i would seriously ask your dr about benadryl. when we first got dxed in 1997 that is what the dr rxed for sleep. he said it has fewer side effects than anyof the rx meds and is one of the only meds that doesnt cause a "hangover" sort of thing in lots of ppl in the morning. and itis used a lot of times at hospitals to help ppl sleep.
at that time he said up to 200 mgs (that is EIGHT benadryls!) but really 2 works most nights, and except when i am crashed i sleep thru the night on it. i wake up feeling good most fo the time, too. someties i do wake up after 4 hours, and i take 1-2 more then. i get dye free cause the dyes make me itch and break out in little bumps.
another thing that helps me LOTS is the finger holding exercise here in the naturalliving comm http://community.livejournal.com/naturalliving/534099.html
