Suggest Treatment For Severe Insomnia And Arthritis
I am 90 years old with very serious insomnia. I am on aspirin, tamsulosin, finestride, metoprolol,atorvastatin. Is there a prescription medication which can get me to sleep? After once asleep I urinate almost hourly, but the first process of getting to sleep initially is my problem. I have untreated rheumatoid arthritis with pain in my right shoulder joint.
