Welp. I'm wide awake at 3am. Seems the insomnia has not left me yet. UGH!!!
I just cannot get to sleep. I was starving, so I ate, but that didn't do a thing for me.
I feel like I have 8 million things to do before the 26th. I know it's not REALLY that many, but you know that overwhelming rushed feeling you get???? Yeah it's taken me over right now.
We finally got Justin's pain under control. Seems Darvocet is his thing right now. Hey, whatever works! He sees his new doctor in the morning. He's at work right now, and we're so pathetic.....we miss each other terribly.
Is it straight insomnia or pred insomnia. I have pred insomnia and anxiety about RA meds insomnia. And if i turn my head wrong i have pain that wakes me up. I used to get wired on the flexeril. But as time went by the flexeril made me tired instead.I'm out of flexeril, and I don't take pred. It's "I'm going on vacation" insomnia.
Thats the good kind of insomnia. Mine has to be drug induced. I would sleep forever if i didn't take pred. But the RA varies and so does the fatigue. Some days i sleep all day and night anyway and sometimes i can't.My freind came over to watch tv so i drank capicino to stay awake. By the time he left my neck was to stiff i would yell if i turned my head wrong. He said my face was swollen he could tell that. He said why are you walking like that. I said because all the tendons in my leg have gone stiff. One of those days. But if i turn my head wrong it is a headache in the top of my head i can feel a sharp bad pain.
I have ambien now....not the greatest, but helps a little. I just don't want to take it everynight.
Did you hear about Abien waking up the semi comatose. A lady had them put her son on it because he thrashed around and looked uncomfortable, and he started talking. So one of my friends takes care of a lady whos daughter beat her to needing a shunt. The shunt got infected with staff and secound shunt did not work so good for her. The lady was a school teacher, her daughter was on meth, beat her and left her for dead in the drive way one winter night. Someone driving by saw her laying in the drive way. To sad. Well they are going to see if Abien helps her any.I give up. I'm up for the day. *sigh* It's 5am. I thought I could sleep about an hour ago, but as soon as my head hits the pillow, I'm wide awake. I might try to catch a nap on the couch. But we have Justin's doctor appt at 8:45, and then I have to do some things at Kinkos. BAH! One day, I'll sleep. I SWEAR!Shall I sing................that will send you all to sleep( not cause its good but cause you'd sleep to shut out the noise
Hope Justins Drs appointment goes well KatieMe TOO!!! I'd kill to get some sleep about now. I'm EXHAUSTED. Maybe if I stay up though, tonight I'll actually sleep? It's worth a shot!!!!
You might end up overtired. Think thats what happened to me. We left New York at 7.30 pm on Friday, our flight was 6 and half hours but the time difference meant we didnt get into London until 6.30am, we didnt sleep on the flight and when we got home it was manic as we hadnt seen the kids all week and we gave them all their gifts. I was so overtired that i couldnt sleep and didnt go to bed until 11.30pm that night by then we had been awake for over 24 hours straight. UGGG!!!!!! I brought Oreo cookies back with me and little bite fudge brownies, cant stop munching them.Haha yeah I hated the flights to and from the UK. SO STRANGE to see the sun rise and set within.............lord I don't know, when you're in the plane it only seems like an hour! It's just odd. Hehe
I'm seriously considering a nap here....just a short one, on the couch. But I'm betting that as soon as I lay down....WHAM, wide awake again. Poo poo. I wish I could call into work. Can't afford it though :(
Too much on your mind I think. You have a lot going on right now so its probably stopping you from relaxing and sleeping. Hope you get some sleep soon though. Right I am off to see my mum for a cup of tea and cake. Take care.
Good Morning all. I think it is the season for not sleeping. I finally slept for the first time in ten days or more last night. I didn't sleep well, but I will take whatever I can get.
Katie~be patient with the kitties...they feel that you are leaving too. I hope Justin's appt. goes really well, and he is finally getting some help with this.
Pinnie~Sleep on, and store some for later. I am so glad that you had a good time in New York. I do need to make it there sometime. I think it would be fun to meet some girlies and shop, and look at sights.
Jeff and I had our second counselling appt. MIL is here. Kiddies are anxious to be finished with school for the year!
Talk to you all after my infusion!
Goodmorning! So have you guys ever had one of those days where you think...oh it cant get worse? Well that was my day yesterday. Everything went fine till I had to go get DH from the office since I had the truck. We had to drive to the new house to look at why the pipe that DH fixed Sunday was leaking...Well it turned out that the idiot that did the HVAC decided to hide one of the connections by a heating duct. So DH had to reroute that pipe a different way and thats when all hell broke loose. He was cutting the glavanized pipe and his saw decided it didnt want to have any more battery so he had to use a regular saw. Then there was this 6 in piece of wood that was there just to look pretty but it was blocking any way for him to get the new copper pipe in to where he needed it to be so he had to use a regular saw cause he didnt have any of his drills......So by 9:00 we were FINALLY able to leave....Oh and i didnt bring ANY of my meds since DH said "oh we're just gonna go look at it" UGG
Katie, Hope Justins appointment goes well today.
SHelly, Good luck at your infusion today
Oh, and we went to the mall yesterday morning and Kelsay got to sat on the REAL Santas lap. She just thought that was the coolest thing. Then I took some pics of her for Christmas cards.
Shannon, get used to it! Things like, 'it'll just take a few minutes', 'I'll just have a quick look at it', 'it's just a simple little job'.....are all husband-speak for ....'we'll be here all day', 'don't plan anything today cause I'll be fixing....', 'this is gonna take forever', 'I got half way through it and needed another tool'....
ps. anybody want to share my insomnia, it's 3am and as usual I'm up. I have to go get my MRI results later this morning (later as is when normal people are up
Katie, I hope you get some sleep soon, girl! Don't want the lack of sleep to bring on a flare. I hope Justin's appointment goes well.
Seems like everyone has been bitten by the insomnia bug. It's probably the stress of the holiday around the corner and everything we think needs to be done. I hope you all get some much needed sleep soon.
As for me, I've been in pain all week. Neck, ribs, chest, swollen fingers... now my back. I've got flank pain on my left side. (Kidneys, don't fail me now.) My hubby stayed home with me yesterday and I was very grateful because I could not lift Baby Boy without something hurting. I also got a dose of humility with having to use the electric cart at WalMart; we had to get groceries. I'm hoping this pain ends quickly as I've had as much as I can take. I ended up throwing myself a pity party yesterday. It hurt to open the jar of food for Baby Boy.
I hope you all have a superfantastic and extra comfortable day! Hugs all around.
KM,
She is a doll. Thanks for sharing.
I just got these done for our cards this year. The girls (Allura, 12yo, left & Saffron, 17yo, right) planned it and surprised my son (Adam, 15yo). It was an accident that we caught it. I couldn't resist sharing. And I really don't know how to resize it correctly. Sorry!
I am cold, but it is probably not even cold outside, just in the house! As usual.
I am doing much of nothing today... maybe play a video game since my hands are able to YAY!!!
thats a cute pic. the expression on his face is pricelessThe photos are beautiful and wil make wonderful cards.Oh MAN! That picture ROCKS BJW!!!!! And thanks for the Christmas card Hope you guys have a great holiday!
