PS.. read that post and tell me i dont need sleep. Can we all say ADD lol. 

I cant believe that you are driving this train again....I just wish you were sleeping better.  I surely would not be able to function properly getting the little bit of sleep that you do.  Glad that you were able to have an unsupervised visit with your babies...

Really dont have anything special happening this week, except for a couple of 'make me beautiful' appointments....it takes lots of $$ to make me look as beautiful as I do...LOL  Really starting to enjoy life again now that the MAJOR deadline has passed.

Take care.

Girl Mr, Insomnia and I go wayyyyyyyyyyyy back lol.   Enjoy your 'make yourself beautiful' you certaintly deserve them!!!! Do you have an official date to move this way yet?

No official date on the move...I have got to get the house ready to put the house on the market...and I have already started some of that.  Got a new roof last week thanks to some hail damage last spring, getting some landscaping done this week.  Need to get some painting done, and declutter the house.  Probably put some stuff in storage for that.  I want to get it on the market possibly by June.

I have been awake since 1:00.   Went to bed around 11:00 and wide awake.  So I do understand how you feel.  Went to see the PCP and he was asking how i was doing on Hydrocodine for my RLS.  I said well, it's keeping me awake instead of me being normal and knocking my ass out.  So I am going for a sleep study on the 7th.  Of course, watch, my RLS won't be doing a thing and I will be able to sleep normal.

hey marti,
long time no see. I feel you on the 1am thing.. i havent been to sleep at all.. so i understaned. We have another lady here on the board that hydrocodone makes hyper.  Im surprised they gave that to you for RLS. weird! And sucks that it makes it worse!!!

hope you get results from your sleep study.  I have attempted to do 3 of them. Seriously.. i coudlnt sleep long enough for them to get a decent reading!!!!!!!!!

Keep us posted

I'm here daily.  just don't post.

They have tried everything on the market for RLS and the only thing that would actually help is hyrdrocodine.  It was fine for a while, however I am tired of taking it and I am staying awake on it.  Right now, if I don't take it, i am in severe pain with my RLS that I have to constantly stay in the bathtub or walking around or I will cry.

Have them check your ferratin level...mine was 'in the dirt' when I was diagnosed with  RLS, and I ended up having an iron infusion immediately...then I had another one about 5 months later.

All the doctors have checked my ferratin level and never seem to be concerned.  However, my new PCP has decided to check my levels and to see if by taking extra iron, that will help.  I have my doubts on it but who knows.  I am just eager to not have to take anything and to be able to sit for at least 5 -10 minutes without being in pain.

I think one reason why my hematologist wanted me to do the iron infusion was to give me a high dosage of iron at one time rather than take the pills which would take much longer (time wise) to increase my iron level.  My reason was that it was tax season, and I knew that my iron needed to be jump started in order for me to make it to Tax Day and still have strength afterwards!!!
