August 19th, 2010 The Miracle of Sleep

August 19th, 2010



I awaken at 9am, I think that was the time because I drift off again and when I wake again I realize that I slept all night!!! No watching the clock, no counting down the minutes to the next pain pill, no nerve pain hits that jerk my whole body, no waking up from screaming in pain and agony with tears, no ipod games, music or chatting to distract…….nothing, just solid, sound sleep! It is the first time in 4 years that I have slept for 8 hours. I notice I am not stiff from fibro either, Bill says to me “I can’t believe I don’t have to uncurl your fingers!” My body aches and muscles hurt but by 10:30 I am begging Bill to go with me to walk the dogs down Port. Normally at 10:30 I am finally asleep from a restless night and so groggy from pain medications I can’t even answer Bill when he gets in from work. Today, I am up, dressed, refreshed, and not thinking about pain medications at all.


All I can smell and taste today is OZONE! I have a terrible headache and my tummy is off kilter from the added vitamin C I have to take but otherwise alright. Heck, I use to have migraines so bad I couldn’t lift my head for fear of vomiting, and you might as well call me a vampire then too because the light hurt so bad it felt like it was burning a hole in my skull. So, a headache to me is doing better.


Had to give in and take a pain pill for the headache at suppertime…….I hate to but the alternative could send me under the covers and very still. I am sleepy early and head to bed in preparation of Treatment #3 early the next morning.

EEEEEEEEK!!!!!!! I am hit with horrible nerve pain in my foot again and yup, the culprit is a nail……darn that ozone really grows nails fast! I clip it, roll over and don’t wake up until the alarm goes off at 5:00am. 4 ½ hours of sleep, really????? I can not believe that I got another solid nights sleep…….IT IS A MIRACLE!!!
