I couldn't sleep last night i was up at 1 then 2 then actually came downstairs from 2:30 till almost 5 watching infomercials and some spiritual lady... so this morning i crawled out of bed at almost 10... the dogs were confused and crazy... my body was confused and crazy since my meds were 3 hours late... i finally got the dogs situated in their routine but am waiting for my body to cooperate now... it's so wierd when this happens because not only am i off physically but i can't seem to think... i can't focus.. i'm on edge.. i hate this...
i was going to take the patch today but i want to take it when i get up which is usually 6:30 or 7 so i'm just going to put it off today again...i have a doc appt this afternoon anyway.. my GP.. then i've got the skin doc coming up.. then the neuro the next week... this is what my life has become one doc visit after another... yesterday zlatica told me she feels like that's what her social life has turned into now .. doctor visits.. You know i shouldn't complain because i just had an awesome weekend with family so that's not the case for me yet but i guess you pay for those awesome times and that's what apparently is happening to me today... luckily i don't have to leave for my doc till 1pm so i have time to pull it together physically and emotionally...
off to start my day (at 10:43) pathetic... lol

Thanks for sharing Paula, Reading some of these journals are almost like I\'ve written them myself. It\'s a comfort knowing we\'re not alone on the horrrible journey..
Stay focused.. Brian
Paula, I don\'t know if the insomia is part of the PD, or is due to the meds, but I remember when my wife had the same problems, and it lasted on and off for a long time. At the time both Karen and I associated it with other problems but reflecting back and reading many other entries about sleep problems with PD friends, I do feel it\'s part of the disease. When you have your next neuro appointment, bring it up with your doctor. Hopefully the doctor will have some answers for you. Sending you some hugs and prayers, Dan
thanks Bri and Dan... my routine started better today... feeling focused and ready to go!!
