Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Well, you said it yourself, can't break the routine. You know, I usually take a half an Ambien even if I feel tired out of my mind. I think I'll sleep like a log and lay there looking at the clock. Then, like you said, it's too late to take anything or be a zombie next day. This has worked for me so far, once in awhile the Ambien doesn't even work for a few nights. Take it easy, pretty girl!!!!! Love, /Mi Breaking routine is a NO NO, I worked too late, now it is PAYBACKS Ok, I worked late last night real late. I did not get home until 1 am. Ok so I had to wind down and it was 3 am before I went to sleep. I THOUGHT I would sleep until about noon today..... but NO. My body woke up at it's usual 10 a.m. telling me to get up because I would not go back to sleep. I am also in more pain and my hands are starting to tingle kind of like the time I had my first flare. They go to burning pain this morning and back and forth. Not constant and not like it was with the bad flare a few years ago. But they are warning me....... they are saying " slow down and quit breaking your routine or else " . I took my Lyrica. I will take one extra dose today if I have to in order to make it all day at work again. I am on 75mg twice a day. Hell, one extra pill this one day won't hurt me. WE CANNOT break a routine with this illness. If we do, our bodies pay dearly. It is like I can be very exhausted and my body will just wake up and won't go back to sleep no matter what. If I took medication to go to sleep, then I will have a hard time getting up in a couple of hours to get ready for work. Don't know what the hell I am going to do. The fear of not being able to work is with me everyday. I know that someday this body will tell me " hell NO " ... no matter how hard I try to force it. Thanks for listening, love, Debra V. --------------------------------- You rock. That's why Blockbuster's offering you one month of Blockbuster Total Access, No Cost.
