INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

I've tried Chamomile tea and honey.  Still awake.  No milk in the fridge so that's out.  Well, one more time -- maybe I'll sleep.

Sweet dreams to all on this thread.

I'm back as well.  Four more months and I will be finished with aromasin.  I ma so looking forward to a good night's sleep.

  IF ANYONE WAKES UP MAYBE U CAN SMILE--

Hi camillegal hope u feel better today

I'm up at 2AM---have to renew my antibiotics and Dr. says if not beter or the same in 3 days to call she wants to see me. I'll be fine-It's a sinus infection that's it. geeze --she cautious I guess it's good---I took my meds, had some warm milk and here I am. I was answering my e-mail for a while so I got that done anyway. And for some reason I thought it was Friday--my infection is interfering with my mind--hahahaha. No one is here so I uess everyone is ok--and I'm glad--it makes me feel good.

Just in case u wake up====

Cami, cutest kitten pic ever, have some of the kitten I used to have,well the cat grew up yes,and then I got 3 and then I realized it was not good for them to live with the German Shep and well he is the security system so they had to go live with a friend on a farm. They meowed from time I got home so they were making me a little nuts. I can tell the dog to be quiet and he does but the cats they ignored me. All they did was poop and eat so they had to go.

Took half a melatonin and it seems to work better than the whole pill. Getting dizzy and sleepy so gotta get in the sack.

Hi Connie---Wow how come everyone is using it --I haven't tried it but alot of the ladies say it's great/ Hmmmm Don't get it.

My doc suggested I take it as a sleep aid. It is naturally produced in the brain but age and illness drops the natural production.

It is safe to take up 20mg but a much lower dose is all that is normally required. As per told to me by my doctor.



Not sure I would take everything that Dr Oz says as gospel he is after all after ratings.

Oh Lori I am so sorry to hear that your DH has lost his job and insurance......... no wonder you were having a sleepless night.

((((((((Hugs)))))) hoping things can turn around for you.



Love n hugs. Chrissy

Lori, you should have 30 days before the ins is gone. When that happened to us, l made all the appts l could do before ins ended. Get dental, gyn, blood panel, and call for an override on maintenance meds so you can double up on them. Get flu, pneumonia...any vaccines ya'll need. Eye exam. I got post mx bras from a boutique that fitted me. It was so nice and they filed ins for me, i paid (l think) 20%. Which is extremely good for the quality... I still wear two of them and they are now 5 years old. (Never put them in the dryer.) You can use the ins. up until its gone. The employer has to offer COBRA ins but the cost TRIPLES!!!. So sorry, it sucks for both of you, men dont seem as resilient and hes likely going to feel like they kicked him in the nuts. It was hard for me, like a death in the family, expect to grieve. But use every benefit possible. They owe you that.



Chrissy - seems like everything has changed focus to being all about the money. Dr. Oz is too, even though he appears to be trying to help. Im seeing his name and face endorsing all sorts of products.

He did say that age related production dwindled and that was a different issue than the typical over-the-counter user on the melatonin.

I'm up to pee and My eyes are srill sleeping so I'm going to try to o right back to sleep.

I just took my electric blamket out--don't really know if it's cold or me hahaah

I have a med onc appt and a dexa scan tomorrow at SCCA. I am not due for another mamogram until Jan, I think.  

Oct 9 is my sleep study, I admit I am nervous about it. I wonder if I can take anything to get to sleep there? I want them to have the best results but I am pretty sure I need to actually be asleep for the test to show anything.

The sleep Doc told me to remove my bedside chest since I bashed my face into it a few wseeks ago. I am being stubborn because it is so convenient. I am wrong and dumb not to get it out of the way. I have only smashhed into the chest itself once, I usually lauch off the bed perpendicular to the bed and wind up out on the floor. It was really a quirck that I launched off the bottom of the bed parallel to the bed. So I will adjust the area to make it safer. You know I always want to think it won't happen again.  

Laters my sleepy head friends
