19 hours
GAY SHEEP
a single block of sleep where I only got up for the bathroom twice
GAY SHEEP
I could still doze if I wanted

ohmygooooooosh GOOD
GAY SHEEP
I was getting an average of 5 hours before with just the hydroxizine added
GAY SHEEP
I changed my BP med to something that still helps Raynauds and isn't a calcium channel blocker, so that should improve my legs over time
GAY SHEEP
I'm finally the next bump up on Lyrica, so 100 2x a day overhead of 75
GAY SHEEP
instead**
GAY SHEEP
I'm forced on to duoloxetine before getting back to savella
GAY SHEEP
so this could be the wham of med changes, but I'll be glad to take a chunk out of this 3+ year sleep debt
Worser Punk 💥
whyyyyyyy are they making you take duloxetine? D:
GAY SHEEP
Because they're forcing me onto step therapy, despite having records of them preauthorizing it themselves while I was inbetween doctors
GAY SHEEP
Everyone over there tried getting it through, especially Africa. I think I'm the only one it's not working with
Worser Punk 💥
what the fuck
Worser Punk 💥
imho take less than they're prescribing and say it doesn't work. the withdrawal is terrible
GAY SHEEP
I don't remember how the withdrawal was for me back when I did it before. Probably was too focused on how it wasn't working for me at all at the time
Worser Punk 💥
lmao. tbh if you've already tried it just don't take enough to become dependent on it
GAY SHEEP
So, an update. While the pain is still present, I feel lighter. I think the edema in my legs is steadily going down (at least, they're not pitting so easily)
GAY SHEEP
I'm very tired, or keep feeling like I can always go back to sleep, but the sleep feels restful. I mean, I've got over 3 years of sleep debt, so I'm not going to be surprised if restful sleep is demanded from my body for a while
GAY SHEEP
I forgot to take the hydroxyzine, so I didn't have huge chunks of uninterrupted sleep, but was able to keep sleeping despite those interruptions for about 12 hours?

I'm so glad you're getting sleep
I'm so glad you're getting sleep

and yeah like you might need to sleep for a couple weeks off and on. you have a LOT of catching up to do
GAY SHEEP
of course it's when I have a morning appointment that I sleep like ass. flipping around more than a gas station hot dog
GAY SHEEP
I forgot to take Tylenol before bed is definitely one of the reasons
Worser Punk 💥
nooooooo
GAY SHEEP
still getting about 7 hours of sleep every day, uninterrupted!
GAY SHEEP
blood tests for preop were all good. things are starting to normalize, and my blood pressure has greatly improved with this and the change to lorastan
Worser Punk 💥
I'm so glad you're sleeping
Worser Punk 💥
like. finally!!!
