The end is near?

A very busy weekend has left me stiff and unable to do much. It was worth it though. We welcomed our new nephew, took in the art festival at Toronto City Hall, attended Maker Festival at The Toronto Reference Library, and celebrated a birthday between Thursday and Monday!

I woke up at 1pm, had breakfast, and  pruned 3 plants. I am now back in bed, dizzy and tired. Nothing else will be done today.

Tomorrow, however, is an exciting day! I get a CPAP machine! My sleep study results showed that I snore very loudly at 56 decibels. That's almost the equivalent of standing 100 feet away from an AC unit that sputters to life every few minutes all night long. I also learned that I stopped breathing 120 times in 6 hours...yes, that's 20 times per hour! My oxygen levels are low at 80%, hence, morning headaches, lack of concentration and focus etc.

Yep, tomorrow may be the end of most of my issues.

Cymbalta 2

It's been well over a month since I started taking cymbalta. It made me very drowsy for the first two to three weeks. It did, however, take away my constant pain. I only experience break through pain now. It's worse when I don't follow my diet.
I've been craving potatoes lately. I only have cravings when my body is deficient in one thing or another. I have not been taking my magnesium or B12 supplements and as it turns out, potatoes are a very good source of both. This explains why I was relaxed and able to rest properly after chowing down on some (two large) fries. I had already tried to have dinner with nothing but an increased upset stomach and the inability to rest to show for it. So, I'll resume taking magnesium citrate and B12 methylcobalamin.

Rough day

Today has been the worst since this flare up started. I'm feverish and hurting. Emotionally, I'm lost. I don't know what to do in my situation. At times like this I need help all day everyday. Being in limbo sucks. I don't know if I can get government help with that. We can't afford home care unless we move. I don't want to move, but wants and needs are two different things.
