It's been a while since I've posted - I've been lurking though

When I did the 3 day IVSM extravaganza, I couldn't sleep at all starting the day after the last infusion and was so scared to take a sleep med. Finally after realizing I had to get back to work eventually, the doc prescribed Ambien CR. I was so scared of being "knocked out" by something but my friend assured me I'd be fine. She asked her doc, "Will I wake up if there's a fire?" and since he assured her she would, she felt better. I thought that was a great question to ask!

I had no problems with the Ambien CR but of course everyone's different. My yearly MRI is coming up and I know that if I'm encouraged to go on steroids again due to MRI findings, I'll definitely ask for the Ambien Rx to be renewed.

I'm only into my 2nd year of this so at this point the symptoms don't match the MRIs so I'm given meds based on the MRI alone..I know - it's strange.

Stay well everyone!
