX, my wife states I'd

still be screaming and moaning all night, even when I was snoring.

The pain I feel at night is incomprehensible. I have no idea how to explain

it at all, it just has been waking me up for over a year now. It even happened

many times in the " resort " but the nurses would either wake me up to see what

was wrong or leave me be....seems no one including the Dr's thought it important

enough to investigate further.

Later, Kirk..........see, told you I'd be back up in 90 minutes or so and

even though I took another roxicodone & valium & Naproxen I will be awake inside

of 2 hours again, and again until I eventually have to get up for the day

feeling like I haven't slept at all.

((((Kirk))))) no I'm not mad at you. I feel your pain and can really

understand where you are coming from. I'm sorry that I've not responded sooner,

but

I'm really going through it too right now.

All I can say is give the doctor hell and I hope they give you what you need

to reduce the pain. I'm with you all the way. It's just hard to sit up and

type right now.

Hang in there buddy!

Much love,

Terry
