I have always had vivid dreams. Vivid and long, basically an entire plot would happen in my dreams. It's exhausting. I haven't noticed a change with mepron. Been on it for almost 2 weeks. It has kicked up my POTS stuff though. I'm in a lot of pain today too. My pain had eased off for a while so it's back with a vengeance. And my sleep has been more broken and slow in coming.

I have POTS, too.


I'm kind of psyched right now...because this morning...my pulsatile tinnitus was non-existent - when I put each ear to the pillow before getting out of bed (to test it).

It had gotten quite a bit better - I think when I was on the rounds of Artemisinin...but can't remember if it was completely gone. And then it got a bit worse again.

I'm hoping it is gone for good.

Sorry that your pain has increased again.
What type of pain do you have? Certain areas of the body...or everywhere?

I've had spells of dreamless sleep, seems like years. I mostly don't get that good deep sleep. I have a sleep apnea machine/mask and it gives me like 30% energy and refresh as I used to get before I was sick. Though Anti-malarials and anti-protozoals IIRC are well known to cause vivid strange dreams or nightmares. Lately it's insomnia then I feel like I'm on the edge of a mild seizure. But I've had my share of nightmarish thoughts/dreams while undergoing treatment and during herxes.

I don't know where you are as far as healing from these infections - but I'm wondering if you've ever re-tested for sleep apnea after treating...to see if it's gotten better?

Oh I'm sure I've still got sleep apnea. It's very noticeable if I don't put the mask on before I doze off, it's almost like I didn't sleep at all, just like before. Today is odd as I just had a sort of symptom free window, watching what I eat, raw veggies green beans hummus, lean meat, raw cabbage and no caffeine.

And some beer..lol sry it's a holiday, gotta live a little.

The reason why I asked - is I got sleep apnea shortly after lyme symptoms started. I didn't have it prior.

I tried the c-Pap - but it didn't help me.

I don't think I have it anymore...I don't have the same symptoms...and my husband says I'm not noisy anymore.
