Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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?
Amy, do you have fibro? my mom's fibro causes her restless leg all the time.
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.
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.)

Heh.
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.)

Clearly, the only way was up.
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?
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.
