Thanks for the info. I was on beta seron sub q but I can not inject myself (stupid I know) she was doing that but she is an alcoholic and I finally stopped the beta shots from her. Are you an MD or RN?

She can barely manage her own meds I do not think having her do mine would be very wise. She was an ACLS certified RN till she got thyroid cancer and had a radical neck. 64 lymph nodes removed para thyroid, and thyroid removed. Repair to her jugular and carotid. rebuilt voice box. Pretty massive but it has been 6 years and she is still alive. Rehnquist was operated on for the nearly same thing about 2 months before her by the same surgeon Eugene Myers who most neck surgeons hold him in great esteem.

She still has stage 4 but she is one of the few who is non-avid (?) and the cancer will not show with any great definition so they don't know where it is, but all the other tests show she is stage 4.

I nearly (did) cried when the health care bill passed. Her and I are candidates for death panels if there ever was any we are it.
We both treat mainly at Hershey Med... but I have not had the money to followup for 4 years now. And I do not self medicate all prescriptions where written by a family MD. I am very involved with him about what I am taking though.

I didn't think you self-medicated from sratch. There is a complex relationship with the doctor and patient which is why my mom's GP has experimented with various specialist and generalist doctors to treat her Parkinsons. Obviously Parkinsons has no cure and can only be treated at the symptom level with the meds. But how you take them and how you interact with the doctor makes a measurable difference, sometimes large. So she saw a couple of generalists and one Parkinsons specialist and he evaluated the results to determine further treatment.

Being involved with the MD in treating sleep disorders is probably not a good thing. There are just too many variables that you can overlook when evaluating a medication or you might overweight some variables. You need an objective outside observer, the best kind of observer would not know what the medication is either (double blind). In a way that is the role of my mom's GP. I have no medical training whatsoever so take whatever I say with a grain of salt.
