I’ve been up since 3. I slept for about 4 hrs. I couldn’t go back to sleep so just decided to stay up. I had three appts today. The first was with my pcp’s colleague to discuss my chest pain. She thinks it is muscle in nature and wants me to take ibuprofen for a few days.
Next appt was with the sleep specialist. That was a long appt. She basically talked for a half hour about sleep hygiene. She wants me to see a CBT-I therapist. She is going to discuss with my doc if i need a sleep study or at least to sleep with an oximeter on as I guess my oxygen levels dropped a little while I was sleeping during my last study. I’d rather have a thing on my finger than the whole wires and shit on my head. I’m to report back in a week or so to discuss if her recommendations were helpful in improving my sleep. She wants me to be up by 8am and go to sleep between 10 and 11. Some nights I can’t make it to 9 let alone 10. The goal is to have 8 to 9 hours even if it’s broken. Not doing that today as my sleep is already broken.
My last appt was with neuro. The NP looked like she was gonna cry. I don’t know. We went over meds and how the headaches/migraines have been. It has been an improvement.
I made an appt with my therapist for tomorrow as i wasn’t able to see her today. It will be virtual.
I tried to nap and failed. I have such a bloody headache. I got some reading done in my book. I read two chapters. I’m getting there. I still need to turn in my Italian homework. I’ll do that tomorrow.
