Up way too early again...UG!
Wow, this morning i went to sleep at 1:30am, and was up at 3am! This SOOO SUCKS!!!
Asked DR if I could get ambien, she said no, as i'm on other meds that make me drowsy. I have no trouble falling asleep, it's staying asleep.
I sleep in shifts. 11pm or 12, until 3 or 4am...Then i get my News fix...World News Now, for Insomniac's, ya think? LOL!Then back to bed until home health aide gets here at 1030am, plus at 11am, i take my vitals thru this machine that my Visiting Nurse Company set up. It takes your 02, Heart Rate, BP, and weight, then it transmits to them, and if anything looks funny, they call to see how you are.
Pretty cool system. Another very amazing thing, my friend in New Mexico, works for a Cardiology Clinic , and used to work as a Respiratory Therapist. He's an RN...he had a few extra o2 meters, that also give you heart rate. He mailed me one!! I got it yesterday!So that way, when i lose the other system when my home care ends, i can still keep track!Ok, going back to bed...

geez, you sound like you have my hours! insomnia sucks. i can relate! funny how my dr gave me ambian & things to help me sleep BEFORE i was diagnosed with COPD; then wanted to stop everything because it could \"depress my respritory rate\".
i asked her what 1 day after being diagnosed made the difference LOL
i still take my anti-anxiety, and zertec for allergies at night...but i found my pain pills keep me awake (so much for doctors saying they will make you tired LOL)......i also get really tired of once i get to sleep the getting up every hour or two to go to the bathroom---it just doesn\'t seem fair LOL
my mom always told me that \"getting older isn\'t for sissy\'s\"---wow was she right :)
i\'m 57 & mom was 82---somehow i didn\'t think i\'d be dealing with all this yet.
there should be laws about these things (kidding)
