Just glad to sleep a few hours at night. Naps are good. This mess has kicked our butts.

Mornin Barn Crew!

This insomnia shit is wearing me down.....Laying in bed, looking at the ceiling for hours on end.....Listening to my lovely wife and Beagle, snoring like freight trains!

Got 3 hours in from 2:30 til 5:30 when the alarm goes off.......

$375 later the REAL professional determined the entire board was toasted. We had replaced that over 11 years ago. Gotta love a Trane. He said the old ones are great but the new ones are terrible.


I’ll stick to treating humans. Don’t think I have a future in H&A.


Oh, and good morning all you turkeys. 😃
Morning
Usually heat or AC goes out 2am Friday night....

I've help fix alot of furnaces and its hit or miss when says a sensor is bad. I had an extra board for last place as it was a cheapo unit.

Have a good day

Ugh, hate that you and Lisa deal with that. Never understood it, as I slept like a baby till menopause hit.


Sure you've tried it all, but some of these things may be helpful:

Stop all caffeinated beverages by 10am (yea I know!)

OTC diphenhydramine 25 mg at bedtime combined with 10mg melatonin (4 hours before bed) Doxylamine 25mg (30 minutes pre sleepy time) or Valerian Root 600mg about an hour before desires sleep.

Tons of prescription options too, but they have more side effects and can cause dependence.

Good luck. Lack of sleep SUCKS.

We are big on fixing stuff ourselves, but as cold as it was, hubs said "F" it and call "THE guy".

Luckily we have a pretty trust worthy guy, he isn't the cheapest, but been in the biz since the mid 80's. Has fixed things when others just tried to sell us a new unit (16K)

That's why I got my MJ card. Sleep has been great and I've been lucky to get 15 hours of it per week for years. Since I started using this stuff, I've been getting at least 6 hours per night and it's awesome.


Anyway... sitting at the doc office again because of my knee. Sounds like a ratchet wrench and popped so hard yesterday, it gave out and damn near put me in tears at work. Gotta feeling I'm gonna need surgery and I can't take any kind of pain meds due to allergies.

Oh, Morning all and STFU Porter.

Stores look like they've been looted...

Wife works late today so worried she'll have icy roads then how they'll be tomorrow since she drives so far. Worse case scenario she takes a day off.
Snow better than ice but that cold air sucks.

All great stuff here! Thanks!

I have tried and do take the Melatonin, no noticeable help...Then I had my Nurse Practitioner send in a script for zolpidem tartrate. This does get me to sleep a little better but if I wake, I'm unable to get back to sleep....And it's addiction possibilities aren't particularly welcomed...

I'll try to stay up later before laying down tonight as a test.. but I'm worn out by say 8-9 pm.

DJ, I'm a puss about having MJ use on my medical history....why, I don't know. Just the old fashioned "keep myself private" mentality syndrome....?

What really surprises/puzzles me, I'm not a walking zombie during the daytime?

Thanks again young lady!

I was on trazadone for years. Not addictive like ambien, but the only downside was I had to take it early, go to sleep early, and it took about two hours to be awake and fully functional in the mornings so I had to wake up early.... and I HATE waking up before the crack of noon if I can avoid it.

So, I really dislike taking any drugs to be honest but I'm at a point I just need some help....I did have a script of Lunesta years ago, it would make me tired the next day. This Ambien doesn't do this and it doesn't seem to be as strong.

Stress has been like Defcon 5 around here lately but getting lowered daily....I really need two weeks on a beach, sunning myself with my wife feeding me grapes.....Oh, shit, I'm dreaming while awake!

Thanks bro's!

John Moore (repair) came to my house when my furnace died many years ago. Wanted $980.00 to replace the board. My wife threw him out. I bought the board on Amazon for $65 and fixed it myself. I have a spare board, spare capacitor and spare heat sensor in the attic for future failures.

Well, shit. Off to Ortho tomorrow afternoon. Looks like I am going to be told I need the knee surgery or a really good scooter if I don't get it. Dammit!

I'll take the scooter, but not a walker. I don't care how good those look with snazzy tennis balls on the legs.

SAME! It is nearly impossible here to find a capable, dependable, honest repair/service person. The best seem to be the Hispanics, but they are all too often uninsured.

When we find a good one, we stay with them. Most of them are much older, like this guy and probably won't be retiring soon.
