I really wonder if part of the problem is the amtrypillne. Because I know in my husband and son's cases that this particular drug is one that makes them want to sleep period. They have trouble staying awake in the mornings.
Or even wanting to get up. Not sure how long you have been on this medicine, but wondering if its been so long its quit working for one thing.

I've been on the Amitriptyline for about a year.... I don't know that it ever worked. At least it didn't work well.

I'm anxious to see how the Remeron works but I haven't made it to the pharmacy yet... I've had a couple of short naps and am not in any shape to try to drive. --- Maybe tomorrow.

My insurance agent called me today and we talked about switching around my auto insurance a little...to get it lowered. (It went up due to my 2 accidents in just over a year)
Agent told me it looks like It can be lowered by at least $100. maybe more. I'm going to go talk with her next Wednesday.

I am having a better day today...
<---for all.

I'm so glad you are feeling better today.

I slept all day it seems. I just couldnt get going. But I will be up and going tomorrow. I have to go to the doctor tomorrow. And then to my massage therapist. I have some time in between these two things. Have to figure out what to do to feel them in.

I have to figure out how to find a ride to Indianapolis on Oct 5th. Which is not fun. I hate having to ask friends or others to take the day off.
So I;m going to hope my husband wont throw a fit when I ask him to take it off.

Then I have to make arrangements for Derrick. I am not sure how long the procedure will take. Because then for Derrick at night.

I had a rough day. First the nurse practioner just wasn't in a mood for me it seemed. She didn't seem to want to talk about the things I needed to talk about. Not that she wouldn't, but she seemed in a hurry. Like I was in the way, and why are you here. Then when they had specifically requested that I get bloodwork done. I'd fasted, and was ready.

I don't like to go to the hospital for this, because you have to register. And it can take 5 minutes or 40 it just depends on when you get there and how many people are before you. Well the lady decides I can go to the hospital to get the work done. Because her usual girl isn't there. And the other one is going to be a few minutes. I'm not one to be going looking for a parking place at another place. And then waiting.

I'd already fasted to 12 hours. And when I am on the road, I can't go longer without eating. SO I knew this was bad. I got to the hospital and it was packed. I didn't stay, just couldn't handle the wait. Eating lots later wasn't going to work.

Second bad day, and then I had a massage later. And it was not good my legs are bad. And it seems the fitness center isn't going to put the tent type thing back on yet. Its supposed to be back up by now. But when I went by the other day it wasn't. i am needing the water, and its to cold otherwise.

Ugh, it was bad and I have one hip that is really swollen because of the massage. It was just that bad to start. I am pretty sure I need someone for arthritis now, not the test that is being done. Because its inflamation,
not in the stomach. But who am I to know.

Dear Donna,
You are doing the best you can.
Take one step and one day at a time.
I scheduled myself for some blood work finally.
It was a hassle.

So I understand.

Will there ever be a day that I feel rested....

I went to bed a little after 7am and woke up at 8:38am... I am SOOO tired.

My train of thought keeps jumping track...

I have to take my nieces to work and pick them up today.... one goes at 1pm to 7pm... the other works 6pm to 10pm. I may try to sneak in a nap between 1 and 6.
