I haven't tried melatonin yet. I'm glad to hear it is working so well for you! Like Andi, I believe that when you are sleeping is when your body is healing, recharging and repairing itself. My doctor also told me that when you are tired your pain tolerance is lower i.e. you hurt more. I was dead set against using any narcotics or anything similar when I was diagnosed. I don't know why considering I was taking chemotherapy, which is far more damaging to your body. But at any rate, over the last couple years I have changed my tune. I refuse to suffer any more than I have to. So like Bonnie I take Ativan and get a good nights sleep without dragging in the morning. And if I am in pain, I take a vicodin. But since you are having such good results, I might just give that melatonin a try and see how it does for me.
