Re: Sleepless in New Hampshire

I am so sorry you are having a hard time sleeping. Is there a big weather change

there they may be causing you to flare? It is hot and windy here in SD.

I don't want winter here either! Iwas really cold out this morning then got

really hot humid and windy, The wind still has not calmed down. Do you have

any thing else for your pain you can take? Have you ever tried Lunesta? That

is what I take. It lets me sleep realy well and not feel sedated in the

morning. It is non narcotic I guess. the stuff you are taking does the

opposite to me it would keep me awake. Do you normally take 4 at bedtime?

I take that also it works pretty well for me. I also have Vicodin. Well I hate

to abandon you but I really need to get some rest. I get up a few times in the

nite, I will check on ya. It has been pretty quiet on here tonite. Take care

hun try and get as much rest as you can, when you get your tramadol that should

also help you. I will check on you later or in the morning ok? Sometimes if

you just go lay there and start thinking of that pretend place you all have been

talking about. Plan it out let your mind wander think about what you would do

in that place. day dream I guess is what I call it and relax and alot of times

My mind gets so wrapped up in that I just grift off and do not even remember

falling asleep. Sometimes I even use numbers teach myself to count by 4's then

5's, etc...... you just do not realize how much that wears your mind out. I

try all different kinds of things. Stress tapes. You just have to be creative

and do not panic if you cannot

sleep,if you do that you are done. I have learned the hard way. Listen to me

rambling on you probably think I am a nut case. I swear I am not. I just

learned that I can over come alot of that panic when I could not sleep. Just

plan your pretend place! I think i will do the same and you can tell me about

it tomorrow ok?

Well...get some sleep for the rest of us then ; ) LOL

I actually can't wait for winter...it is dry...no allergies

and everyone else slows down to my pace of life : D

I had a friend's husband that had a bad experience with Lunesta.

He'd drive in his sleep...once almost off a dock.

She'd hide his keys from him at night until the doctor saw him again.

I know everyone has different experiences,

but it's something to keep in mind.

I have Darvocet & Flexeril for night,

but sometimes I end up feeling so good

it is hard to sleep...I love trying to explain this

affliction to those with more closed minds : P

My daughter talked to the P.A. about that today.

Jane,

I have always wondered how the school systems would deal with fibro. All of

my kids are out of school now. But I would think it would be very very

interesting! Sorry, I got sleepy on you two last nite. It had been a really

long day.

Alot of the others would laugh at us as we say things slow down in the winter

where we live. Which they really do and I live in a college town so the

students are back and in the way as usual. But most of the others live in

bigger busier cities that may slow down in winter but our summers even though

they seem busy to us may be slow and boring to them.

I hope your daughter gets through this okay. I think I have actually had this

through my teens. My mothers Aunt was constantly on pain meds mom said she had

to take a pill to get up in the morning and another to go to sleep at nite she

was always hurting. One time in a heated debate about fibro with my mother I

said how do you know Aunt Mildred didn't have this and my Grandma Alice who

eventually died of Alzheimer's. She got quiet then and actually did say your

right no one ever knew what was really wrong with my aunt.

I don't drive after my Lunesta. You mean he would just get the desire to take

off in a car and drive? That's scary! Like you said these meds we are on

affect everyone differently. I take Lyrica and would swear by it for the pain.

But it can make you hungry and gain weight. So there are pros and cons to that

drug also.

Again you are right it is fun to try and explain fibro to someone. They just

sit and look at you like you are a nut case. I am surprised though at the

amount of people that have heard of fibro. My nurse at my GP says she goes on

line and studies info on fibro. You do not hear that often at all. I thanked

her for that. Cripes my rhuemies nurses treat me like crap and he is the

nearist fibro specialist. Sometimes I go in there for my appointments and I

feel like I have to defend myself. That is not right.
