Had another bad night ,I don`t know why I keep waking up having the nightmare about my wreck.It has been 15 years since it happened and I thought that I had put it behind me,but it keeps comming back.All that I would like is for it to go away so I can get some sleep.I am not a very nice person to be around when I don`t get enough sleep.I get very short with people when I am tired and little thing bug the heck out of me.I dosen`t help that my doc is new to me and she is trying but I get impatient with her not keeping me informed about what is going on.She had her office call the other day and tell me she is working on getting me a referal to a neuro-doc in Lubbock,Tx. but I haven`t heard anything yet.The mess with getting the MRI`s was probably one of the factors in not finding out anything.I guess they think that I don`t know anything about x-ray`s but I used to x-ray for a living and I know that you can`t see the spinal cord with an x-ray.You can look at the bones and pin`s but you can`t see soft tissue with an x-ray.I just don`t know why no one listens when I tell them that I had post surgery MRI`s done the year before we moved and I have copies of them and the reports.I guess they think I don`t know what I`m talking about.I guess I will see what today goes like,talk more later.M.

I\'m so sorry that you are having those horrible nightmares. do you think you are going through some ptsd? is there any meds for that? i have no idea but i think it is worth telling your Dr about.....debbie
Hope you have sweet dreams soon xx
I, too, have been experiencing several nightmares lately. They are really horrible and I wish they would stop. I have been diagnosed with having PTSD, so I guess that accounts for what is happening.
I also have to get at least eight hours of sleep in order to feel good. If that does not happen, heaven help anyone who gets near me. Doctors can be weird creatures and they think they know everything. It sounds as though you are getting the runaround. That is no good either. Sometimes they treat us all as if we do not have any brain cells. Hang in there -- you will be okay! Jim
