Nightmares

[Guest guest]

Hi all. I am new to the group but have found ALL of the information posted to

be very useful. I haven't seen a posting yet that covers the subject that I am

looking for guidance on. My 17 year old daughter has had Lyme for 3-4 years.

We are still struggling with treatment and her education. She seems to have a

lot of neuro psych symptoms. Her biggest problem for over a year (besides

lyme) is violent nightmares. Every night. Someone hurting her, beating her

cat, etc. She doesn't wake up screaming, but wakes up shaken and wondering if

it's real or if it could/would happen. She has had trouble getting to sleep and

we tried several sleep aids, but what best works for her is 3 benadryl. So she

takes those every night. She has tried counseling and anti-depressants

(lexapro, prozac, cymbalta) but they seem to create more problems than they

solve.

If anyone has had a similar experience, or can tell me what might be causing

this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Also, how to motivate a teenager who has a chronic illness to look forward/work

towards her future.

Thank you.

Hi ,

My son had awful nightmares in the midst of his Lyme spiral. Often they

involved people violently hurting him, and others watching and not helping.

It was awful and broke my heart, not to mention took away sleep that he so

seriously need to heal. He did have neuro involvement, but I think his

dreams were specific to the fact that we were going from doc to doc, state

to state, and no one was making him better. He was out of school. He missed

his friends. He missed his sports. He was alone. And boy did those dreams

tell that story. He wouldn't wake up screaming either. But shaking. And

disturbed. We did a lot of talking about those dreams ... for a while he

slept on a cot in our room so we could help him get back to sleep. I have to

say that they stopped when he got proper medical help, which makes me think

that for him, it was his subc. Helping him to work through what he was

dealing with instead of the neuro-involvement. I just remember that as a

mom, it was AWFUL and helpful, for it gave me a glimpse into what he was

processing.

Re: [ ] Nightmares

- I haven't posted here in a long time, as my son, now 18, is doing

incredibly well. He was diagnosed at age 10 with Lyme and thankfully,

with Dr. ' help, he's made a full recovery.

Anyway - he had the nightmares and he would sleep walk and talk. He

would wake up, come into our bedroom, and say things like " I'm scared " .

I'd lead him back to bed and let him talk thru his nightmare. The worst

one was, when he was laying back in his bed, he kept asking " am I dead? "

am I in heaven? and the whole time, he's still really asleep. One time,

he came out of his bedroom shaking, and saying things like 'the walls

are melting, what's going on? " very bizzare...

The only thing that truly worked for us was letting him talk through his

nightmare, and getting him calmed down again, then he'd go back to sleep

and be fine for the rest of the night. In the morning, he wouldn't even

remember anything.. it was very distrubing.

I would recommend, if you don't have one already, is a journal for you.

I filled up two notebooks, with thoughts and observations and doctor's

visits. A journal might also help your daughter. I know that, for me,

after writing in the journal, just small things at times, like :

isn't limping today! I could look back and see the improvement that he

was making, one small step at a time. When you live with this disease,

it's hard to see the improvements, unless it's documented. Without

seeing the improvements, it's hard to have hope for the future.

Good luck to you, and God Bless.

Hello all:

My now 18 year old was diagnosed with Lyme (in AL) when she was 10. She was an

AB student one quarter then failing everything the next. She had neuro-cognitive

dysfunction and was diagnosed ADD also. After 5 years of antibiotic treatment

she finally beat it for now. We know that she can develop symptoms again if

exposed. We think her exposure was when a cousin brought a dog to her great

grandmother from North Alabama. The dog was covered in fleas and ticks and had

what appeared to be ringworm patches all over him. The dog was here about a

month when my daughter who was 2 1/2 broke out in ringworms, impetigo, and then

some of the ringworms never got the crusty scabbing on them. She never had bad

dreams but she would go for a long period of time without sleep and then sleep

for almost two days at a time. She played volleyball before it hit her hard and

had to have homebound services. She was doing so well while she was sweating

every day and on the antibiotics. When she quit sweating/raising her body

temperature through the physical activity then she spiraled down so far she had

no energy and slept, headaches, and joint aches. I took her to the high school

JV volleyball coach and we put her to work. She practiced with the team, kept

score, traveled with them and starting sweating again. She started improving

again. She will start college in January with accomodations for the leftover

short term memory deficits and ADD. We are very guarded and know that even the

bite from a mosquito or flea or tick might start the whole process all over.

