Not feeling so good
Not feeling so good today, not sure what is happening. Slightly dizzy, really tired and in pain.
Havent been sleeping well for some weeks now, I go to sleep but am kept up by vivid dreams which run continually through the night .. highly unusual. Note : not on anything but blood pressure meds currently.
Last week was really rough and my body is feeling the physical strain so on the weekend I took some sleeping pills (Dormicum) so I could get some rest. Seemed to work fine with no side effects. Rather mild actually, the only difference I could detect is that I did manage to fall asleep for 4 hour stretches. Prescriped to be taken only once per day so I did not push it. So I managed to sleep for a few hours both Sat and Sun,but nightime sleep was interrupted as usual by my dreams and frequent trips to the bathroom.
Add TOM to the drama and let's just say I'm not a happy camper right now. I'm dragging myself about like a beraggled pup. I NEED SLEEP!
Isn't it ironic that I go from sleeping 20 hours a day, to being so tired and unable to to sleep .. so now I have to take pills to go to sleep?
PS : My body is tired of my attempts to rest, I've done nothing except go to work and lie down for the past week. So now I'm tired of resting but am not rested. Argh!

ill health sure does mess with our sleep cycles for sure.........i\'ve been prone to hypersleep and bouts with insomnia through the years. don\'t care for either of them ........but i do seem to sleep with a lot more regularity at night then i used to. a lot of things changed for me later in the life of chronic health issues......at first i was too busy with the life i had, i didn\'t know how and i wasn\'t ready for changes i guess........we all have our own journeys. glad you had a med that helped you rest..........sometimes the dreams come......maybe you should write them down.......perhaps there is a budding writer within and you need to see........i had a doc once who told me that i spent a lot of time trying to be the business career lady...........but i was avoiding my own destiny creatively...........sometimes a person sees things........because it is gifted to them..........maybe you\'re the next J.K. Rowling...........take it easy, hope you can rest........I know it\'s hard, when you\'re sick and tired.......tired and sick. It\'s a rough game to deal with............hugs!
