Heart update on Dew's Sleep patterns
I have noticed in the last 2 weeks, while in AZ, my 8 hr sleep is getting smaller ..like 4-5 1/2 hrs at a time. I think this is a good thing as I don't want to have to "catch-up" on pain meds,again!

Some of you may remember the all niter that I have had to pull on 2 occasions while visiting my sis in AZ. My PM doc told me that he was going to increase me from 10 mg x 2 per day, to 30 mg x 2 per day on 5/26/09, which is my next PM appt. The first week on Opana ER was blissful sleep. I needed it so bad.

I have learned to take a hot epsom salt bath before bed. It relaxes me, and my muscles and joints feel so free in the water.

Sweet Dreams to Each of You
Dew
