Thanks so much everyone! And to anyone who thinks I'm just being whiney, go suck a big one.

BTW, a wonderful friend of mine mentioned trying out Amerge or Relpax before bedtime, to see if it'd help me get any sleep instead of waking every F'ing 90min at night. My doc is out of town now till Feb. 2nd, but another doc at the clinic phoned in a script for Relpax.

I'm going to try a 1/2 of one tonight, and will let ya'll know how it went tomorrow.

ETA: I'm sorry I said if anyone thinks I'm whiney to go suck a big one! That's not like me to say in public. Embarrassed

you say you are not worthy??? I believe there is a theological term for that, BULLFEATHERS! ( If that is not theological, maybe it should be Wink

)

You have not reached your respected position on the board by not being there for others. You help keep us going a lot of times when we need it, so don't give me any more of that stuff. When you need help you are not WHINING! When you need help we are here. When we need help you are there. That is the way this thing works. I know it is hard to fathom it sometimes when being hit so badly, but you ARE loved, and you have us behind you.

Now, wipe your eyes, put a big smile on your face, look the beast right in the eye and say, I'm loved and they have my back, so YOU can't win!

Here is a big hug that I would have liked to have given in person, but this is the best I can do right now. Smiley

I'll even throw in a big old sloppy kiss if you don't tell on me! Kiss

PFDAN's coming your way.

Jerry

Thank you everyone for all your love and support!! Kiss

Last night was interesting, but it was WAY better than the last couple weeks of nights! I took 1/2 of the Relpax before bedtime, ended up falling asleep somewhere between 8:15 and 8:30pm. I woke up with a CH at 9:18pm and sucked the O2 until it went away at 9:33pm. Fell back to sleep right away and dreamed I kept waking up with a CH every hour sucking on O2 till I'd fall asleep and then repeat. That sucked, lol. But I did eventually wake with one at 12:23am where I sucked the O2 till it went away at 12:30am. Thank goodness they are going away quickly. I then took the other 1/2 of the Relpax and fell back to sleep until I woke up at 4am. No CH then, but fell asleep again till 5:03am with an attack which I killed again in 8min. I didn't go back to bed, and am still up and doing OK.

I think tonight I'll take the full pill before bedtime and hope I get an even longer stretch of sleep.

All in all I am GLAD I took the advice and called in to have some meds!!!
