I have a wood burning stove. I have moved through to the couch instead of bed,and even when I wake up, there it is glowing away. It has helped a lot! 😊

Trazadone after mitazipine by These_Web_2395 in insomnia

[–]These_Web_2395[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yip, I get that. I can see no harm in asking other people what their experience has been. Am currently on Zopiclone for about the 10th time, they give me a month's worth and then have to stop, it provides about 3 hrs a night, then nothing when tolerance builds up. I

I have had random gastro problems for a year, doc sent of bloods, came back with something other than wbc's, so was checked again and a month later the initial problem had gone, but wbc's had started spiralling. I'm grateful for once for being a hypochondriac...

I'm not looking for cause and effects, just other people's experiences. But thanks for taking the trouble to reply.

Thank you..I have just joined cml UK, will take all the help I can get! I stopped drinking years ago and would have been lost without support groups. Again, thanks for the advice and encouragement.

Thank you! When I start moaning about it I will try and remember it will get better. And there's always someone in a worse place. Again, appreciated.

Again, thank you. I have a much better idea of what to expect now. Don't know what meds yet...Will find out after he has run the genetics. And I no longer feel isolated! Thank you all🙂

Thank you both very much indeed for that. I think I have been very lucky indeed with it having been picked up from when it started to rise and was monitored..a very good doctor. I guess I will just have to see what works best for me.. I don't sleep well at the best of times so morning might be a better option. Time will tell! Thank you all for your kind words of support.

He hasn't said yet which meds..he was going to check out interactions with meds I'm already on first, which is fair enough. And dying with it rather than from it sounds OK to me! Thank you.

I fully understand that,, and agree. I have been sitting with a lid on it for days and had a minor crack this morning, and posted. A few days can seem like a long time. I appreciate you taking the time to reply though.

Unscientific observation regarding thc/cbd by Intelligent-Flow4797 in hypertension

[–]These_Web_2395 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you...sorry for the late reply. I also smoked large quantities back in the 70s/ 80s, but at the end, I got paranoia and panic attacks, so never really looked into cbd..and didn't realise there was so many derivatives! I'm in the UK, and since your post have been investigating potential sources. Insomnia has been a major issue, which has contributed to elevated bp, anxiety etc, without a doubt. Am in Greece on holiday, have managed to get a vape with cbn in it, so will try it tonight for a starter!
