The cool insomnia club #2

Well Im snowing myself under big time, I cant take anymore, Ambien and Xanax are my best friends tonight

Hope everyone sleeps well tonight

I went to bed around 9:30. I took a Tylenol and fell asleep fairly quickly. I woke up at 2:30 in a massive amount of pain. So much for hoping it will be gone by the morning. I got out of bed 1.5 hours later and I have Growing Pains on now but I’m not paying attention to it.

Well I've gone from getting out of bed for the day at 12:30am to now getting up at 3:30am. I'm quite proud of that

Hope you got some good sleep Christina. I’m in a funk. I still go to bed at the same time but don’t fall asleep till after 4am, then I don’t want to get up in the morning! Dreams, they deserted me. I miss my colors and freedom.

Been up since 2:30 yesterday morning. I had no idea cysts and other similar stuff hurt this badly. I’m trying to figure out if I need to go to the ER in the morning. The immediate care doctor did say to go if it got worse. I haven’t eaten anything but a pack of pop tarts since Tuesday night. I’ve tried a few rounds of antibiotics, a couple doses of Tylenol, and a sitz bath. And barely any relief. Right now the pain is terrible. I think I can take another Tylenol right now though it’s been about 6 hours.

Im sorry your hurting Mountaindewed , I hope you find relief soon.

Well I did sleep.. I kind of think I am just going to snow myself under with Ambien and whatever nightly for a few weeks.. Im just ready to break.

I hope it helps you are due a huge break.

Been up for 37 hours. Not even sleepy. Word.

Well ! I had many days where I got some sleep. Ambien and Xanax slugged sleep but chemical sleep better than no sleep.

I am stopping the ambien now, I need something for when I go 4-5 days with zero sleep

Even Chemically slammed for sleep I still have a few recurring nightmares they come from CSA/PTSD so that stuff will never go away but Id like it to not be almost every single night.. Ughh!

I did have an odd dream about finding a puppy in the middle of the road, which isnt that odd, considering I live in the middle of no where and terrible people drop animals small and large all the time anywhere they can throw them out the door or window....., well I brought it home and my husband insisted it was a ground hog and I kept saying no it was a puppy .. seemed to go on for hours and hours ! oh and the puppy was emerald green

Still just sleeping whenever I can. Was up for 36 hrs when I saw those demons or whatever. Sleep big for me.

I am also sleeping when I can (it is grrrrrr.....)

I've only been sleeping thanks to a benzo. Started a new job and struggling plus I have to get up early to get there.

I need my Xanax to even maybe get sleep or at least let me lay down and rest my body for 4-5 hours ... sucks

Do you like your new job ?

Had one hr. basically of sleep in 38 hrs. Wide awake. No sleep med will make me sleepy, not even Thorazine. Only hi-dose Depakote. Prolly hafta do that manana.

Just am seeing this, so you are still not sleeping?I am so sorry.
I am getting too much sleep....
I am going to take half of my 1 mg of klonipin
to see if that helps with the fatigue and
sleeping so long I think I need to get to
bed sooner, hubby and I get to sleep about 1130 or midnight.
(((HUGS))))) to you my friend. did you go to florida this summer?

Was Steve well enough to go?

We flew and rented a car. that was so
much easier than having to take that 2 day drive.

How are you today? How is steve?

Oh boy this year has been a nightmare..

The end of the Christmas Florida trip Steve started having horrible headaches came and went over a few weeks then in February... Steve sister had a brain bleed , There Mom died of a brain aneurysm. The one Cindy had the neurologist told her can be hereditary so we got a MRI the next day, No sign of a potential problem , but we went to see his neurologist and he walked in and said ok we will get to the migraine issue but first you have 20% brain volume loss .. my heart shattered.. The cognitive issues that hes had for years we and our Doctors thought were from Gabapentin or Lyrica .. No ...So he failed some very basic neuro testing but wanted to get the headaches under control , who can think with migraines .. A month later he did only a very slight bit better .. then covid hit

In March Steve got a lung infection Not covid just typical for severe COPD. Well long story short 6 rounds of different antibiotics based on culture results and he was no better,, Then he just crashed I got him to the ER and had to leave him at the door and drive home alone .he needed insulin in the hospital , came home on Metformin and got worse and worse. He was so confused and starteed yelling at me , this wasnt my husband , got him right in with the Doctor.. Now on Glipizide and doing much better

He hasnt driven since about an hour on the trip home from Florida , we just dont think it is safe yet.

So no trips to Florida because of COVID. we are both high risk, his oldest Son wanted to come , I called our Doctor and they said to follow CDC guidelines ..

Florida testing is taking 7-9 days for results.. If exposed symptoms can appear starting as early as day 2 up to 14 ..SO if they got test and heard 7 days later it was negative they could have been exposed the day after the test . SO it sucks but its not safe for any of the kids to come.

Steve only goes tot he Doctor or hospital, I do all the shopping and every thing is sprayed and wiped down before I bring it in..

I woke up one day and had the most god awful sore throat ever... I was in a panic called the Doctor said if you still have it or a temp in 2 days let us know.. No temp but sore throat , they sent order to hospital for a test and I got my results just over 2 hours later , was negative thank god. Ihad started Metformin 4 days before and we assumed it was the cause.

So Steve has been sick literally ALL year ... Just the other day he was finally able to get out on the mower. I've had to do everything all year , its been hard but I am so glad he is getting better, Still cognitive issues and I hope they go back to the level of before he got lung infection..

So Early Dementia of some kind, The Neurologist isnt in a hurry to label it yet..

Very very rough year !

Im glad you had a nice trip ! Yes flying much better than the drive.

So ................... I plan for a night of ER I have- 24-25 episodes on my DVR. I watch the series over and over and over !

Nammu?????? You around ? Hope your okay

Polibeth ??? Hows the new job going??

I slept last night out of exhaustion. Had a dream I was watching 20-30 preschoolers broken up into pods of 5, there was 4-5 adults. Nobody had masks on. Then we were rounding up the kids to wait for the buses and the other adult in my group leaned forward and felt a girls forehead, she had a fever. I woke up with my heart beating so fast. I finally get a dream and it’s a nightmare about Covid.

Nammu Covid dreams/nightmares YUCKO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Well I have been awake far to many days, But its okay got a big ER fix ! Im sure I will get at least a few hours tonight..

Sleepy happy dreams folks
