Good afternoon everybody!

I slept until noon today! I guess I was really tired! I'd been trying to wean off my Trazodone and had cut them into quarters (had been taking a half of one per night) so I guess I really needed a good night's sleep.

I'm going to ease up on the job search a bit, only apply for maybe one or two a week and not worry about it.

I started a thread in the MS forum saying that I'm thinking about applying for SSDI. I've been applying for jobs for three months and it's wearing me out. I'm 51 years old and I know it's a factor when people look at my application. I honestly don't know if I could handle full time work anymore. I don't know if I'm fast enough to do a good job on the civil service exam for math which is what I need to take at NIU for the jobs I quality for.

Fatigue is my downfall. I take pills to keep me awake and they upset my stomach and give me headaches and increase my need for sleep aids that make me groggy in the morning unless I sleep 10-11 hours. Then if I have an active day or two I have to recover.

I'm going to talk to my neuro about it and see what he thinks when I see him next Friday. I'll also talk to my new PCP about it on Monday when I go for my checkup.

You never know, a job might appear and work out for me though but I'll try not to stress about it because that doesn't help anyway.

Have a good weekend everybody. To all needing hugs and prayers, God bless and...
