Insomnia

[Guest guest]

Just wonderin.....are you taking any allergy meds? Anything with

pseudophedrine in it is like giving me speed. Far, far worse than caffeine,

that's for sure. Aren't you the one who can't take pain meds? Vicodin also

wired me, for days at a time.

If meds are not the problem, and they are obviously not the answer, then I

don't know what to tell you, since I KNOW you aren't likely to call a doctor

again any time soon if you can help it.

Wish I could have a few days of this getting everything done, and still

being wired. I am so fatigued that I wake up feeling like I never went to

bed. I could sleep for 14 hours (and have) and still am not refreshed. My

doctor says it's stress and depression. I say it's time for my bloodwork,

so we will see.
