So yesterday was another hour long session with my doctor...
How am I feeling she asks..
Well apart from the fact that I am in excrutiating pain all the
time from the Fibro, my sleep pattern has become much worse
I have gone from about an 1 hour to 2 hours of sleep a night to
hardly any at all.. When I have got some sleep it's only to have
been woke up with such life like nightmares that have stopped
me from even wanting to try to go back to sleep..
So I'm up all hours of the night roaming around the house
making mental notes of what needs to get done..
At the time it feels like I should be waking up the rest
of the house to start working on my list of little projects..
Winter isn't even over with yet!!
And I have a list longer than my arm on what I want to
get done before next winter comes around..
Things like sealing up the windows, what needs to be
insulated, or done to stop the cold from getting in, what
needs to be stocked up on incase we get hit with any kind
of storm, do I need to buy more comforters, should I get
more lamp oil, or candles how many batteries should I
have in the house.. These are things that I don't usually
start thinking about until August, September time but
for some reason it's been running threw my head lot
lately, even Christmas shopping usually I have already
started now I'm just chewing myself up because I haven't
started.. And I've noticed I have been doing alot more
irrational things for about a month or so now..
I know I'm heading into to a high episode, I have no idea
what might have triggered this turn around, it could be
the weather changing, it could be some of the things that
have been stressing me out at home, maybe the building
excitement that I have family coming from England that
I haven't seen in years I don't know. maybe it's the
nightmares.. Anyway she has put me on Olanzapine today
to see if it helps, on top of the Lithium, Paroxitine,
Ampitrypiline, Naproxen and the Insulin injections..
The Olanzapine is supposed to help me sleep better and
help with some of the pain for the Fibro.. I took one last
night it would have been around 11 pm, I slept through
until 7:30 this morning only problem is I didn't want to get
up at all I knew I had kids to get ready for school, laundry
to put in all the daily household things ..
Once I got the kids off to school I laid on the couch and
had slept for another hour until my sister called...
I think the Olanzapine is going to help me get the much
needed sleep I need, and maybe just maybe it might just
get me back on track to stabalizer me...
