Default Hello

I am doing slightly better than I was a few months ago.


1. The new cpap is helping.

2. And I am happy not to constantly be trying new meds -- so much anxiety and disappointment in doing that.

3. Hubby needed to rearrange the the direction of the bed and other items in
the bedroom.
It turns out that the bed facing a different way is working for me too.


I am still being careful about limitations -- no extra driving, working hard to stay focused on the road.
. . . .Limiting contact with colleagues because I know I sound incoherent. . . .

I'm so happy that you are seeing some improvement Mari

I'm glad that the new CPAP is working out well, and that you've been able to work around some issues. Keep doing what works for you

Things are only somewhat better in certain areas.
Thursday I cried at pdoc's when I started off the session by announcing, "I am tired."

She gave me some stupid advice that I took to mean I could try harder.
She said it is hard to "do things" but once I start them I might be o.k.
I ignored her by not responding.
Getting to her office was a minor miracle for me. I had to force myself to do the thing.

F her.


She recommended a blood pressure med that will help with hallucinations.
Treatment of Nightmares With Prazosin: A Systematic Review


I told her to look up whether it was contraindicated for Verapamil. DUH. It is.
She said that we could lower the Verapamil by a little in order to add
a small dose of her med.

No new meds. I am tired of her meds -- we were playing with her meds from June 2016 to December 2016 and I am
taking a break from that for now.

This sounds so tiring. I am sure you are frustrated as is she.
Hope you have a nice weekend off.

Default Sleep neuro says that they are really good. He wants me to do this.

I have an appointment re sleep issues with a member of the sleep CBT team at
a medical school with a huge chaotic parking lot Monday from 1:00-4:00 (three hours!).



This was set up over the course of two phone calls and I was supposed to get an email re what building and parking.


=-=-=
. . . not sure if I can deal with contacting them by phone Monday. Feels hard.
