Fun with Furs

 This gorgeous girl

keeps me laughing.

I got up off the couch

to go to the kitchen and 

came back to this site.

I just love this 

girl.

HAHA.....this has been my 

life lately.

Glad I have not been 

busy with the venue. 

I have even stopped going

into town at Photo Services

every week, I go every other 

these days. My house is a mess.

I used to live out of

baskets (clothes that never

got put away), now I live

off the guest bed. 

Yikes,

matter of fact I need to head to 

the basement, laundry

is calling my name.

I never cook anymore.

I am

not crafting or painting...

Lily and I have not been

playing chase and hide

and seek lately.....

I have to feel better soon.

With that being said, I have

been doing some reading on my

meds and health issues.

You see, I have been on a 

CPAP machine since

2005.

I had a few yrs after that, that 

I felt great during the day.

Little by little in combo

with Fibro things started to slip. 

Being it came about little

by little its hard to tell just

when things change. 

For years now I have suffered with

being tired, worn out, no energy

and fatigued all the time!

EVERY WAKING

MINUTE OF THE DAY. 

I never mentioned it to 

my sleep doc cause I never

thought to. Once I did, a couple

yrs ago he said I had CPAP

Residual. In a word, the CPAP

keeps me from stopping to 

breathe at night but apparently

is not doing what it needs

to do to prevent day time

sleepiness. That lead me to be

put on Sunosi to keep me

from sleeping my day away.

The Sunosi lead to me clinching

my jaws and grinding my 

teeth. Plus, having the shakes.

The jaw thing lead to a mouth

guard to wear during the day

and at night. Wearing it during the 

day lead to me losing it

just months from paying for it.

CRAP...

With the Sunosi, I stay awake,

I can't lay down and sleep....

but I still feel so tired with

no energy. 

Before finding out about

the residual I blamed it on 

the Fibro and the drugs I 

take for it.

So, back to the reading I have

done. 

Fibro causes you to be tired,

fatigued and no energy.

Cymbalta, causes the same.

Gabapentin, causes the same.

My BP meds cause the same. 

Then the residual and the Sunosi

not stopping that tired, fatigue

and no energy issue, added to 

the Fibro meds....I

have no quality of life.

BUT.....I am going to talk 

to my sleep doc. If the machine

is causing me to have the same

symptoms I had before going

on the CPAP, then something

needs to change. There is a

implant that goes inside the body,

it is suppose to help where the 

CPAP machine don't.

If that will stop the day

time sleepiness I feel I should

take that step. My sleep doc however

has not offered up that choice, so

I think at this point, it is time

to take my health in my own hands!!

Getting old with 

a chronic illness

and other health issues

makes like so hard.

Do you or someone

in your life suffer from 

Fibro?

Do you or someone you know

have a CPAP?
