Guest guest Posted March 12, 2000 Report Share Posted March 12, 2000 Hi Kim, Peggie here. I smoke and the only thing I have found, is that it helps to soothe my nerves when they get bad!! Not to mention, helps to keep me from eating a lot - and certainly don't need the weight! The cost is the worse part!!!!!

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 I've had a few nights where the pain was just so bad I couldn't sleep. I ended up having my doctor prescribe something to help me sleep. He gave me a script for Trazadone. it's puts me to sleep alright, but the next day I feel like a zombie. Maybe you could talk to your doctor about getting something to help you sleep. As for sleeping on your side, I don't do that very often now, I usually sleep on my back propped up with LOTS of pillows. Kimber -- Kimber Vallejo, CA hominid2@...

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 , thanks for the name of the med. I'll have to bring it up with my doc. Actually, lately I've had no problem falling asleep so I haven't had to take a trazadone. I've found that 1/4 or 1/2 a tablet doesn't give me anywhere near as bad a zombie feeling depending upon how wide awake I am. The doctor did say I'd have to play with the dosage amount to get the right one for me. I'm allowed up to three a dose ( I don't even want to thing what I'd be like with 3 of them.). I'll keep the ambien in mind though if I continue to have problems with the trazadone. Kimber -- Kimber Vallejo, CA hominid2@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have experiemented to see and it happens every time. No more testing me ! I stay on my right side and back. I also learned that if I have pain in the middle of the night, I drink something very cold and then sleep in an upright position. It seems to help a little. And a little is better than nothing !

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 This sort of answers one of my questions. I was going to ask if it was ok for someone with Pancreatitis to take a melatonin supplement. I take trazadone for my Fibromyalgia to help me sleep, and I thought maybe that might help my mom. She gets very little sleep. Mom wanted me to ask if any of you have horrible spine pain, especially when sleeping. Also, are the enzymes that you can buy over the counter, the same as prescription? Will they serve the purpose? Thank you for all your past help. I finally have an appt for my mom with a new doctor who specializes in CP. His name is Dr. Gorelick out of New Haven, CT. She can't get in before the end of March though. In the meantime, she has gone to her PCP, so at least she is getting some help. Thanks again, Lanie , thanks for the name of the med. I'll have to bring it up with my doc. Actually, lately I've had no problem falling asleep so I haven't had to take a trazadone. I've found that 1/4 or 1/2 a tablet doesn't give me anywhere near as bad a zombie feeling depending upon how wide awake I am. The doctor did say I'd have to play with the dosage amount to get the right one for me. I'm allowed up to three a dose ( I don't even want to thing what I'd be like with 3 of them.). I'll keep the ambien in mind though if I continue to have problems with the trazadone. Kimber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
