Just a suggestion.
sorry sleep is so hard. I take klonipin to sleep and it usually holds me a good 8 hours. I really cut back my fluid intake this evening, stopped at 7pm to try to limit the number of times that I wake up to go to the bathroom.
sorry you ache all over.
do you know why?

Ache all over, I don't know why. Whenever I don't get enough solid sleep my body aches. Nothing new, though; it's happened since I was a child. I suspect it's some kind of immune response.

I'm so glad the Kpin helps you with sleep. What a blessing. I could take ten of them (seriously) and be perfectly awake. It's ridiculous.
I second bizi on this one. Antihistamines in general seem to knock me out better than anything else out there. Benadryl, Claritin, doesn't matter. That's just me, of course, but it might be worth a shot.

Hope you get a good night's sleep soon.
