Does anyone take anything to help them sleep at night? I was going to ask my doctor about ambien or lunesta? I have trouble sleeping and usually manage it with over the counter drugs but it might be nice to take a prescription...

childsca I've had insomnia for years. I've tried Benedryl OTC and it works sometimes, but, I personally like Trazadone. It's an old anti-depressant but used in small doses works wonders for insomniacs. It's tried and true. Been around for years. I agree with the...

childsca A lot of people have told me to stay out of it. And I know that it's my husband's issue, not mine...but that's a hard thing to keep in mind when I'm going out to work a second job or going to the food bank to get food. It affects me directly.

So, if you were given a million dollars, what would you do with it? Would you quit your job? Would you invest it? How about donating some or starting a charity? I'm curious to know what people would do with their fortune. (I'd...

Hello my fellow myLotians. I just wanted to let you all know that I OD'd again. This time it was Tylenol PM and not only did I have to drink that gross charcoal drink, I had to get my stomach pumped. I was "with it" for the whole...

childsca I don't think you sound heartless. You sound hurt and numb and that's probably because of the way you were treated. My father tried to commit suicide multiple times and finally I threw my hands up in the air and literally walked away from his life. We can only...

childsca Aren't we all just a work in progress? I think mankind constantly struggles to achieve their goals. Some are successful and some are not. Helping with the homeless can be a goal that progresses a person spiritually, but drugs and alcohol can hinder goals and...

childsca Okay...I'm really probably going to start something here and I truly don't mean to because I know that much of the world is Christian. But, me, personally...I don't believe there is a heaven or hell. I agree with one of the other members that it's something...

childsca I actually make out a 2 week menu for dinners all the time. I have used www.menus4moms.com and the Food Network just to name a few web sites. My daughter thought up a good idea. She recommended we have "dinner around the world" for a couple of weeks. She's...

childsca Hi. : ) Yes I would agree that there are going to be people out there that respond very defensively, but, the thing about the internet is that we don't know each other, really, really know one another, and not only that, but it's hard to get a sense of one's...

childsca I'm not sure how I'd react. I don't think any of us know for sure until it happens. I'm not a religious person but I am very spiritual and I do believe in a higher power, a God. Not sure what God, but some God...and I'm very self-convicted in my beliefs. I...

childsca Hi. I can. It's a long story so I'll try to be short. First of all, the fatigue. Oh my gosh. Overwhelming. The only way I can describe fibromyalgia pain is it feels like you're lying on a bed of marbles, or that feeling you get after you do a serious ab...

Do you or does someone who has responded to your discussions feel you are too personal? I know I'm personal, I like to tell it all, and keep it real. Why? Because maybe one day I hope to meet some of you, and I truly consider my...
