Hi Ethel!

Yes, that's the one. I've lived in or around this area almost my

entire life. Yes, the past few weeks have been really bad for me,

also. I've also started to feel it in my hands, which I never did

before. They are calling for a chance of snow flurries here,

tonight. I guess it is Tuesday here, already. I just woke up,

aching and had to take more pain medicine (I'm waiting for it to

work). Zanax... I've heard of that, but I'm not sure what it is.

Is that for your nerves or a muscle relaxer?

Take care. It was so nice to hear from you.

Hugs,

Kristi

Kristi , for me Zanax is a nerve and muscle relaxer , here it is 11:52 PM, i

will take a zanax now and wait an hour then take my Anbien Cr,

the Zanax kind off takes the edge off stress days,and sorts puts the pain

from stress dull down , and at night relaxes me enough to get like 5 1/2

hours sleep ,i know i need more sleep , but my dead hubbie was a drunken

abuser ,

i know it was years ago (1962-1974) but there are still dreams that keep me

from sleep ,

Oh well , ! so goes life ,but i make it through ,don`t we all?

Oh my hasn`t the fast changes in weather been a wild ride , i have to call

Dr. tomorrow for Darvocet , and had to use it more because of weather it`s

like one day i don`t need it then the next more then 1 ,but i don`t over do

, i keep a journal of weather and meds taken when we have changes so he sees

why i use it ,

For me the Xannex, along with a cheapie brand of sleep aid and a good

book puts me to sleep within a reasonable amount of time.

I have a reading light attached to the side of the headboard that

makes it easy to turn off when the sandman comes calling.
