Hi there, I am sorry to hear about your sleep issues. I too have severe sleep issues at this time. It has been at least 5 weeks since i have gotten more than 2 hours of sleep a night. Sometimes I sleep an hour more and sometimes i don't sleep at all. I talk to my dad and step-mom about it and my step-mom seems to think I sleep all day. Hmmmm....well i wish that were the case. i just spend most of my time in there because it is so crowded in a 2 bedroom apartment with 3 people and a dog.
Anyways, I talked with my pdoc again, and he too is frusterated. I have been refered to a sleep specialist that i am going to go to on thursday. I am pretty nervous because they will probably just say it's all in my head. That is my biggest fear when it comes to problems, people will just say "it's all in your head".
I too have become depressed again. I have been doing very well unti about 4 weeks into the sleep deprivation. I have even been having hallucinations sometimes. I know that taking extra pills doesn't work for me because i get the same amount of sleep and when i wake up i have severe double vision or am hung over. My pdoc has tried everything for me and it's all so frusterating.
I can totally sympathize with you and if you want to talk about what is going on please feel free to PM me anytime. I will get back to you ASAP.
Take care of yourself and hugs,
Jen
