Today I called my lawyer to see if they had an update about my disability case and the secretary said it could take several months to hear anything back. I've already been waiting 2+ years. So maybe I'll hear something in January. I just wish I could know the decision so I could plan accordingly.
Last night I was up most of the night so I signed up for health insurance. Got a plan for $58/mo for me and my husband since he doesn't make much. All my drs are covered. I had looked at the plans last month and it was saying most of my drs weren't covered so I'm glad that changed. I'm not going to pay my first months premiums till the 15th in case my husband gets a job with insurance in the meantime. I called my GP's office to set up a physical for next year and the soonest appt they had was April 11th. i wasn't expecting a 4 month wait. Oh well. I really need some sleep. Haven't been sleeping well for the past couple months. I'll do fine for 2-4 days then either sleep 4-5 hrs or not at all. It's really wearing at me. I know my pdoc would probably tell me to go back on saphris but then i sleep 11-13 hrs a day. I'm not cool with that. Next week I think I'm going to volunteer at church. The secretary is supposed to get back to me. She emailed me yesterday cause she needed help but I was at the focus group all afternoon. Hopefully she can give me more warning next time. I just feel bummed out in general. Hopefully I can sleep tonight and I'll feel better tomorrow. |

Ugh paper work and logistics... the worst. I'm sorry that you are going through such a hard time and that the red tape is preventing you from getting the help you deserve. It's really messed up! You deserve so much better. Take comfort that many of us have had issues like this and we support you 110%
I once had an issue where I was having moderate psychotic delusions and hallucinations. I couldn't actually speak with a psychiatrist for a month and a half because mine was on vacation/family leave (no one told me). I had to basically get all my help from nurses and on call doctors. It was a mess and I was lucky that I didn't lose everything and end up locked in a hospital. Sleep is very important though. With little support I would consider bearing the burden of 11-13 hours of sleep if it meant I was with less symptoms and could actually enjoy the time spent awake. Over time the medication I take reduces my need for that much sleep though. It starts at 14 with a big increase and eventually it gets to 9-10 which is okay by me. Idk I guess you have to weigh what stability is worth to you. Would you rather be alert and miserable, or satisfied but tired. Also, everyone is different. If you are drowsy, sleeping 13 hours and not getting symptom relief then... totally not worth it. Glad you are getting out and about, that's great! Keep on swimming through this, you will see the other side soon enough. Hugs!! __________________ What comes up, must come down- but what's going badly will turn around. If you think you're sinking we won't let you drown. Love from me to you, wishing you safe and sound. xoxo |
