Donna,
I need all the cents I can get, Maybe one day they will add up to dollars!! (just a little dry humor!) I wish you luck with the medication, I have only been on Ritalin for 2 days, and it seems to be okay during the day, But afternoons it is not so great,, Maybe it hasn't gotten in my system???? Should the effects be immediate???
I always need energy, but I need it midafternoons and when I get off work. I need energy to be a Mom and do clean house. How do you manage?? Do you have children?? I feel like I'm cheating my son out of a Mom, we don't do "great things" together.
I feel so guilty, a trip to the park or other things that "MOMS" do. I don't feel like much of a mother, that's the worse feeling.
I am being treated for Narcolepsy, blood work was positive for it, but the sleep test was negative, I've got to follow-up with a different neurologist next month (in the meantime, taking 20 mg. of Ritalin) they may order another sleep test???
I hate those things!!! I just could not sleep, all of those wires, and during the daytime naps I was so tired, I slept when they wanted me to, but they say I didn't REM sleep? But I know that when I was forced to stay awake so long after wanting to go to sleep it was like being so tired I couldn't sleep, they won't let you sleep when you need to.
I don't know, Still somewhat confused, I just know that everything at the sleep clinic was totally opposite of my routine...I must go now, ready for bed...
Thanks for your "two cents", I appreciate it.
Keep in Touch...
