Re: Sleep Cycles Disrupted - Chemo

Hi,

I used Resteril when my sleep cycle was disrupted during treatments. Now on occasion I use Tylenol PM. I also had to keep a sleep log to keep me on track.

After my punch press biopsy and needle biopsy (10/2006) I went for days without sleep. My body refused and I had to be hospitalized (given a shot to force sleep for several days straight) This can be a very serious problem-Chemical Interractions-especially if one also has thyroid disease.

Take Care
Tami
