Actually I am not doing well right now. Most meds make me sick. Last week we discovered that the hydrocodone is now toxic for me. My pharmacist said this can become toxic, so to take one tylenol to see which is causing the headache, nausea and dizziness. I did, and the tylenol is not doing anything bad for me, only some slight dizziness. So tomorrow I call the doctor. Not much is left for me to take. Lots of pain all over my body today, so will move around some, make beds, etc., and then rest a little. Tried to back support belt that helps when it is my low back. But mostly all over pain, moving from one place to another. Many people suffer, so I can do it if I have to.

I have heard bad things about using benedryl for sleep. I have severe osteoporosis and I follow that list and recently learned that melatonin is effective in treating bone loss. It actually stimulates bone growth. I was skeptical of its sleep inducing benefits as I had tried it years ago for that. The first night I took it an hour before bedtime and I fell asleep and did not wake up all night. I am going to keep using it for the osteoporosis and although I don't always need help sleeping I usually cannot sleep through the night. I would encourage anyone to try melatonin for sleep in place of benedryl.
