I'm tired, frustrated, cranky, discouraged and just down right out of kilter, but I promised, so here I am. For 3 nights I took a low dose of melatonin, trying to get some restful sleep. I suspect that it reacted with my antidepressant, resulting in some major visual disturbances, but not any restful sleep. At one point I was reading and couldn't figure out why I couldn't make out the words...my eyes were closed! I took Wednesday off work and didn't manage to even get out of bed till 11:30. I am starting to feel that it's mostly out of my system, but I'm also still waiting for my thyroid levels to return to normal, which could take another 3 to 4 weeks.
In the meantime, I'm coping the best I can and some days are better than others. One more day until I have a few weeks off work and I'm looking forward to the break.
I'm still trying to figure out how to sleep better. I wake up needing to adjust my position because my joints are so loose. I've had so much trouble with my neck, waking in spasms of pain and headache. I've changed pillows and that seems to help a little.
I've fallen asleep at least 6 times since I started writing this, so think I'll call it a day and see how the night goes.
Love, elly
And a "Promise is a promise"! Love you!
