About Me
I have been sick for more than 20 years. I do not blog about it and I feel lonely. Am on a new treatment the last two years and now am feeling much stronger and still lonely. Sleep studies showed I had sleep apnea and no deep sleep. My Dr. started me on XYREM , SODIUM OXYBATE, and I began to sleep deeply. The first day after I woke up I BEGAN to remember things from the radio, and books and life that I HADN\'t thought about for years. Then I began to tear down the morning gloryvines that were covering my windows! tHE light came in! Now I am on the road to recovery, a long slow journey . I have 4 children and 4 grand- children and a supportive husband and I thank G-D. Now I have to learn to live again. I am not the same person I was and may never be again. Loss of confidence in myself, depressive, anxious. Unfamiliar and unwanted feelings.
