Still Sleepless...

Thanks to all of you who have read my blog!

I am finally posting a new update...

Not much to report...I'm STILL NOT SLEEPING. I may soon lose my sanity!

After 3 weeks of literally NO sleep EVERY night, I decided to call my PCP and tried the new med on the market for sleep, Lunesta. I got a wee bit of sleep last night--better than it has been. But, I still have yet to sleep more than 2 hours in a stretch. I guess I have some sleep problems, b/c by this point the previous sleep med and subsequent withdrawal symptoms should be over with! UGH! My POTS doc is back in town next week, so I will be in touch with him to see what we might try next. In the meantime, I couldn't take another night of pain and BBC World News and seeing the clock every hour!

Needless to say, I haven't had energy for anything..but I am listening to a 'fun fluff' book on tape right now, Lucia, Lucia which I am enjoying. I have a whole stack of books waiting to be listened to...it's so hard to decide which one to start next!

I will try to keep my blog updated more frequently, especially during times that I am even more unable to keep in touch.

That's the news for now. As always your emails always lift my spirits! Oh, the joy of 'New Mail' from those we love in our inbox!

Love and Blessings, Emily
