Fatigue and Sleepiness

sleepiness



I am used to fatigue where I can suddenly feel as thoughI hit a brick wall and the pain all over starts and I cannot do much of anything. During these times I don't sleep to well mostly because of the spasms and pain.
Well lately I started something new. I sleep at night around 7 hours I dream, my husband says I don't snore . He says at times I breathe softly through my mouth.
I wake up and in a few hours I am so sleepy I go back to bed and sleep hours.around five hours or 2 three hour naps and go to bed and sleep through the night.
I have not started any new meds. My mind has been very foggy.
I have no idea what has been causing this. I don't feel like this is depression.

Went out last for the first time in a long time

Went with my daughter to get a few things at Walmart. I pushed the middle age walker (cart) to give me some support.
The lights there bother me terribly. That was yesterday evening. Today I could hardly move. My hips , low back,shoulder, and legs were stiff and painful most of the day. I finally took a Lortab 5/325 this afternoon and it helped some. I know an anti-imflamatory would be better however I cannot take NSAIDS.
We have a family gathering on Sunday. I was hoping to stay home but my husband has asked me to please go. This is his first social event since he had his ruptured aneurysms in December. He is doing so well,gaing strength and his speech is getting better and only has a few problems being understood.
I like seeing family, but I was hoping to have some alone time.
I am going to bed early so I can get up early it takes me a whole day to get myself prepared to go somewhere like this.
When I am in a flare like this I am so slow and have to prepare myself emotional and physically. Yes i am really this odd. I guess this is why I ralely go anywhere. This will probably knock me down all next week.

Myoclonic Jerk

Jun 25, 2009 02:30PM - 1 comments

This started last night just after falling asleep. It started in my right leg,happened twice. Then bang goes my right arm 2 times.After that I fell asleep. I have never had that happen before at least I am not aware of it.Today I am having spasms in hands and feet.
The last 2 days have been stressful. My husband has had a fever just below the point to take him to the ER.
He seems to be slowly but surely recovering from his ruptured anuerysms. We are still waiting on an answer from SSDI. He has SSI and medicaid,but this is all. I cannot work. Two of our beautiful daughters are helping us.
My doctor told me I should be on disability. I know I should start the process. Right now it seems like a task too big for me to handle.

Ok This IS More Like IT--

My pain has moved down both legs and they feel kind of wobbly.
I am trying to research to find out if a 8mm parivascular space in my left Basal Ganglia has anything to do with my
resting tremors in my right hand.Sometimes when I reach for something my hand will jump and just knock it over.
I can hold my coffee cup and I don't shake.I also get severe spasms where 2 fingers will lock together,or my thumb will spasm and lock itself to the palm of my hand. This is very painful.After a few minutes the spasm will release but sometimes go right back into a spasm.Writing is painful because my hand cramps so badly.
