| Hiya Everyone,
Welcome as always.
Just in case some of you did not realize this important part of the structure of the protocol, MMS is always taken at night!
There are two reasons for this:
First, to keep MMS away from all other parts of the protocol. This allows each different part of the protocol to maximize its potential!
Second, to help you sleep at night!
Thanks Kathy for your post.
God bless you all, Never give up Hope!
Mel

| The best way I have found for 7 hours sleep is taking MMS at bedtime.I am up to 14 gtts just before I lay down to sleep.I also wash my sheets daily with MMS.In the last week or so,the itching at night has stopped.I feel the MMS is killing the parasites at a much more rapid rate. God Bless you all. | DS

| I forgot to mention a couple other things/meds that have also helped me sleep which may be worth a try. Although they don't directly address itching, they should make you more sleepy and hopefully fall asleep.
Melatonin is a natural supplement you can buy in stores which is used for people who are dealing with normal insomnia or change in a sleep schedule. It is something the body naturally produces and it can be used long-term. I have used it the past few days, and it does seem to help, but you may end up waking a little groggy. I think it has more to do with dosage and having still in high amounts when waking.
I have also heard valerian root is also good for insomnia, but I have never used it.
Back to the medication side of things, there are a couple other types of prescriptions you may be able to try because drowsiness is a desired side effect if taken at night. Tricyclic antidepressants, such as nortiptyline have an 'anticholinergic' effect which suppresses the central nervous system and can cause drowsiness in low doses. Another medication I have tried for pain was Lyrica, and that also has drowsiness as a side effect because it mimics GABA in the brain.
I suggest working with your primary doctor so that your major symptoms can be addressed while you fight the Morgellons with Mel's protocol. I don't believe the meds would have any negative impact on the gains you would normally get on the protocol. A regular sleep pattern is important, especially if you are working a full-time job. | DS

| If pain is a problem for you, ibuprofen or other NSAIDS may help. They also are good for itching caused by inflammation.
If that does not work, you can ,aybe get a doctor to prescribe stronger medications such as weak narcotics or benzodiazepines like Valium. For me,the "Morgellons" in my scalp became so painful last year, that my doctor has prescribed narcotics on an as needed basis. I lost a lot of hair, but as I lost hair, the pain also subsided. However, I still have those nights quite often where I just cannot get comfortable enough with the pain, itching, stinging, etc. and I cannot sleep. On those nights, I have found a half vicodin works very well to put me to sleep, and give me a very restful night.
So, in summary, NSAIDS, benzodiazepines and narcotics (doctor-prescribed) can also help. | LB **

2:01:17 PM | What worked for me to control night-time itching...Someone suggested taking Allegra to cut down itching at night; I was given Benadryl by RN hubby and for past 2 nights, I slept through night and itching stinging subsided. Anyone else try this???
I need more ideas for how to get through the night after 8 p.m., when itching starts!
Here is what I am doing now--second week of symptoms.
1) DO take 1 Bendryl...unless someone can tell me why I shouldn't....
2)Do NOT talk Sulphur shower at night, seems to shake up stuff and make them angry. Best when you can handle it in morning.
3) DO spray on layer of Kleen Green (diluted) all over body, and on sheets, right before going to bed.
3) Lay on towel on top of sheet, and for cover use another towel. No PJs; more air. Of course, as a newbie we may have to get wipe-down cover as others have suggested for entire king bed.
Any ideas on getting restful sleep? | | |
