I am just cranky b/c I am not getting enough sleep. I went to doc today and told him that I am not sleeping well and that I am groggy all day. His solution is to take me off the flexaril and try to exercise more and I'll sleep better. Okay so when I went to him for the first visit I wasn't on anything and I couldn't sleep w/o my mind racing so he put me on the Flexaril to help me sleep now I have trouble getting to sleep but once I am asleep I sleep good but can't get up in the a.m. So now he takes me back off Flexaril so now I will be back to the mind racing thing and really achey w/o good sleep. SO FRUSTRATING!!!!
He said I could try valerian to help me sleep. Ever try it?? And then he told me to come back in 3 months b/c there is a sleeping pill that is coming out that is for long term use w/ no dependence issues. Oh great so no real sleep for 3 months!
Then I asked him about Vit C, etc. And he said that is really a placebo effect and he is okay w/ that if that is what I want to do. He said a healthy dose of Vit C, B12, etc. can't do me any harm. What??? Was that a yes or no?
Then I get a call from my mom who watches my kids while I am at work and my 7 year old is crying and her throat hurts. I had to run her to the docs at 6:30 pm and find out she has strep throat. OMG I want to run away. I love her more than anything but I don't want strep w/ Fibro. I know it will hurt magnified by ten, I normally have a little sore throat anyway w/ the fibro. But she is my baby and when she is sick she wants mommy and I want to make it all better for her so I will probably get strep.
Then I went to Giant to get her RX filled and they were to busy and not accepting anymore RX for the night. And the doc said she had to have first dose tonight so pain will stop. So then I go to Rite Aid and had to wait 45 minutes for RX to be ready and the whole time my poor baby is crying her throat hurts. I wanted to cry right in the middle of Rite Aid but I held it together. And hubby is at his annual fishing club meeting so I had to get the kids a bath and their stuff ready for school tomorrow and all I want to do is crawl in bed but I don't know why its not lke I'll sleep or anything.
So that felt good just to rant, bet you are sorry you asked what you could do to help, huh?
