Tell me your Insomnia cures

[JuiceBox52]

You really shouldn't do that, you know. You want to look as terrible as possible so the doctors and nurses will feel sorry for you.

Yep! That’s what I usually do. The problem was I wasn’t planning to go to the hospital I was out to dinner with the in-laws and lost consciousness

Wishing the best for you. Sounds like the cardiac issues are pretty significant, that would definitely cause some stress. Hope you get out of the hospital soon.

Thank you friend. Unfortunately I was sent home without treatment, but my neurologist did prescribe sleeping pills

A pretty & talented gal... It was good to see your "go fund me" link in your signature... I'd recommend bolding & increasing the font size for the link, maybe change the color of the font, to help call attention to it...

Thank you! I will do that. Great advice.

Well, if you're going to pass out, at least you looked good doing it.

Good grief gal I really don't know how you do it, putting a smile on your face when by right you could be an absolute misery. You put us all to shame Guis...I'll stop moaning about my back now! Please tell me you're getting a decent night's kip now??

My issues don’t make yours less valid! You still have every right to complain

My neurologist prescribed me some heavy duty sleeping pills which have helped me get a good 2-3 hours each night which is better than before. Unfortunately with my pain and heart issues worsening, and now some idiopathic brain swelling that’s been making me near manic sleep isn’t easy to come by

2-3 hours is less sleep than I was getting with newborn babies, I'm not surprised that your brain is swelling! You must be shattered, take it easy my lovely and rest when you can

We’ve now most likely discovered the cause of the brain swelling. It seems it’s been there all along, an autoimmune encephalitis. PANDAS. Hopefully taking some streptococcinum pills will bring it down. This explains a lot of symptoms from years ago until now!

Too bad it took so long to diagnosis it.

Still not sleeping a ton. The ambien is helping a little though. I spend some time this morning in v-fib, my heart is really starting to make me frustrated. Cardiologist is a little worried

 

[JuiceBox52]

Not 100% official yet but my medical team highly suspects I’m in stage 4 heart failure. No wonder I can’t sleep
