RE: Advice on staying asleep - more

Also, regarding getting to sleep, I find Benadryl (an antihistimine) will make

me very sleepy. The same ingredient is also found in Tylenol's " Simply Sleep "

over-the-counter pills. Trouble is, you WILL feel groggy in the morning, but it

wears off by mid morning usually.

Hi Nancie,

> also- acupuncture,

It may come to that. My doc put me on trazadone and melatonin before bedtime. So

far, so

good. I actually dreamed last night. In that dream, I started taking isocort.

Maybe I should try

that too.

> white noise also works.

Does my wife's snoring count? ;-)

I would wear earplugs, but somebody has to be able to hear the alarm clock.

Thanks,

Hi Diane,

We buy benadryl in the *economy* size because my wife has

terrible allergies. I have used it for sleep but I am trying very hard

to stay away from it because it seriously impedes my ability to

work out in the morning. The stuff gives me quite a hangover.

It is very good for those nights where nothing else works.

Thanks,

-Mike %^)

thyroid meds. oh wait......drug kickbacks

Also, if you just use it those nights " nothing else works " , you don't build up a

resistance to it, thereby lessening its effect for later " hard to get to sleep "

nights.

Granted, if you do take it to get to sleep, plan to have a leisurely next

morning, if you can.

I agree with you...

> give your wife thyroid meds too.

She started on Armour Friday! She is definitely showing signs of life. I was

really beginning

to miss her. For the last couple of months, it has been hard to find where the

couch stops

and she starts. We actually got out this weekend and saw the sun TOGETHER!

Armour ROCKS! Well, what ever thyroid med works for you-ROCKS!
