So, here I am awake at 5 am again...can anyone guess why?

I'm 4 1/2 months along in my pregnancy and flaring...doc has ordered some tests and subscribed some suppositories which I promptly pooped right out after trying to use it last night.

So, after a solid 3 years of diligently trying this and that medicine, I was in remission for about 6 months and then I just -had- to mess it up. I'm thrilled about this baby but not thrilled about how ill it has made me feel.

Yesterday morning I drove my 2 boys to camp. When I returned, my teenage daughter met me at the door upset about who knows what. Then she realized she should get out of my way because I had an accident in the car and I needed to get to my room to clean up. This is not the type of urgency where there is more than 30 seconds of warning, so just sitting at a stop light I went from minding my own business to being totally completely out of control. :eek2:

Does anyone have any practical advice for how to try to make myself at least comfortable enough to sleep? Or is this just my warm up to being awake for the baby and I should just get accustomed to it? Thanks for the support!
