Mystery illness brings on vivid dreams? Sounds like a launching-off
point for a horror/suspense novel.

My neighbor just mentioned having some virus that has made her very tired for
a couple of weeks already. Did yours start with swollen lymph nodes in yours
throat, chills, and a headache? (I have those today).

I had a headache yesterday and I have a bit of a sore throat but
otherwise, I am just tired. I am currently drinking a pop in the hopes
that the sugar high will keep me going until my work day is over.

I've been tired alot lately but that's mostly cuz I've been working with
little sleep. Last night, at 3am, the sheriff called me. Seems they captured
a stolen vehicle bearing my license plate. I ran outside to confirm and sure
enough my front plate was missing. They gave me the report #'s for both the
stolen plate and the stolen SUV(just in case, heh.) I've not had time today
to make the trek over to the vehicle registration agency, though...
The crook that stole my plate obviously had a vehicle of same make to use my
plate on so that kind of bothers me but what bothers me more is that the phone
woke my kids and wife so I didn't get back to bed right away.

IBB- I've just been having a bit of trouble falling asleep the last few
nights. Last night was just weird and I ended up on the couch so as not
to wreck not only my sleeping but the hubby's. Hopefully tonight will be
better.

re #83 why not a good idea? There's nothing wrong with benedryl or
other over the counter sleeping pills. sometimes we all need a little
pharmaceutical assistance ya know :)

Benadryl can probably cause dependence, like other drugs.

I have been taking Benadryl off and on for decades for allergies with no
problems with dependency. I only take any allergy med when I am having a
reaction and switch types every bottle or three depending on which one I am
currently taking and how bad the reaction is. During pollen season and the
start of heating season I can need them every 4-6 hrs, other time of the year
I can go several weeks without anything. Unfortunately, none of them seem
to cause drozziness for me.

One benadryl put me to sleep for 4 hours, in the mid afternoon. Perhaps you
have become habituated to it by now. What about heating season bothers you,
dust from the heating vents? I think you can have them steam cleaned.

Only the start of heating season, everything that has been sitting in the
vents over the summer get kicked out causing breathing problems. After a
couple of weeks it is either all kicked out or I have acclimatized. I have
never met an OTC drug that made me feel the least bit sleepy, including OTC
sleeping pills. Very few Rx drugs do either. Vicadin did the first pill I
took, but has not done so since. I have come awake during surgery before
because I metabolise drugs faster than expected and need more than is usual.
I just had a root canal done, the Dr gave me twice the normal dose of local
anesthetic before she started and it wasn't enough. Different people react
in different ways.

I suppose Benedryl might cause a psychological dependance like any other
substance could but it is not psysically addictive. I like it because it
not only helps me sleep, it helps with my year round allergy problems.
As much as I hate to admit it, I think I might be allergic to dogs.

My stepdaughter didn't get much relief from her nerve block. She has
another one scheduled for Thursday. If the nerve blocks aren't helping,
they will try something different. If they did help, I guess she would
go in once per week for a long time.

Or maybe Anne isn't sleeping well b/c she drinks too much diet pepsi
before bedtime, resulting in too much caffiene in the system. You
might sleep better if you adopt a rule to not drink any diet pepsi
after dinner.

re resp:84 I would rather not take Benadryl- because I already take a 2x
a day prescribed allergy medication. So I don't want to add an
additional antihistimine on top of that.
Plus, I don't tend to sleep 8 hours at a stretch- usually it's around 6
(with a 1.5 hour nap in the evening)- yes I have a strange sleep
schedule. Plus given my tendency to do things like turn my alarm of in
my sleep- I don't think a medication that makes me too groggy would be a
good idea for getting to work on time.
And for the record, I don't drink Diet Pepsi after 5 (in other words,
once I get home from work I generally drink just water). Not that
caffeine has ever really affected my sleep patterns before.
re resp:94 Yeah, but I just don't like the taste.

I likes some wines, just something about beer. That and I don't have
enough interest to try to cultivate a liking. ;)

It's an acquired taste, anyway. So many nasty beers, too few good ones.
