Hi - So sorry to hear about your fall. It really is awful when that

happens. We have so much pain and fatigue anyways, and then when we fall, it

just seems like we aren't going to survive the pain. You need to rest as much

as you can. Try ice or heat along with whatever pain meds you have. Soak in

the tub if you can. If you have epsom salts, add those to the water.

My insurance is not approving Ambien for me right now either. My

psychiatrist said that many plans have decided that these sleep meds should only

be used as needed, so the max you can get for 30 days is 15 pills. I only have

a few left.

Have you ever used benadryl to help with sleep? It's what they use in

Tylenol PM. Also, have you ever tried melatonin? I used it years ago, and then

stopped. But am going to start up on it again since I may not have Ambien

anymore.

Hope this helps some. You're not alone. Take care.
