sleep doom update

[jinian]

Called GP's office only to find that he is on vacation all week. Oh no! Apparently, though, he usually calls in in the late afternoons, so I have explained things to the nice receptionist and she'll check with him. Even for a weird might-not-be-a-side-effect thing he'll likely be willing to let me try Zyrtec or something.

For today, still a sleepless wreck. I skipped the fexo and took some diphenhydramine instead (people take double antihistamines all the time and the main side effect seems to be drowsy [yes please!] incompetence [no change]) and tried to sleep for a couple of hours. Not sure it was ever really sleep, but I felt a lot more relaxed, time passed a little more quickly than I'd have thought, and lying warm with purring cats is good. Will attempt to proceed with life like normal person today.

Hah! Or you'll ask him for a prescription for another drug and he'll fill it :) Glad you're feeling more relaxed!

*hugs* Glad to hear you got some sleep this morning, even if not enough. Guess we both won the sleep lottery or something. I hope the new med works out!