It's so odd that this subject just came up because I was going to ask

if anyone's children on here had night terrors. I had to treat myself

and my son for congenital Lymes. But my daughter was born negative

because of my treatment (which I had to do the entire pregnancy...

another story). Anyway, after a camping trip at a lake she, at 4

yrs. old, came down with what appeared to be meningitis... high temp,

achy joints, then frozen joints, extreme pain. It was slow building

and took about a month to escalate. The hospital could not find any

bacteria and did test for Lymes, only not quite how a Lyme Spec. would

have done it.

Anyhow, she started having night terrors about a week before we had to

rush her to the hospital. That was over 2 years ago and she still

gets the night terrors but only when she is coming down with

something, sick or really thrown off her schedule and is overly

tired. Wakes up shaking, scared, screaming, tries to crawl out of

bed. She can't remember a thing the next morning, thank God. And

research says it's best not to talk about it the next day. But I

found that since she talks a lot during these that if I hold her close

and talk to her calmly it helps. Very helpful is to try and redirect

her dream. This works best because she can hear me and responds,

although she is totally asleep. So if I tell her to " come home with

me and lay down in bed and go to sleep and that I'm with her and she's

OK " it helps tremendously. I have to repeat it several times until

she has a big yawn. When the big yawn happens I know the terror is

over. weird. But it works.

I figured this out because only once she had a terror that was not so

violent and she was talking about " I want one...only screaming " so I

told her she could have one and it seems to calm her down a bit. So I

told her to " take several, you can have as many as you want " and she

calmed down a lot. This one sounds more like just talking in her

sleep but it was really a night terror. This was when I found out

that she could actually hear me although sometimes she doesn't respond

at first but if you keep repeating it helps I think for them to hear

your voice. It's comforting to know mom or dad is with them when they

are scared.

Also, you might try giving your daughter Melatonin instead of

Benedryl. It's all natural and will definitely help them sleep. Be

careful giving too much to little ones. It will really knock them out

quick. I've only given it to my 6 year old twice but it did keep her

from having a terror on those nights. Like half or a quarter of 1mg.

I crushed it up and put in juice. But they come in chewables too.

For adult size usually 3mg is enough, if it doesn't work take 2 the

next night. It will always work if you take enough. For those who

are used to Ambien it might take more since that drug is so strong.

And everyone I know taking that gets addicted to it, so watch out.

You can ask your doctor first of course, but all my doctors have said

Melatonin is safe for anyone. Too much Benedryl (anti-histamines) can

be very harmful and if it builds up in your system can cause panic

attacks. That happened to my husband.

Good luck,

Suzanne

Hi

Two of my kids had night terrors. One with Lyme and one without.

A solution for them , that occasionally works is , after they have been sleeping

for about 2 hours , go in and wake them up. Make sure they are awake, like give

them a drink or have them go to the bathroom , than have them go back to sleep.

I know it's hard to get the kids back to sleep, but it is much better , in my

opinion, than being up with  them all night long screaming.

My daughte's were very severe, and this was what I learned from the

psychiatrist.

Hugs

My daughter had nightmares long before we knew she had Lyme.  I used to take

" monster spray " (vanilla and water) and spritz under the bed, in the closet etc.

to de-monster the room and that helped.

As for the terrors, she actually had them in the daytime -- suddenly seize up

and start screaming, flailing, thrashing around, and I would hold her really

tight and rock her until the fit passed -- then she would fall into a really

deep sleep and sleep for several hours usually.

It was quite scary and, of course, the doctors just told me it was " an

interesting strange thing " that they couldn't explain.

Hello ,

Somewhere, sometime, a wise person wrote " the sins of the fathers are

visited unto the fourth generation " . We now know, through the works of

Ainsworth, Main, Schore, etc., that early childhood failures in

self-regulation and attachment are perpetuated in reactive styles over at

least three generations.

It seems to be the case that many people, families, and even communities

spend their lives reacting to the deceit and devastation around them by

either an automatic sympathetic display (fight or flight) or an automatic

parasympathetic display (dissociation and withdrawal). In both cases the

blood leaves the evolutionarily new prefrontal cortices and withdraws to

power primal ritualized reactions such as are seen every day on the

freeways, in the malls, in schools, and even in professional life. With such

an effective denial of reality in waking life - who needs nightmares?

Keeping the frontal executive functions active through HEG training is a

first step in resolving this all-too-common scenario. The spill-over often

shows in dreams. This is usually a time to celebrate the re-awakening of

valid perception and support maturation - not to find a way to suppress the

subconscious.

Nightmares

Hi,

I just starting training my family using HEG, but my 12 year daughter and

wife are getting intense nightmares. The nightmares are about people dying,

even themselves.

Is there something I need to do differently? What is causing the nightmares

in some and not others?

Thanks,
