In reply to Why Sleep Better With Less Valium After 37 Years??, posted by Phillipa on January 3, 2009, at 12:57:20
Well, your clinical picture holding onto intracellular mercury from previous amalgams, thyroiditis, and Lyme, certainly throw a monkey wrench into any kind of explanation as to why, what, or how. It just is the way it is. Sleep better on less Valium? Fine, take less valium and sleep better.
As a sidenote, even though benzos do cause sedation, they provide a poor quality of sleep. Maybe you are experiencing an improved quality of sleep that seems foreign because it has been so long since you felt it?
Sent you a babblemail. DMSA and ALA; antibiotics or microbial herbs. Those are your answers, not the endo and not the psych. Those docs of yours can help manage symptoms in the meantime. But as you already know, their results are pitiful and not worth a dime as I see it. You could conceivably be 80% better, feel 20 years younger, in 12 months. But one striking thing has to happen. YOU have to take over the steering wheel. Disease progression needs to be stopped and reversed. It is a different mindset that merely attempting to remedy symptoms. It is actually an easier game than the one you've been in for years.
In the meantime, take less Valium and enjoy a good sleep. :-) Good sleep is not something to worry about, obsess over, or try to explain. Just enjoy it and go with it.
