Sleep Escapes me yet again
I am not sure what is wrong with me. I wish the doctors could help me out. For the past mont and three weeks I cannot sleep during the night or during the day for that matter. Once I fall asleep my stomach pains wake me up. At first I thought it was Acid Reflux because it was a burning in my stomach. Now I do not feel the burning as much but the pain wakes me up and does not let me sleep. I crave sleep so bad. I would have recovered better by now if it were not for this problem. Sleeping is critical for normal people let alone someone who is recovering from surgery. Doctor said to me today she never had a patient with a problem to this extent. I dread the night it causes anxiety because I know I wish it were different. The doctor drew blood today and asked me about my Calcium levels and if I felt those symptoms( lip falling asleep) I said no. She tapped on my face and said good no twitch( a sign that would have indicated something was abnormal with my calcium level) She mentioned that if the blood test came back normal then maybe she could cut back on the amount of citracal I am taking. Presently I am taking it 3 times a day with four vitamin D hormones to absorb the calcium. I am hopeful. This would help if my parathyroids kicked in for me. Lord I need me some help. I pray. Dad continues treatment tomorrow. I know he is anxious about it. I could tell in his voice. I wish there was something I could do to ease his mind but I cannot. He does not see a therapist and to tell you the truth should have been on some type of "calming meds" a long time ago. Anyways I will try to lay down and close my eyes again. I envy everyone in the house that is able to sleep. My sister, husband, and even the two dogs that snore.
