When I don't sleep for a while, it makes me really n*...I'm sure this is why you are feeling this way. Then it's hard to sleep cause you feel crappy. Try chewing some gum and rubbing your face with a cold washcloth. When I feel like that, I grab my pillow and a blanket and crash on the sofa. Turn the lights off~nothing but the tv going. I sorta lie down while sitting up...pillow on the arm of the sofa, feet on the coffee table kind of thing. When your eyes feel heavy, just go with it. The n* will go away if you can get some sleep. Try not to focus on not being tired...then you won't sleep. Hope you feel better soon!

Do you have acid reflux? That is what it sounds like to me. I have it pretty bad. I drink water and baking soda and that usually takes care of that problem. Do you have anything you can take for your tummy? It doesn't sound like v* kind of illness to me, it sounds like you have excess acid. I would take an antacid, drink some hot tea and try to relax. I watch tv or my favorite thing to do is listen to my walkman, something comforting. Enya is good for that, or even my bible on cd is good. I know how you feel about the fear, it encompasses you and it really stinks. Night time is not good for that either. I would try to relax, get your head propped up so acid doesn't come up your esophogas (not v*, just acid reflux) and try to do something relaxing so that you'll go to sleep. Oh I feel for you, I really do. I hate this fear. I know if you get a good nights sleep, maybe you'll feel better, you said you hadn't had much the last couple days. Its gonna be ok, try to relax and take your mind off it as much as possible. Hang in there, Janna

Hey glad you are better. I get that in the night time and it sucks. Rolaids really work for it.
