Morgellons - PUT SLEEP IN THE SEARCH ENGINE READ THEM ALL, THEN CALL ME!
PUT SLEEP IN THE SEARCH ENGINE READ THEM ALL, THEN CALL ME!

As this continues.. I learn more and more.

It's an emotional roller coaster. I get angry.. I get complacent, sad, frustrated, confused, but truth be told... more often than not, I get angry and frustrated for so many reasons. I know that's probably not healthy.. but I can't help it. And it's for so many reasons.. i.e. I'm frustrated that I missed Saturdays call with John... I've missed 2 now (I think) with John.. and had specifically set aside time to make that call, but still missed it.

I won't get into the weeds too much else on why... I think most everyone here can probably relate for their own reasons.

But complacent.. I've heard sleep mentioned on the calls multiple times, and how it affects people etc. I have always thought.. "well.. I don't have that problem.. it doesn't affect me." But as time goes on.. more of the stuff everyone talks about seems to come around in some shape, form or fashion.

It's never been talked about how it affects people.. like specifically. But lately.. my sleep has been so jacked up. I'll go to bed at a normal (for me) time, and wake up mad early. Unable to go back to sleep. Or, I'll wake up early morning and wonder how much sleep I actually got. My sleeping pattern has been so jacked lately, that I can only attribute it to MD. If the specifics of sleep and MD have been spoken about; I wasn't on the call or didn't see the post.

Is this relatable to anyone else?


Somewhat off topic.. but kind of on topic I suppose.

The first time I called Mel I had mentioned that I don't have some of the symptoms people describe. Mel said that everyone is different, and not all symptoms come around. They since have.. to varying degrees. Overall.. I'm better for sure. I don't go through those awful mental fogginess spells that dominated me in Sept/Oct.

I've reread Micaela's post several times.. and can see where I was.. and where she is. Reaching out for stuff to try and fix this.. not yet grinding through. Iike where I was going with that.. just that I can read that post and relate.. like we probably all can.

It's tough keeping your nose to the grindstone... man it's tough.

I'll lay off this.... just wanted others opinions on sleep and what affect it has had on them.

I'll close out with one of my favorite quotes .. even if it's from a questionable character.

"All you have to do is recognize an opportunity." - Meyer Lansky

Morgellons - Sleep

Hi Chrissie and Myles.

Your post was very informative Chrissie. I've always had a hard time sleep. I couldn't get to sleep easily my whole life. Then along came different stressors applied on top and then a toxic disease.

Wow. No way could I sleep when I had to stress and worry about not getting better. I finally realize that sleep is one of the most important things I can do to heal. I'm trying to go to bed earlier, trying to remember that there is hope here and trust that the Lord will keep me safe.

I definitely feel better when I can sleep. Reading and prayer help.

God bless and try not to stress as much as possible.

Blessings
Linda

Morgellons - Sleep

Hi Miles,

Yep I agree absolutely with you that toxic disease sure is a huge emotional roller-coaster. Many of us haven't had an easy life and had many things to deal with, but often I hear people say that this is the most difficult thing they have ever had to deal with. I agree with that 100%.

Yep, that whole sleep conundrum. I wake several times in the night too. And that sense of frustration only makes it a lot worse. At the moment I am trying some ten minute breathing or meditation exercises to try and wind down the body and the mind and specifically the nervous system.

The full moon last week brought me unpleasant crawling and cat scratches re Bartonella , which is a Lyme Co infection. Bartonella and Lyme really affect the nervous system. And then when that happens it's hard to have an off switch for the brain too.

Have you tried some breathing exercises that stimulate the Vagus Nerve and then slow down the automatic nervous system?

Or some gentle music.

Or even some gentle movement like tai chi?


What about some extra Magnifical at night with the magnesium in it, or an epsom salt bath with magnesium sulphate in it to relax the muscles and ease any symptoms and help you to sleep, with added lavender essential oil?

What do you put on your body topically? If you use any lotions you could add lavender and camomile essential oil to be absorbed through the skin and help ease tensions.

An aromatherapy burner with lavender oil may help too.

I think it sure is difficult to navigate it all. And just when we are doing well, it can throw us another curveball to deal with!!!!! But I think that we have to find some small ways to ease the difficulties, by chipping away at the hurdles one by one. And MOST OF ALL BE GENTLE ON OURSELVES . Its not our faults we got sick, we must give ourselves a break!!! We can't change it overnight.... it's a long, slow process. But if we can just find little ways to ease the burdens day by day It will help.

I'm glad you are on the protocol now Miles and that you come to the calls also. I wish you health and I do think that you will have it, in time,

Meanwhile take good care of yourself,
Chrissie
