Guest guest Posted March 16, 2000 Report Share Posted March 16, 2000 Judy, I am not sleeping well myself. I have taken a boat-load of meds to knock me out, and you can see wher I am at 2:50AM. What is CPS? I have CFS, Raynauds, IBS,Mitral valve prolapse, GERD, FMS,MPS, and restless leg(all limbs) syndrome. Right now, I am greatly depressed. My mother has about a month left to live. She doesn't know that. She does know that she is having pain and nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and weakness. She does know that her cancer has stopped responding the chemo. Her cancer is inoperable. She did have a hysterectomy 5 yrs. ago, but they didn't get all of the cancer. Her prognosis at that time was for 1 year. My brother and I didn't want her to know the current prognosis, as we didn't want her to totally give up. She already has a living will and has already taken care of the funeral stuff. Her cancer is in her stomach now,and that is what is going to get her. She started running a fever yesterday. I am seeing my doctor in the am, 200 miles away. She does have my brother to check on her. She is still alert and oriented, and can still do some activities of daily living(just slower). WEll I have updated you on my present. I am seeing the FMs doctor tomorrow--oops today. Hugs, PS I taken Ambien 10 mg nightly for sleep. I just have too much on my mind to let the meds work. --- JUDITH MAFFETT wrote: > HI LINDA THANKS FOR GETTING BACK TO ME RE GAU AND > METHADONE. I AM HAVING A TERRIBLE TIME SLEEPING AT > NIGHT.
