So last Sunday went camping at the lake , was beautiful ! Relaxed watching my dog swim in the lake . My Pain increased as expected ( Fibro sucks!) Packed up Wednesday morning for home.

Saw my T that afternoon and he agreed that since I haven't slept more than a few hours total a week ( for months) that I was heading toward a manic hell, I agreed .

That nite ( Wednesday) I got the sniffles, no big deal .. right?

Well 2 am Thursday morning I get a horrid earache. 930 am half way the the doctors office... my eardrum ruptured ( oh joy) So loads of meds, lots of cursing.

Had to see my Pdoc that day , and we both agreed something needs done, So we agree to a trial of Saphris. So I took my first dose Thursday night. Nasty disgusting tasting concoction.

Oh I slept so amazing ! hours and hours of sleep . I flew out of bed and starting doing laundry and cleaning and cooking and buzzing around like a fool. I physically feel like hell but its okay because I can clean and cook and clean again.

So I took a dose last night , wake up zooming again, my husband kept trying to slow me down. I started having anxiety / panic attacks .. I am on # 8 today. No amount of tools out of my tool box has helped ! I have tried it all. I normally never have anxiety or panic issues ... So I am of course thinking that altho Saphris is helping me sleep but maybe causing anxiety.

So I plan to skip tonights dose and see what happens. My Pain level is at a 10 and then a ruptured eardrum knocks it up even higher !

So yeah that is my life right now. Could be worse I suppose .
