I'm glad you found something to help. Look into EMDR for your PTSD. This was extremely helpful for mine. Have your therapist check into Alpha-Stim, too. This may be something that could be helpful. (I have CP, too along with FM & CF)

If it's Food poisoning, it's usually coming out both ends. Stomach bug - usually one or the other. Be sure to drink plenty of water or Pedialyte if it lasts too many days.

Hopefully you're feeling better soon.

In the meantime check into Alpha-Stim. You need a prescription but insurance should cover it in the UK.

Also puts a crimp on the pill market.

Same difference, friend.

This is the same for the medical device, Alpha-Stim. Because (or at least until recently) any results were only anecdotal, insurance companies have refused to pay for coverage. Yet, the machine works so well that a few years back (during the start of the Opioid crisis), several pharmaceutical companies tried to get the FDA to pull it. Why? Because Alpha-Stim helps to relieve symptoms relating to Insomnia, Anxiety. Depression, and Pain. All the medications in these categories being impacted by one small machine that had it start back in the VA Hospitals around the 70's.

Of course, the Pharmaceutical companies were getting worried. If Opioids were losing their footing, what other big money makers might start going down in a domino effect?

Now that studies are being done, including brain scans that show actual brain changes, Alpha-Stim can start gaining a real foothold as a complementary resource for people who need it.

Good thing you stopped the alcohol. Kinda hard on the body. Glad to hear you're doing well.

And your credentials are????.

You could research Alpha-Stim as an alternative. Yes, it's a prescription, and yes, insurance doesn't cover it, but for what it does and the cumulative effects, it is worth the money. I've used Alpha-Stim for >12 years. I paid for it myself on a fixed income because I knew how important it was for my recovery from my car accident and for the symptoms of my other medical conditions I developed following it. It helped decrease the number of medications I need to take.

Check out Alpha-Stim. It could be a game changer. Or a sleep changer. really. Worth every cent. It's a prescription non invasive small machine that is completely different from what you expect.

You can also check into Alpha-Stim. This little baby works wonders for both pain and insomnia as well as Depression and Anxiety. And its effects are cumulative! It's not a medication and its non invasive. If in the US, it's not covered by insurance but worth every dollar. I'm on a fixed income and on my second one. Wore my 1st one so much I broke a wire. The design has been changed so this can't happen again.

You could check into Alpha-Stim as an alternative. Depending where you live you may need a prescription but shouldn't be hard to obtain. And of course, it's not covered by insurance in the US. But worth every dollar. I'm on my second one.

Check out Alpha-Stim. It's a non medication, non invasive treatment. It even has a cumulative effect. Depending on your country, it may or may not be covered by insurance. But it is worth every dollar. But for the machine and the money saved in drugs/prescriptions.

Check out Alpha-Stim. This is a non medication, non invasive treatment for insomnia. Depending on your country it may or may not be covered by insurance. And the price can vary. But it's worth every dollar.

In the meantime have you tried the 4 count breathing technique? I rarely have insomnia but this works like a charm for me. I sometimes don't even get through the complete 4th cycle before I'm asleep.

Can't imagine why this seems like a surprise.
