I woke up this morning and was so, soooo, sooooooo tired. I have been sleeping like absolute shit. Last Monday, I was the kind of tired that felt like a hangover, so I came home and slept. I'm thinking that the sleeping is awful because of the diuretics. I take them twice a day, and the 2nd set of pills I take right before bed. For some reason, it seems like they work REALLY well at night, and I spent the first couple of hours going to the bathroom, which means I don't get much sleep. And then I start to panic because I know I'm not getting enough sleep. Which leads to even less sleep. Eventually, it adds up and I need a break. It was cloudy, dark and rainy...in other words, a perfect day for a looooonnnnnng nap. And so I did.
And didn't wake up until 3:30pm.
I slept through 3 phone calls (with the phone RIGHT by my ear). Holy hell....I was tired. Am I rested? Hardly. But I think I can function a little better now.
Sadly, this little nap has postponed my lab results by another day. I turned them in on Monday, and then called my doc on Wednesday to get the results, but THEY still hadn't received them yet. So I called the lab where I got the blood draw done, but she was already gone for the day. That was Wednesday. I'm PRAYING that, when I call tomorrow, I'll have the results, but I've had a lot of problems with labs lately, so I won't hold my breath.

I don't know the science behind it, but I agree that those meds work better at night! Not fun at all!
ReplyDeleteIt pisses me off when labs don't get the results in a timely fashion. There is little to no excuse for it. Ugh.
I know the feeling! My doc said our kidneys are perfused better at night. I think the reasoning has to do with gravity...when were on our feet all day it's harder for the kidneys. Interesting, I do say!! I can drink two liters of water a day but the minute I hit the sack...it's all down hill!
