Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Oh, no.... I'm turning into an insomniac again!

I got out of bed half an hour ago, and my alarm just went off. How much did I sleep last night? 0 hours. Yep, zippo. And, it's almost time to get ready for work. I usually oversleep by like an hour anyways lately, but if I even try and succeed at sleeping now, I'll never wake up. I thought I was tired when I layed down last night... but the weight on my shoulders came zooming down, than I felt a stuffy nose, sore throat, and fever coming on...
I never get head cold sick! I do not even have any medicine. The pharmacy was closed by then, and the closest 24 hour one is far away enough I don't know how to get to it! Combined with my severe menstrual cramps antagonizing my IBS, I was horrible all night.

For some reason, I don't feel tired though. I mighta passed out for ten minutes here and there, but it's unlikely. I remember looking at the clock every 1/2 hour.
Now sick symptoms are going away, I think, and that kinda stinks in a way. Don't want to be sick, but now if I say I'm sick at work and have to leave early, I will feel like a faker. I don't want to call out... I have so much work to get done and wanted to have a "me" day soon.
I want to take my librax really bad, but if I wind up having to take Nyquil today, I don't think I should mix the two ???

What's a girl to do? I hope that i am sick and not falling back into bad sleeping patterns, they can take me MONTHS and MONTHS to break out of.
Thanks for letting me vent! (not that you all had a choice!

)
