Are you sure you weren't watching Private Practice??? (I think that was the issue last week.)

Weird! Nope, have never watched it. I think it was an aticle in the Observer on Sunday. Maybe it will be the new lupus. Countdown to a House episode starts now.

Aw Perkins, i'm sorry you are awake. I am too but it's a little after my usual wake up time. Why am I tired all the time again?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Amy, do you have fibro? my mom's fibro causes her restless leg all the time.

Because books.

I'm not sure, msbelle. I've had some problems with all-over muscle fatigue and I'm beginning to think I'm developing arthritis, especially in my hands -- my mom has lupus and fibro and arthritis (hat trick!), so I pay attention. The restless legs have gotten bad just in the last few years.

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

One of my cousins recently had surgery for chiari malformation. His mother asked me if I had been tested for it, since it sometimes happens along with EDS or hypermobility. I haven't been tested, but I don't really have any symptoms, so there's really no reason to test me. (I used to get migraines right around the time I got my period at least a few times a year, but since I started taking Yaz, that's completely stopped.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Maybe it will be the new lupus. Countdown to a House episode starts now.

Heh.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm very thankful that I've never had to deal with insomnia. Sleep dep, yes, but that's parenting-induced and temporary. Temporary being measured in years, but still.

(And currently in the midst of the waking-up-every-two-hours-to-pee phase of pregnancy, but I figure that's just biology's way of preparing me for the inevitable wake-up-every-two-hours-to-feed-the-baby phase which follows.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

(I used to get migraines right around the time I got my period at least a few times a year, but since I started taking Yaz, that's completely stopped.)

Clearly, the only way was up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have had many MRIs, but I don't know if I've had a sideways one. They all blur together at this point.

As does my life. I'm clutching my Red Bull and trying not to cry. I know for sure I didn't get to sleep before 1:30, and subjectively it felt like a lot less than five hours, because there was a lot of rolling around in the silent wee hours.

My head is pounding again, and I'm finding it hard to keep the damned drink down, and, just, this is a lot of experimentation to be doing with my real life, you know?

'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"

I switched taking my Celexa to night, and have less sleepiness during the day. When I first started on Paxil, for the first time in my life I was able to regularly deeply nap (i.e. fall all.the.way.asleep) without serious illness helping things along.
