Skipping the gabapentin really helped. I was able to get my errands done before taking my regular (2 1/2 hour) afternoon nap.

Since the second dose of gabapentin is so sedating now, I obviously don't need it to slow me down anymore, which was it's intended purpose. I'm not taking it during the day anymore and will let my pdoc know that when I see her.
I have to call today to make an appointment with her. In the meantime, I'm not worried about side effects from the med change. I've had to make the same adjustment before.


I had plans to travel to the outlets today to run up the mileage on my car, but it's supposed to rain all day and I can't drive in those conditions. I hate having to change plans, but I'll have to wait until tomorrow until the weather is better.

I ended up taking a 4 hour mid-day nap yesterday even though I didn't take the gabapentin

I've had a cough with congestion for about a month now and have been treating it with OTC meds. My thermometer's dead so I haven't been tracking my temp, but I woke up this morning in a cold sweat feeling like someone punched me in the face. Maybe it has turned into bronchitis, or I have a sinus infection, and that is what has been causing the increased fatigue? IDK. I guess I'll try to get an appointment with my PCP just in case. Blah.

Whatever the reason, I've been prone to these long daytime naps for the last week, so I don't think it's a good idea for me to get in the car and drive 150 miles solo. The outlets aren't going anywhere, and I have almost 60 days to return to have my car reinspected with the additional 150 miles on it.

I couldn't get an appointment with my PCP or the NP in the office, so I was referred to urgent care. I have mild pneumonia and a sinus infection. I got a gentle you should know better/have to do better speech. I'm on antibiotics, will be resting, and should start feeling better in a couple of days.
