How can someone who's gone through medical school and been an intern on call not know what sleep deprivation feels like?!?
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Yeah, but they should have a special class for future sleep specialists....

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 just started taking iron supplements because I've been so listless during the day. I don't really eat meat and surely not enough leafy greens so I thought I'd take a crack at an anemia self-diagnose.
Its worked wonders and I'm sleeping better at night too. It's been pretty wonderful.

Meanwhile, last pain meds refill was just for 1 week, so I have to cyber-stalk the migraine specialist's assistant again.
Does your migraine specialist believe the migraine fairy is going to arrive any time now? If she is of the insane belief that you're drug seeking and are going to do something nefarious with a month's worth of pills, can't she do some kind of weekly auto-renew, so you only have to have the hassle of filling the prescription, not weekly stalking?
Various medical things, including the anti-estrogens I'm on, completely frelled my ability to get to sleep, and I've been taking Ambien every night for five years.

Anyone in need of size 8 boys shirts. I have 16 tees, 3 polos, and one button up - all but one short sleeve. If you will cover postage, I will happily send them out. If interested email me and I'll send you a description of them. I am also going to have a bunch of shorts available, if anyone wants to get a jump on next spring/summer.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I've been taking Trazadone the last couple of weeks for sleep issues, and I'm not sure if it's working or not. While I'm not waking up multiple times during the night(at least not that I remember), but I'm still feeling tired when I get up. I'm gonna give it a while to work, since it has worked for me in the past.

Gah. I got to take the trash out, and Mister Kitty does what he never does: shoves open the screen door and bolts out. By the time I extricate myself from the trash cans, he's two houses down and Loki has dove deep into the wild postage stamp. Sheesh.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Trudy, I just got diagnosed with iron-deficient anemia and started taking iron. Even though it will take a couple of months to get my iron to good levels, I can already tell a difference. It used to be at 4:30 or 5, I literally could not keep my eyes open and would crash for about 45 minutes. I still get tired, but not like that. It's amazing what a difference it makes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
