Re: Frustration and Ultram- to Debs

[Guest guest]

Hi Debs,

I am on Clonidine as well. My Endo prescribed this for me for an entirely

different purpose! Isn't that odd? He prescribed it for me to help control the

abnormal night sweating pattern that I have from the diabetes. I, too, was

sweating so much each night that I had to get up two or three times each

night to change into dry clothing. It was wrecking any hint of quality sleep

for

nearly a year and all of my doctors tested for various causes, i.e.; hormone

inbalance, medications, low blood glucose, infections, etc. None could find

the cause until I spoke to my Endo. Since it began when I started taking

insulin, I thought perhaps it had a correlation to the diabetes or the insulin.

My Endo said that some diabetics have an abnormal sweating pattern, and

that the Clonidine might help control that. It has made a significant

improvement, BTW.

Upon checking the drug site, rx.list.com, all I found for Clonidine was that it

was used for hypotension, which I don't have at all. But it has helped me with

the sweating problems, so I continue to take it for that. It's nice to wake up

in

the morning wearing the same thing that I went to bed in...hahaha!

Spring has begun here in the South and I woke this morning with deep

hoarseness in my throat, with throat, nose and eyes congested from my

allergy to the pollen that has invaded us these past few days. It's a catch-22,

we open our windows to let in the fresh, spring air after having everything

closed up all winter, and in comes this heavy pollen that leaves a

yellowy-green film on every surface!!! I'm allergic to this, and azaelia's as

well, so will be hibernating inside for the next month or so until all are

through

blooming.

You must be starting your autumn season? I hope all is well with you, Debs.

Did you already go on your trip or is that coming up soon?

With hope and prayers,

Heidi
