Been gone.... so updates.

Hello all

I have been so bad about posting daily. Ugh. Here are some updates on my end.

Sister lives with us right now and so space is limited and this house feels smaller.

Niece will be moving in with us at the end of the month and it keeps getting smaller.

Sister is doing pretty good, her ex is just a booby head and it upsets her a lot.

Son is well. He is back to sleeping at night, thank the heavens. School starts up again soon.

I am doing okay. My allergies had me at the doc the other day. Sore throat and painful ear. Everything is good doc said allergies are really bad right now.

Mom is all healed from surgery and is doing fine!

Dad has been off work for 2 weeks with a hurt arm. He will most likely go back tomorrow.

I have lost 20 pounds in 2 months! Yay! Sleep is still an issue for me, but then when is it not.

Well that is all I can think of right now. Hope to get back on a better schedule and come in at least one time a day from now on. Love and hugs to all.

Sounds like things are going well for you Jess. SFgamerbabe...

I am happy to read that. Keep up the good work. I forgot, did you have a med change that caused the weight loss or have you been dieting? I can't remember. I feel so old. Memory probs.

Jamie, I hope you have a good night!!!

Hugs, Karen...

You said, "Sleep is still an issue for me, but then when is it not."

I take Power to Sleep from the health food store, or from the net.

It's not a sleeping pill from the doctor, but a health food supplement.

I don't consider it addicting, like I think doctor's sleeping pills are, I've heard. If I didn't take it, I just wouldn't go to sleep.

I take it with my anti-dep., and my Lithium for bi-polar, and when I lie down on the bed, 20 minutes later, I'm asleep.

Just taking the other two pills doesn't put me to sleep. It's the Power to Sleep that does it.

Another member of this board mentioned Stillnox, health food store, and said "Alteril" was supposed to be very good for sleep, also a health food store item.

You could further look at these items on the net, or talk to a clerk or look at a chart at the health food store.
