Therapy rescheduled
It sucks. I turn the ringer off of my phone at night and forgot to turn it on when I got up. Well, my therapist called right as I was leaving the house to go to therapy and I didn't hear it. I checked my phone while on the second bus on my way there. She told me she had to reschedule for Friday. Luckily since I'm disabled I get a free bus pass. I didn't have to pay for a round trip. If I did, I would have been mad. I have no one to blame but myself. Now I know to check my phone before I leave. I needed to go today, but it just gives me more to talk about on Friday.
I've been depressed, gaining weight, and not caring. I've gained back 10 pounds since my last low a couple months ago. I've stopped exercising for various reasons- some valid and some not so much. I walked 3/4 of a mile today really slow. I'm just glad that I got any walking done. I decided to walk home from the bus stop. I came home and napped.
I slept like crap last night. I woke up in the middle of the night with heartburn again. I don't know what's causing it. I don't eat anything spicy in the evening. I don't get the heartburn until 3-5am, so it's not that (at least I don't think). I think it's my IBS acting up, so there's not much I can do. I've been taking my pills and all that. Tomorrow I go up on my Risperdal, so we will see how that affects my dizziness. I hope it's not too bad. My friend Courtney is trying to get me to volunteer tomorrow since I'm depressed today to get my mind off of it. I just need a day to sleep in. I woke up at 8:45 this morning after a bad night's sleep. I think I'm going to go get ready for bed now... I'm tired and I'm hoping to get a good night's sleep!

As for the thought that the heartburn could be from your IBS...would eating a cup of yogurt before bedtime help? I have colitis which is a step up (maybe down!) from IBS and Align is a great help but it is costly so I am not sure that would be a option for you. I am not sure how the in store options would compare to Align but they are cheaper and sometimes have a 2 for 1 sale.
Have natural yoghurt in the fridge, and have a small cup before bed, and repeat this if you have an attack in the night. I get heartburn if I binge - chocolate, bread, anything in excess will upset my rhythms. Can you try not to eat anything except maybe a calming tea from 7 p.m? It would mean that you were going to bed with an emptyish stomach and may prevent any discomfort. Just a thought. WS
Having a good night\'s sleep is very important. I hope it helps. Heartburn that wakes you up or doesn\'t let you fall asleep isn\'t good at all. I had a few weeks ago. it\'s awful , so i feel for you.
I hope you are able to go to work. Good luck with your dr appt.
