Ashcraft....Benadryl AND dramamine.... we used to give it to three kids when we would go on long, long car trips. They would sleep for about 10 hours.... They got to where they asked for their "car medicine".... ;)
That's Jodie!!

A scripture that makes me think of all you girls and guys pole vaulting....

Habakkuk 3:19
The Sovereign LORD is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to go on the heights.

Last year they were staged at the bottom of the escalators near all the poles were stored in the basement of the Hilton with everyones packet of information. I think they were setup by 11am on thursday. Just ask the desk clerk at the Hotel when you get there.

You may want to look at this information...

Benadryl Side Effects

General: Urticaria, drug rash, anaphylactic shock, photosensitivity, excessive perspiration, chills, dryness of mouth, nose, and throat.

Cardiovascular System: Hypotension, headache, palpitations, tachycardia, extrasystoles

Hematologic System: Hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis

Nervous System: Sedation, sleepiness, dizziness, disturbed coordination, fatigue, confusion, restlessness, excitation, nervousness, tremor, irritability, insomnia, euphoria, paresthesia, blurred vision, diplopia, vertigo, tinnitus, acute labyrinthitis, neuritis, convulsions

GI System: Epigastric distress, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation

GU System: Urinary frequency, difficult urination, urinary retention, early menses


Dramomine SIDE EFFECTS AND SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS:

The most common side-effect of dimenhydrinate is sedation which can vary from slight drowsiness to deep sleep, and including inability to concentrate, lassitude (lack of energy, fatigue, lethargy), dizziness, hypotension (low blood pressure) muscular weakness and inco-ordination. Other side-effects include gastro-intestinal disturbances (affecting the stomach and intestines) such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea or constipation and epigastric pain (pain in the upper, middle region of the stomach). Headache, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), elation and depression, irritability, nightmares, anorexia (lack of appetite), difficulty in micturition (passing of urine), dryness of the mouth, tightness of the chest and tingling, heaviness and weakness of the hands may occur. In infants and children it may act as a cerebral (brain) stimulant. Symptoms of stimulation in adults include insomnia (inability to sleep), nervousness, tachycardia (increased rate of heart beat), tremors, muscle twitching and convulsions (seizures and fits).

Large doses may precipitate fits in epileptics. Allergic (unusual sensitivity to medicines) reactions and anaphylaxis (sudden, life threatening severe allergic reaction) may occur. Blood dyscrasias including agranulocytosis (severe decrease in a particular type of white blood cells) and haemolytic anaemia (lack of red blood cells due to destruction of circulating cells) may occur. Dimenhydrinate has anticholinergic properties and should be used with care in conditions such as glaucoma (raised pressure in the eye) and prostatic hypertrophy (enlargement of prostrate gland). The anticholinergic effects of atropine and tricyclic antidepressants may be enhanced by dimenhydrinate.

Dimenhydrinate may mask the warning symptoms of damage caused by ototoxic medicines and may effect the metabolism of other medicines in the liver. It may enhance the sedative effect of central nervous system depressants including alcohol, barbiturates, hypnotics, narcotic analgesics, sedatives and tranquillisers.

KNOWN SYMPTOMS OF OVERDOSAGE AND PARTICULARS OF ITS TREATMENT:
Symptoms: Convulsions may occur with overdosage. Also coma respiratory depression (abnormally slow and/or shallow breathing). Stimulation may occur in children.
Treatment: Symptomatic and supportive.

“…the bizarre truth about these OTC medicines is that they are very powerful psychoactive drugsâ€Â
If I can do it, you can do it!

No. It's all inside. A place like Reno has lots of snow plows, to get the road from the airport to the hotel clear.

Despite all the storms that have been hitting the Sierras recently, they predict that the weather is going to be pretty clear for Summit. By that time there should be no problem getting on the roads. Up until that point though, the road crews will be pretty busy. On the news tonight they had all of these people standing by their front doors with the snow basically 10 feet high on each side. CRAZY for CA

just when things seem like they are going great some one comes and pulls the rug out from under you, I guess all you can do is try and catch your balance.
