My neck is really stiff today, its kinda painful! I don't sleep very well on my too-expensive-to-not- sleep-well-in tempur pedic bed and I tried using a pillow top mattress cover, and it used to help me sleep but its not working any more. And my mind lately has been racing at night, AND my left leg is annoying me at night too. So many reasons why I can't sleep at night! And I have been doing laundry, which consists of carrying laundry up and down the stairs several times so my neck is really bothering me! So much so that it is giving me a headache. Oh well, gonna take some advil and hope it goes away. Once I am done with the laundry I will take a hot shower and hopefully that will help too.
On the brighter side, my ankle hasn't hurt me at all since I got this new brace from the foot doc! And I feel like I am walking better. Now I just need better control of my knee! I know, always a complaint!
There are some things I have been noticing lately that I would like to share. I have noticed that if I stop using my wireless computer at least two hours before I go to bed I am able to fall asleep faster. I have also noticed that if I use my wireless computer for several hours in a row I get a headache. I am thinking that I will stop using the wi-fi and plug in the dsl cable into my laptop. I have a cable that will reach and hopefully that will decrease my exposure to harmful emf and help me sleep better, because lately I have been spending a lot of time on my laptop! I will let you know if it helps!
An update on how the Lexapro is working. lately I have been having trouble getting in touch with some of my friends and its led to me thinking about loneliness and stuff, you know my usual! And I have not been getting depressed! I am now at the peak time of how the Lexapro will work for me and its not making me not care about things, but I am not getting depressed about the usual things! I know I am not completely alone and I am comfortable with myself and being by myself and therefore am not getting depressed! I am completely relieved by this fact! And I spoke with my therapist about the fact that I run out of Lexapro 4 days before my doc appointment and he informed me that Lexapro is not something you just stop taking, you need to be weened off it so I need to call my doc and get a refill. I had read some comments from users of meds like Lexapro about how they were overly happy and didn't care about anything and had withdrawals when they stopped taking the meds and were addicted to it so I asked my therapist. He said there is no way to become addicted to Lexapro, it is an SSRI and that is all that it does so there is no way to become addicted to it, but the people that reported addiction or withdrawals probably stopped taking the medication without being weened off of it so that is why they thought they were addicted. it makes perfect sense. You only becomes addicted to something that can make you high and SSRI's do not make you high, they may seem to because you feel better taking them, but that is only because they are helping your brain maintain proper seratonin levels. These are the things my therapist told me and my interpretations of things I have read, I in no way claim to be giving medical advise in any way. If you have questions about these things ask your doctor.
