Robin,
I can really empathize with you about pain & sleepless
nights. Nights are just plain miserable for me, too.
Sleeping pills don't help me sleep only make me rum-
dum! Dr. prescribed me oxycodone 5mg., they make me
nauseous & I even vomited two different nights when I
took them, so I'm leary of them, the cure is almost as
bad as the cause. Wish I could do something to cheer
you up. Please hang in there.
Take Care,
Rita in AZ
