I have PTSD and it causes a lot of nightmares. I use Prazosin and it has helped. Not eliminate but help.

I was going to suggest what Thor did.... A medication to help with nightmares.... I know that they're awful..... Gentle hug.... I hope that you have some relief soon....xo

Sadly I can relate to what you’re going through. I had some success with sleep relaxation vids on YouTube and also white noise ones. I think it’s called ASMR or something similar. There’s also guided meditations for sleep, so you don’t have to listen to your own thoughts. I hope you find something that works for you.

I also suffer from really bad nightmares and have a hard time trying to sleep. My Tdoc has me write out every detail of each dream and identify what is different from the real events. He also has me change the dream in writing trying to change the way my brain thinks at night to change the dreams so their less intrusive. I can’t take Prazosin because of low blood pressure, but you might try it and see if it works for you.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
