Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

I haven't heard of before. I usually attribute to drug companies coming up with a drug and making up a malady to sell it. "Idiopathic" is pretty obvious. I don't have sleep apnea; I'd be scaring my husband to death if I did. I did have it at one time, when I was overweight. But that all seemed to go away once the weight started dropping off me. I went from over 200 lbs to 95, and I now stay right around 92-95 lbs. I do have night terrors - at least, since all these years with *rump. I've actually fought my husband as he tried to wake me up from them. Last time, I evidently clocked him a good one (LOL).

I'm just at the end of my rope with this. I mean, I feel like I'm sleeping towards my death... and that last is going to be a long, lasting sleep. I would like to do a few more things before I get there. The twice annual time changes do me no good thing, I know that. I'm screwed up for weeks after one of the changes. So, evidently in one way, I'm sensitive to "time" as a construct. I'm just throwing up my hands at this point, looking for ledges to grasp. It just gets to the point where you feel like you're going crazy. I set alarm clocks, and if I don't sleep through them, I find them thrown across the room when I do wake up. Right now, I basically live on 5-hour energy several times a day -- both bad for my body and for my pocketbook. If I could just get up while it's morning, I'd cope with the rest of it.

Thanks for writing... like I said, I see my doc for regular appt next month. I slept through the one I had previously scheduled! We'll see where it goes with her... if no where, then I have my rheumalogist to fall back on, as well.
