This might belong in PTSD, not sure.

I became critically ill in late 2005 and wasn't expected to live. It was a long haul to get better and I have some minor residual effects.

Last night I had horrible, horrible dreams about getting that sick again, down to the drs. and hospitals and all that. They were just dream people, not anybody IRL, but the feeling was terrible and every time I tried to wake myself up and then go back to sleep, it started up again.

I am curious whether anyone else who has faced this sort of thing, or even some sort of disability, goes through this, and if so, how do you handle it? It isn't the first time it's happened, but the first time in a long while and I woke up very unsettled and feeling awful.

I'm sorry you had that horrible dream. My nuerologist gave me elavil to take at night. It has almost completely made the night terrors go away.

Hugs,

Jan
