I'm so glad, Erin. I mean, it's not like you were trying to get vicodin or something. It's freaking ambien! Thank god for sensible doctors.
I actually do have to see a new doctor and try to get Vicodin. This should be interesting.
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Insomnia must be a total mystery to those that have never suffered from it, but it's so brutal.
This. I have trouble sleeping on occasion. And I get a headache once in a while. But all the people I know who suffer from insomnia or migraines - I just can't even imagine. And I feel for you all so much.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yay for excellent surgery outcome, Perkins!
Erin, yay for a sensible and helpful doctor! If you feel like it, you should tell that other doctor exactly why you won't be seeing her anymore.
smonster, yay for job offer! Do you need me to start calling you in the mornings again? I apologize for falling out of the habit.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Because of all of the drama about Christine O'Donnell and her "witchcraft" past, ParentDish from AOL interviewed a "witch mom" (their term, not mine) and when asked about O'Donnell, she said"
I don't want to claim Christine O'Donnell. It's kind of like when Sen. Larry Craig was caught in that airport bathroom. No gay person wanted to claim him, either.
I was amused. And on that note, am headed home.

Heh. I totally don't get insomnia because I have the opposite problem--I can't get ENOUGH sleep. I am ALWAYS ready for a nap (though naps don't work because I end up thinking "or I could just sleep til morning!"), and pretty much always able to sleep. (Especially "sleep longer", I'm not as bad about staying up, though occasionally....).
Only rarely am I unable to sleep (like, night before a big event or something, when I"m all jazzed up). But I can't imagine. Ick.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I was once, basically, awake for a month.
Actually, I got 2-4 hours of shitty sleep a night which was sufficient to sustain life but not sanity. Cass was nothing short of a saint until I got to the doctor. I've never been that bad since and I won't be without an Ambien stash ever ever ever ever ever ever ever again.
Once, on a road trip, I took a friend's Ativan which knocked me out nicely. It makes sense that anxiety is a big component of my insomnia. Once I have health insurance again I intend to discuss this with my doc.
