A Random Musing....

It is very peaceful as I sit here with my kitties. I am quite sure that if I leaned back in the recliner, I could clear my mind enough to go to sleep. I'm not ready for sleep yet though I am tired enough for it, but unfortunately it consumes enough of my time as it is. Due to my health conditions I have lost enough of my life to sleep since March, but it looks as if I may see a tiny ray of light at the end of the tunnel. The cortisol replacement medication should give me some relief from this ungodly fatigue that has made me the anti-life of the party. LOL I will be getting injections into my sacro-iliac joints to alleviate some of the lower extremity pain. I start those injections on Monday, and I must admit I am a little nervous about it. Maybe I need to be a little more realistic about the relief I will get, but who knows maybe they will work wonders for me. The medication change has worked for the numbness and tingling in my face, hands, and feet. I still get it, but it isn't nearly as bad as it was. So, I'll take any victory no matter how small, because after all, it is still a victory.

  2. Very anti-life of the party! LOL. OMG, the injections! What a nightmare they were. They helped the pain, but they sent my blood sugar out of the roof. I was having auditory hallucinations, could have drank the city reservoir dry, and ended up sleeping for about 3 days. So, no more shots for me. The bad thing is, they ended up improving my pain. LOL, Just my luck!
