Med reaction

I started taking IsoCort about a week ago; a new adrenal medication. After about 3 days on it I began to have difficulty sleeping. After 5 days I was only dozing on and off for maybe 5 hours out of every 24 and feeling very agitated. I finally made the connection between my sleep disruption and my new meds. I stopped taking them two days ago and called my doctor. She agreed that was likely the problem and told me to stay off them til my sleep stabilized. Since then I do feel a bit more relaxed and am sleeping for longer periods. I do think it will take a few more days for my sleep schedule to normalize. Until then, I'm taking it easy and enjoying not feeling like a sleep-deprived loon ;-)

I'm baaaack!

It has been a while since my last post..I apologize for that. I am back in Arizona and have been a very busy girl! My health is holding steady at 'functional' so I've been taking great advantage of that by getting as much done as I possibly can. Right now I'm also beading like a fiend in preparation for opening a tent at the flea market either the end of this month or the beginning of march. I called my old boss the other day and he has agreed to hire me back on...yay!. I will start part time - maybe 5-10 hours per week - til I get my strength back, then will add hours as I am able :-) Anyway, I'll write more later...right now it's time to kick my friend's butt at literati, grab a snack and hit the hay :-)
