Sleep...zzzzzzzz

sleep...zzzzzzzz

I am up a minimum of 2 times a night and on a bad night up to 5.

I need to change this!

Has anyone figured a way around this one? Immodium is ineffective on my butt...

Sorry. Nothing seems to work for me either during a flare. Now that I'm in remission, I get up once a night just to urinate. Are you currently flaring?

I love your big blue picture, btw.

I'm really sorry to hear you're up so many times during the night right now. Are you eating much fibre? I'd try and steer clear of fibrous food at the moment if you're having to run to the loo so frequently?
Maybe simple meals consisting of things like rice and chicken might be useful right now? I know it can be a bit plain and bland but just for the time being?
After your last meal, I'd recommend having something like 'green tea' or some sort of herbal tea to settle the stomach perhaps? Hope things get easier for you asap. Thinking of you.

I've gotten so used to it, that it doesn't really wake me up. I sleep-walk to the toilet and back to bed when I'm done. LOL

Thanks everyone. Right now I'm trying not to eat after 6pm... mind you I am eating right now (6:30pm).

@chrisnsteph1022 - have you ever started dreaming while sitting there? That's when I know I need to get more sleep : )

@Jessi - yes currently flaring but it has been fairly serious since 2007. I'm going to try to go back on LDN.
