Sleep and Mouth Sores (or lack thereof)

Posted by sarahafterdiagnosis on July 28, 2005

Still haven’t had a mouth sore, but the migraines are coming fast and furious.

Forgot to mention that yesterday he oncologist wouldn’t give me a prescription for a stronger sleeping pill (I told him the Ambien wasn’t working anymore). He wants me to try melatonin. I bought some, but I’m still gonna grumble and kick the ground and pout. i don’t care about trouble weaning from the meds later; I want to sleep NOW! (that said, I should note that I have no trouble napping, and in fact get a good two-hour nap in every afternoon, but when it’s bedtime, I just lie there thinking about all the things I Really Need To Do until I get up and go do them instead of sleeping).
