Mari,
Thank you. That makes me feel much more comfortable about not being anywhere near the point of having my rights taken away and locked up. I have been worried about it.
Yes the ideas you gave to help brain problems are right on. I always go to bed before 9:00. Hell I am exhausted by 7:00. At least I am getting some more sleep. I am able to sleep for 5-6 hours straight whereas before I was only able to sleep for a few hours at a time due to pain. Ever since I have been sleeping through the night mostly I feel like I can do more during the day and actually want to do things. So I take that as a good sign.
I think you are right about the testing. It will help so I can get the correct treatment and hopefully get approved for disability. That would take a big load off my mind.
Hope you all are having a good day. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me with my problems. Have a good night everyone.
