Woke up around 12:15 AM--It has been a long time since I have done this. Though I fell asleep easily last night (8 PM?). Took .25 mg of alprazolam in hopes of getting tired enough to go back to bed. I usually take this dose about 3X a week. I know why I woke up. Because of dealing with my son (I did what I needed to do but being disappointed in him takes a toll)--my body reacts and it likely caused my scleritis to activate--a disorder where the sclera (whites of my eyes) get severely inflamed and red--I become sensitive to sunlight, teary eyed and feel pressure in my eyes. Scleritis is believed to be the result of the body's immune system overreacting. I had some dexamethasone pills left from my chemotherapy and I took one the day before yesterday--which almost immediately helped. When it started coming back yesterday--it took another and it subsided.) Scleritis can be dangerous for your eyes but steroids (dexamathozone) treat the condition effectively but also likely make me manic so I hope the scleritis does not come back today. Feel fully awake and energized right now and enjoying a cup of coffee which is mostly decaf (ran out of decaf but had enough left to make 2 cups of coffee which is 2/3 decaf ).
