FEEL MUCH BETTER!
I GOT MORE SLEEP LAST NIGHT, I WENT ON TO SLEEP WITH ONE AMBIEN & A MUSCLE RELAXER AND USUALLY THAT DOESN'T WORK VERY WELL. I HAVE BEEN TAKING AMBIEN FOR 4 WEEKS AND MY BODY HAS ADJUSTED TO IT. BUT LAST NIGHT I WENT ON TO SLEEP. I WAS SO HAPPY. THE ONE THING I DID DO WAS TAKE MY COMPUTER OUT OF MY DEN WHERE I SIT NEXT TO IT WHILE WATCHING TV, BECAUSE I WORK ON THERE & IF SOMEONE NEEDS ME I WANT IT NEAR ME. ITS A LAPTOP, AND I THINK THE COMPUTER WAS CAUSING ME TO STAY UP MORE. ITS A DISTRACTION. I PUT IT IN ANOTHER ROOM, AND SO FAR SO GOOD. INCONVENIENT BUT WORTH IT. I HAVE A CHRONIC SINUS PROBLEM WITH SWOLLEN NASAL PASSAGES, I JUST FINISHED A COURSE OF ANTIBIOTICS & A MEDROL PACK & THE SWELLING IS WORSE. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY ARE SO SWOLLEN BUT THEY HURT. THE INSIDE OF MY NOSE IS WHITE, NOT MUCUS BUT THE SKIN. VERY ODD. IF I CAN'T BEAT THE SINUSITIS I THINK I WILL BE JUST FINE. I HAVE BEEN BATTLING IT FOR WEEKS, BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T SLEEP YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS SUPRESSED AND MY BODY HASN'T HAD TIME TO HEAL THE SINUSES FROM LACK OF SLEEP. IT'S 4 AM NOW & I WOKE RIGHT UP. I WASHED DISHES, AND FIXED ME A CUP OF JAVA. I FEEL PRETTY GOOD RIGHT NOW. I HOPE THIS DAY IS A BRIGHT ONE. ITS SO PRETTY HERE, I LIVE IN ALABAMA AND ITS IN THE LOW 80'S, AND FALL IS COMING SO QUICK. I LOVE IT.

I am so glad you got some rest...finally. I was wondering if myou have ever heard of a nedi or netti pot for you chronic sinus issues. My husband uses one and is a changed man due to it and sleeping much b etter. It has helped him and me with his snoring as well. Plus he would get awful infections from the ocean when he would get water up his nose and he would netti pot his sinuses and now he doesn\'t get infections. You MUST try it. Also I have heard of some fibromyalgia studies out now and since you are limited to what you can take I was thinking maybe you could see if they had a study that might be able to help you. Have you ever heard or looked into one before. Sometimes they pay you as well and give you free medical treatments and exams and stuff. Well just thinking out loud but maybe think about it.

Thank you for your caring about my situation. Yes I have a Netti Pot & I use it sometimes, but the water gets into my ears & I hate that so that is why I do not use it as much. Did it help with the swelling inside the nose? How often did he use it daily? I was once involved in a fibro study 12 years ago but nothing came of it, I haven\'t looked recently but I have thought about it. Technology is so advance now, surely there are new things now. I had also joined a fibromyalgia clinic & was doing good but they up & moved their office 100\'s of miles away from me so where I live we don\'t have another one. Once I get through this Sinus problem I will call about another study. I live in Birmingham, Alabama. Right now if I can get my Sinuses better I would be so happy. So please write back about the netti pot. Did he use distilled warm water inside it? There has to be a reason for all the swelling inside. All inside my nose It is swollen shut this morning. And I have lost my voice. So I have got to be coming in contact with something to have this happen or just a virus. I don\'t know. Just want to get better. Thank you again. Pamm
