My doctor gave me samples of Lunesta 3 mg----- I haven't taken any-----(don't like drugs) but tired of lying awake til the wee hours of the morning.

I've NEVER had sleep problems in my life (until the past 2 years)----

You could have set a bomb off in my room and I wouldn't have woke up ! ! Had no trouble falling asleep, or staying asleep---

I miss those days. :(

You are very welcome :)

You can always google "gluten free drugs" and it is usually the first one that pops up. Its maintained by a pharmacist. No one site is 100% accurate, so use it as a guide. If you find discrepancies or updates, his contact info is listed so please share with him so in turn, he can update it.

This kinda ties into another post about sleep-eating. My doc gave me some Lunesta about a year ago...just some samples...about a weeks worth. I took them and could NOT figure out WHY I would wake up in the morning with the NASTIEST TASTE in my mouth!?!? I told the doc about it and she said that it was the Lunesta...sometimes it causes a whole "the cat pooped in my mouth" nastified taste thing. So anywho--I went ahead and stopped taking it.....but as a sidenote: The week I took the Lunesta, I also noticed that something ELSE was amiss. I had recently bought a brand new HUGE can of mixed nuts from Sam's Club...I was making Chex mix later that week. I have NO recollection of EVER opening that can of nuts....but when I took them out of the cabinet to make the Chex mix...the can was half EMPTY. I quickly took off to the back of the house to yell at my husband for eating all the damned nuts.....but he SWORE that he didn't TOUCH THEM. The only other person in the house was my 2 year old....and I hardly think that she could've gotten out of her room in the middle of the night, climbed to the top of the pantry and grabbed the GINORMOUS can of mixed nuts....all without me knowing.

Anywho---that's my Lunesta experience....I swear that they put LSD in that stuff! :lol:

Well let me tell you about my sleeping pill experience. :lol: I don't take sleeping meds. I was in the hospital 4 years ago to check out my chest pain. Anyway, the first night they gave me a sleeping pill because I was pretty anxious. They were drawing blood samples every 6 hours for 24 hrs to check my cardiac enzymes. When I went to sleep. I slept right through the lab tech coming into my room, putting a tournequet on my arm and sticking a needle in me to draw blood. The only way I knew it happened was when I woke up in the morning, and I had a cotton ball and tape over my vein. This freaked me out. I worked 20 years in hospitals, and I never knew any patient (except those in a coma, or "out to lunch" ) to sleep thru a needle stick. :lol: Needles to say, I'm leary of sleeping pills.

FREAKY!!!!!!!!!! I don't BLAME you for being a little wary! :blink: I've slept thru a shot....but I was on a LOT of morphine...(pancreatitis/gall bladder--ugh). I can take Ambien without any ill effects....I even pop right awake after about 7 hrs....but that Lunesta....that's some freaky stuff. I wonder about that new stuff....it starts with an "R" like rozeram or something like that....? I wonder if that stuff works well.....hmmmm :unsure:

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
