Hey Kate, everyone, how've you been?

 

Funny you titled it "wake up"  ...  So far, I've missed a week of work because my problem with waking up (not just in the morning)  has gotten much worse..  I sleep 15+ hours, wake up for an hour. then go back for another 12.  wake up for 4... sleep for another 15... something like that...   it's not the staying awake thats the problem.. I'll wake up, and stay up for 2 days... or just the regular 16 hours... then still sleep like a mutha-----  but it's not the sleeping thats the problem... it's the WAKING UP..  Like.. I can't wake up. Nothing wakes me up... 

 

Doctors are trying to help, and work is helping too, they just sent the short term disability papers...  Neurologist agree's I should look into Schizophrenia...  Sleep doctors seemed pretty agreeing too.. Just gotta find a psychiatrist now... Reason I've been pushed this direction is that I've found the only drugs that have an affect on ease-of-awakening are anti-psychotic medications... in peticular, ones for schizo and like disorders..  Soooo  That's led me to the the possible diagnosis of scizo and/or affective disorder... behavioral too.. ..  ..

 

Also, that schizo and like diagnosis', also have a wide range of other symptoms.. adhd, tourette's  (my middle name --  LaTourette)  ---  which I still haven't discounted either...

 

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia when I was 17.... So I guess this would be an overpowing diagnosis, as opposed to a co-morbid condition.. whatever the hell my problem is...

 

Anyway, I couldn't resist cuz of the topic name... lol...  why?  Cuz I CAN'T. 

 

I've been blinking out on the freeways again too... not good... swerving a bit...here.. and there.... not too bad though.... 

 

hope everyone is doing well...  you too kate-
