Good Morning!
Well, I gave in and took a sleeping pill last night. I'm OK this morning. No fitbit but I went to bed by 7:30, it was still light out and I slept until 5.
So that's good. I know I got in at least 7.5 hours.
What a difference.
So I went to the doc yesterday and more bloodwork which was surprisingly good.
I have to have two CTs, one for lungs and one for everything from my neck down to the pubic line.
And I had a test to see if I still am fighting something else and if I am, to see if it has progressed. I'm waiting on those results but it may be a few days.
My BP has gone WAY down. Naturally.
Overall, my cholesteral is good but the LDL is a tiny bit high. Iron levels good, but ferratin just the tiniest bit low.
I have to have a sleep disorder study too. This is not for apnea. I already know I have that. This may give some insight on how to help me with the insomnia. My doctor pretty much told me that the next thing to do medically is take a hynotic, such as Ambien and I won't do that because I've had episodes of sleep walking in my life and one of the times, I ended up across the street, in my night gown, barefoot in the dead of winter.
Yup, not willing to encourage that again. People with sleepwalking are encouraged NOT to take hypnotics for sleep.
I have a friend whose been on Ambien for years but she has a husband there who can keep an eye on her. She's literally had whole conversations she doesn't remember, etc.
No thanks.
I mean, happy it works for her with only very infrequent episodes but I always get the weird side effects. If it's weird and it's abnormal and rare, I will get it.
Anyways, all good for now. Couple more results and a couple more tests and I'll know squarely where I sit with my health.
This was so worth it.
Ok, have a great day everyone.
Here are my latest shorts:
Be Blessed, everyone of you!!
Love & Light,
