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

Emily...I can't imagine not sleeping for 3 weeks!!! It is so hard to imagine that you have been in pain for so long. Our hearts go out to you and we sure hope your new med works.
I have a tiny booboo, by comparison. I had arthroscopic surgery on my knee on Thursday. I had a torn meniscus and also a banged up patella. After surgery, they asked if I had ever been in a car accident...I have not. I really can't remember when I hurt it so badly to do that much damage...but like I said it is just a small booboo compared to your constant pain that has lasted for years.
School begins the 29th...my last year! Hope to make it fun and go out w/ a smile on my face!!!
Take care and you are in my prayers every day.
Great job! This looks so professional and of course is so-o well written. Love you.
