Re: OL Tuesday
I bet it's a GIRL!
bahahah.
jk
But no, really, I hope you find out what's wrong.
I don't really know much about this. But they may want to send you to a sleep lab, to see what's really going on at night and if you're just not getting good quality sleep for other reasons.
Lauren,
I seriously cant wait to look through your pics. I would do it now but I wont be able to give them the attention they deserve.
Tiffany,
I think the saliva test is a good idea. I recently heard of someone who had the same issue and found out their adrenal (sp?) glands were not creating enough of certain hormones and thats what was causing it.
I was going to suggest the Iron deficiency too. But usually with that you would have other symptoms as well from what I understand.
If you take a regular multivitamin daily, I don't see why you would have an iron deficiency though.
Haha - I can confirm there are no babies, with certainty!
I take a regular multi. I even changed the brand last week to see if that would help. I really don't think it is sleep because it started about a month before I had sleep issues, plus I rested and relaxed all weekend and it hit me again today.
Maybe I will make an appointment and see. It couldn't hurt, right?
Dear Tiffany,
As you know, I am experiencing the same thing myself. I have currently stopped taking Claritin, stopped drinking diet soda, and since Mel can go to the bus stop by herself now, started sleeping a few hours more a week. (Sometimes I counteract that though by staying up later at night.) I am feeling better--still tired but I see a difference. I think it was the Claritin. When it wore off every day, it was just draining me.
I go for my yearly in 2 weeks and I plan to have my blood work done and my thyroid levels checked.
With All the Trimmings
Just do it!
It couldn't hurt. I say go and try to get answers.
I'm so lost. Where is everyone looking at your wedding pictures?
Facebook? That would explain a lot.
Tiffany is PG?!
Bio
Good heavens, no.
I just made an appointment. I took the online survey on the Dr's site and it says it very well could be adrenal or testosterone, ironically. According to the survey, I have more symptoms than I even realized.
Well I don't really know anything about either of those things...but I hope they're easy to fix.
I think you should to go the dr. I hope they can help and you start to feel more energized soon.
I would ask your DR if they plan on doing the saliva test because there are certain foods and drinks you cant have the day of the test to ensure it doesnt mess with the hormones they are testing for. I hope they figure it out and you get to feeling better soon.
I had to do something like this late last year. I couldn't have anything to eat or drink 2 hours before I went to bed and you had to chew on this cotton bar for 2 minutes between midnight and 2 am, when 'things' are ideal.
How weird is that?!
Thanks Ladies, I'm sure they will be able to get to the bottom of this!
Dear bossy coworker-
What do you not understand about a task being YOUR responsibility, NOT mine? Is this clear as mud to you? You've been talked to how many times now? You keep trying to push it off on me and I guess I will continue to push back because while you are used to being asked "How high?" when you say "Jump", I'm done.
