Doctors are like Dealership Mechanics.  Absolutely zero diagnostic ability.  For cars, just start replacing parts, for doctors prescribe another drug.  At the end of the day, your kidneys will fail due to all the drugs, sad reality.

Good luck today, keep fighting for your rights

I spent a couple hours yesterday trimming trees and running a chipper.  Sweat my ass off and sore as hell at the end of the day.  Slept great even after getting hammered in the afternoon.  *booze overload usually makes me sleep like crap.

I'm consistently in bed by 7pm and up by 5am no matter the day of week.  Days I work hard (physically) I sleep so much better.

 
Stay away from the Melatonin for sleep, its addicting and makes you groggy in the AM.  Try Magnesium glycinate Gummies from Nature Made,  Helps you sleep and gets rid of night time leg cramps.  It gets rid of the anxiety at night too.

I've been taking Hydroxyzine for my sleep issues.  It's just enough to calm my brain and not make me feel like groggy chit the next day. 

 
Magnesium Glycinate is pretty good for sleep and mellows you out.

Benadryl and Melatonin are very bad on your brain they are now finding out after longterm use.

 
Wife had me order "Magnesium Butter", its a cream for insomnia, anxieties and body aches/pains.

She's a week in and likes it better then more pills/vitamins to take.

 
@Mac, sorry to hear this.  unfortunately its a VERY common story.  I hope you get these things figured out sooner rather than later.

They are both classified as antihistamines,

However, Hydroxyzine has more powerful sedative effects, is FDA approved for anxiety/sleep disorders, and RX only.

They are very different.  Benadryl makes me feel like chit.

Won't hurt you to try it.....

Just curious, was it better when Trump was in office ?  Does the VA change policies often due to leadership ? 

All veteran's should be taken care of !

 
CPAP (get used to it.... will save your life).. a little TRT and you'll be golden.

Trust this from someone who does this.

Definitely don’t take ambien. I lived with someone that took it and they would black out often. Me personally I’m anti any drug unless it’s for fun. Look into magnesium bicarbonate. You can make it yourself or by it pre made. It was magic for me and my body. 

 
@Mac and @ANGRYBUTTCRACK

Have you tried that mouth guard for snoring?

I use this one pretty regularly:

Shop Stop Snoring Solutions Guaranteed to Work for You | ZQuiet

It basically positions your lower jaw down and out just a bit...there are 2 different mouth guards, one is more extreme.

This is a cheap and easy way without having a Darth Vadar Mask and all that crap!

I found after getting used to it...which was a couple days...I sleep better with it.

Just a thought.

I've had a CPAP for 15 years.. took me only 3 days to get used to it.... you MUST learn to deal with it,.. it's just air but it's a life saver/game changer.. once you're on it, you'll never let go.

Trust me, works.

 Have you considered therapy? They have CBT-i for sleep disorders. I'm willing to bet you're at a point where it's freaking you out and you get sleep anxiety.. or you've been there for awhile already.. Wouldn't hurt you to get some good advise on sleep hygiene and change a few things about your thought processes.

Be careful with the lunesta, ambien, etc. The gabba drugs will eff you up.. when they quit working, and they do, your insomnia will come back twice as hard.. Use sparingly... 

You may laugh, but look into hallucinogenics.. As crazy as it sounds, they're changing the world when it comes to trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, etc.

I literally cannot sleep without my CPAP machine. Like zero sleep... It's almost like a baby blanket to me now. I have the full mask so I get a lot of air blowing across my lips, nose, face and I'll use that airflow and imagine being out in the middle of the mountains laying on my back with the wind blowing across my face. Relaxes the hell out of me ..
