Please Pray for me:
My insomnia is at an all time low. Many of you know that I've been dealing with this problem since Addie was five months old. I've run through the whole gammet- visited several doctors, tried different meds, and am now trying to survive with out prescription drugs right now. I'd really like to add on to our family, but that isn't really an option right now b/c I'm completely unable to function like a normal person. For example, to get the two hours of sleep I got last night, I took 1/2 pill of unisom, one melatonin, hot tea with valarian root, magnesium, and a high quality multi-vitamin. Once I woke up at 12 am last night, I took two Benadryl and then the rest of the Unisom later that morning and still never got back to sleep. I'm planning on going to see an endocrinologist to see if I have a hormone imbalance- but don't have my hopes up. I didn't get much help from the Sleep specialist I've been seeing since July. Anyway, to make a long story short, I'm a shell of a person right now...very tired...very scared...and I'd love to know that I'm being prayed for. The night is really lonely, and I don't know how much longer I can take this.

I'm so sorry to hear about your insomnia, Beth. That must be really hard. I will definitely pray for you! Love Addie's costume!
Beth, That is just heart wrenching to hear! I am so sorry that you are suffering like that. If I hear about any tips I will definetly let you know. I know how bad it feels not getting even one good nights sleep, so I can't even imagine this happening all of the time. You are in my thoughts and hope it gets better for you.
Beth, I feel absolutely horrible for you. I can only imagine how lonely the nights are and I really hadn't thought about that aspect of it until you said it. Ben wishes he could trade you sleep problems. His anti-seizure medicine makes him so tired that he can't function during the day without drinking caffeine all day. I will definitely pray for you and tell my family to also.
We've spoke about this before, and I think of you often...especially when Brody was little & I was feeling very sleep deprived. I will continue to pray for you. You look like the picture of health. I wish I had your ability to not get bags under my eyes when I'm tired!
Beth,
I have been praying for you and will continue. Even as "a shell of a person" as you call it, you are amazing! I can barely keep up with you when you have no sleep!
Call me and I will take Adi anytime (seriously!) She and Noah will learn to get along. :)
Love ya!

I will definitely keep you in my prayers. I can imagine how frustrating it is to experience something like that. I agree with everyone else who has commented here...you hide it well!
