Not only are our general practioners reluctant to prescribe things for pain, that reluctance extends to medication to promote sleep. I have only once succeeded in getting any doctor to prescribe for it, and he refused to issue a repeat script.<br />Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-35656289349209664552015-09-06T03:07:45.049+10:002015-09-06T03:07:45.049+10:00“I suffer from insomnia.”
Loren Eiseley, the writ...“I suffer from insomnia.”<br /><br />Loren Eiseley, the writer I quoted in my next to last post, was a severe insomniac, so much so that he nodded-off throughout the day. I wasn’t an insomniac until I started being in pain, and now my sleep patterns are so messed up that I couldn’t sleep without pills. My main pill for sleep is Ambien, which, along with Neurontin, takes the edge off the pain just enough for me to rest, at least when the pains not too bad. I take 10mgs at bedtime and another five halfway through the night. I don’t like doing this, but when it’s either take a pill or stay away, I don’t see that I have a good choice. I mention it in case it might be useful to you. The good thing about Ambien is that it doesn’t stop working after a week or two.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-52865457843161546992015-09-05T13:42:47.872+10:002015-09-05T13:42:47.872+10:00Vagabonde: I suffer from insomnia.

If I could see dawn like yours and had such beautiful flowers in my yard I might get up by 6:00 am to take a look … but, as it is, I usually go to the computer after my husband goes to bed at 10, then read in bed from midnight to about 2 am, so I rarely see any dawn! But I like to see the reflects of the moon in my room…Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-53811753163220044942015-09-05T08:06:17.633+10:002015-09-05T08:06:17.633+10:00Lynn: He is very good at do as I say and not as I...Lynn: He is very good at do as I say and not as I do.
