Slapping my forehead, really hard

I had a lovely day yesterday with my husband, just the two of us, all alone, and thought I might have another lovely one today, but I really felt odd. Very very tired.

I've been exhausted recently, but not everyday. And some nights I have terrible insomnia, then feel great the next day. I started to wonder if I was going crazy, maybe depressed? Maybe sick? More thyroid problems? I wondered if it could be the DHEA?

I'd been taking extra Vitamin D, could that be it? Doesn't usually make people tired, does it? Nahhhh, but just in case I checked my pill bottles and warning labels, and then the container I carry my medication around in my purse.

Do you know WHY I should always put my contacts in before taking my pills?

Cause if I take them without my contacts, I might mix up the melatonin and the Vitamin D pills. (They look exactly the same.) And maybe take 2 melatonin in the morning and fuck up my entire sleep-wake cycle.

Yes, really.....I am this blind.

Laser eye surgery, anyone?

  3. Yuck. I'm that blind too, by the way. So glad you and Mr. Cotta had a nice day together, and I hope the messed up sleep cycle resolves soon.

  4. Is it terrible that I'm laughing (just a tiny bit) at this? Lucky that you checked before it had gone on for too long.

  5. I, too, am laughing at this a little. Sorry about this. Did you get to sleep at least? Getting extra sleep can't be a bad thing, can it?

  6. The problem is that I only wanted to sleep during the day. It was wearing off at night and leaving me wide awake.

    I did sleep well last night anyway. This morning I'm going to sit in the sun and in front of my litebox and try and reset my clock. Then maybe make an appointment with my eye doctor. (grin)

  7. Okay, I laughed a bit, too. But it was funny and I was laughing with you not at you ;-)

  9. The DHEA really fucked with me in the beginning, so you never know. It hasn't been too bad in the last couple of weeks. I built my way back up to 3 pills a day and I feel ok.

    Maybe you can keep your D and melatonin in different containers???
