I think I’ve lost a friend…a friend named Overeating.

I have been increased to a dosage of 400mg of provigil in the morning. As a result, I am much perkier, have gotten a lot more accomplished during the day, and my house is getting cleaner. I am not late for work at all and…I have no appetite.
I keep a box of cereal next to [...]

Update

So they increased my meds & I’m now on 400mg per day of the provigil. Every morning. It’s worked wonders.
Part of the sleep deprivation & waking up from it is, I notice a lot more things that before, I would have let slide. Behaviors, the way I am treated, etc. No more. Not having it. [...]

Sleep Apnea, part 87

Ok, now for the meat of this blog: the sleep doctor. I went in this am, disheveled & bleary eyed, as I always am in the morning. Before the diagnosis, I just assumed that everyone spent their mornings this way. I let the nurse know that I was gaining weight, not losing like they told [...]

Struggling struggling struggling struggling

I get weighed tomorrow at the doctor. No more hiding.
I already sort of know the jig is up. I went shopping at Catherine’s with a little of my tax return. I paid bills with the rest of it. I had to buy a 4X coat and it was still a little tight in the arms. [...]
