WTF, body!

Seeing that I have to be on a train at 8.49 am tomorrow, I "cleverly" took a sleeping pill at a reasonable hour last night in the hope of waking up at a sensible time today. It's Zopiclone, the only sleeping pill which has ever worked for me, and it's supposed to knock you out for 8 hours. I set several alarms as well.

I then proceeded to SLEEP THROUGH all of those alarms and not wake up properly until 6 pm. So much for getting myself onto "being awake in the morning" time! It's now 9.45 pm and I'm still feeling incredibly wobbly, sleepy and spoon-depleted, despite having eaten properly and taken vitamin pills.

WHO ATE ALL MY SPOONS?

Btw, Richard has found the ultimate cat-herder for when bisexuals do need herding. As seen in several blogs, newspapers and even TV: Fenton the labrador (language not work-safe).

I take 3.75mg. They don't tell you this, but among people I know on zopiclone, the recommendation is to take it no more frequently than every other day. Otherwise it stops working - as you've found!

How long before you get to see a doctor again?

I only got put on it on Monday, and it didn't even work on Monday night, so I don't think that's it.

Another 2.5 weeks till I next see the doctor, but I don't hold out much hope for getting any working pain relief or sleeping pills out of her, mainly because I don't think they've got to the bottom of what's wrong.(as in I think there are other things wrong beyond what they've already found).

Well, that's no good. I'm sorry to hear it.

I fully understand if you don't want to talk about your health in an unfiltered post in my journal, but I do hope they're doing some blood tests. Something quite major has to be up for you to hurt all the time!
