Dave, I have the same problem you are talking about. I can go days without getting out of bed... I don't care if I eat or drink anything, I keep a water bottle next to the bed and my meds are also right there...I can sleep for up to 18 hours a day or more... then I have the times like now that I can't sleep at all. I had no choice this week about getting up because I had my grandson all week... it was good for me because I had to stay on a set time to get up and when I could sleep... when he slept... two naps a day... I slept... but I had to get out of bed and interact with him...Next week I will try to do what I did this week but without an incentive I don't think it will work to well. Without that reason to get up I don't bother... even the dogs get frustrated with me because I make them wait till I'm ready to let them out and let them back in. Hope your able to have more control then I have. WIthout a reason I don't move. If I could I would even have my computer in my room next to my bed so I didn't have to get out. Thought about a laptop...T tells me that if I do that he will come and take the wall out of my bedroom personally so that my room is open to the living room so that I have to be out of my room. He makes my appointment for in the morning so I have to get up and break up my day and he even has me back a few times a week just to get me out of the house and out of bed... the trip to see him is three hours at least out of my day.
If you find anything that really works for you please let me know I will give it a try... Thanks
somebody
