I Need Every Bit Of Help /advice I Can Get

You are not alone in the no sleep catergory. I have a awful time whenever I have had insomnia, it really messed with my brain and I was being so negative.

Good for you for getting on the new meds. You will feel better than you do now with more good sleep.

Thing of you CB, hugs.
 
My head certainly feels in a better place having had some sleep. I worked on Monday, Tuesday, and Yesterday. I only did a few hours on Monday and Tuesday. Yesterday I was out from 9-5 and I felt better having done something productive with my day. I asked my mentor to remind me of this next time I ask him to cancel work for me! I'm sure if I'm upset, anxious, and falling apart I'll argue against him, but it's got to be worth a try!

I'm not sure what will happen over the weekend and next week when the meds are finished, and I don't think I can get back to the docs, because I have worked booked in all next week.

I did go to the docs this week, and completely forgot to ask about sleep meds, because my head was elsewhere due to a gynae check up. Doc think I may have nerve damage, which may or may not be permanent, which is yet another thing to worry about. It's really painful, I know that, so I really hope it's not permanent, because I think it would be difficult to live with that constant reminder. It's like a burning / stabbing sensation, which gets worse through the day, and with sitting. I could cope with the pain, when I thought it would be just for a week or so, until my injuries healed, but now that it's not getting any better, it's another worry.
 
I can understand your worry and I hate the suspense of not knowing.

Good for you for sleeping and getting some rest and that you being at work is giving you a sense of accomplishment.

Can you call your doctor about the sleep meds and try to get a refill? I sure hope so. If the doctor does not agree please get a second opinion when you can. Hugs.
