Maybe it will be the new lupus. Countdown to a House episode starts now.
Heh.
I am a large, semi-muscular man. I can take it. Don't hide behind Mal 'cause you know he'll shoot it down for you. Tell me.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
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?

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.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I had a sleep study and they found that RLS was the cause of my problems. It's a nasty one. Mine's related to fibromyalgia and EDS, apparently. Pregabalin (for nerve pain) has, unintentionally, helped a bit. I take zopiclone (sleep drug that I think is similar to Ambien) when it gets impossible to handle.
Edit: Wishing you rest and less pain, ita.

So, I'm used to hearing fire trucks because of the retirement community across the way, but this morning they seemed a little loud when I woke up. I finally look out the window and it turns out there were trucks up and down both streets fighting a huge fire around the block.
