At My Wit's End!!!

Posted by sleppyinpowassan on October 25, 2004 at 18:33:19:

Okay, I think I have had it, dealing with this N!!! I am so exhausted, day and night that it is making my life miserable!!!! I have tried every N medication available in Canada, have also tried some that are banned here but my sleep dr. was able to get some from the States for humanitarian reasons, and still nothing!

Having tired everything, I know there is no relief in sight for me! I was diagnosed with N four and a half years ago and have had a handful of good days!!

Thankfully my employer is understanding! I am always running late in the morning - I don;t hear the alarm the first couple of times, but then, when I do, I just can't seem to get out of bed. I get up with just enough time to get out of the house!

Also, I'm exhausted when I get home at 6pm (got up at 6:30am) but if I go to bed anytime before 11pm, I am awake during the night for hours!!! Just can't seem to win : If I go to bed at a decent time (10pm), I wake in the night and then have trouble waking in the morning. If I go to bed real late (12pm), I sleep straight through, but still have trouble getting up and then staying awake during the day!!!

Thanks so much for letting me vent! I do not post here often - usually too tired to go through the effort! But tonight, I'm just so sick and tired of all of this!!! Anyone else out there like me???
