When Sleep is Hard to Get 💤
Thu Feb 06 2025

I want to admit that I do my best to rest and relax. I know I do suffer from, insomnia a lot during the week because I am always dealing with anxiety and my brain cannot shut down for me at times. These kind of nights happen a lot in my life, but I am on enough medication right now, and a doctor prescribe me a medication without going through the side affects with me and my caregiver Jackie. This doctor, I will not recommend anyone to because of that incident. I was not impressed. The fact is that there is only one place in the MercyHealth system I trust fully and at 100% is the radiology department team that takes care of my dialysis catheter. I have lost my faith in MercyHealth altogether unfortunately. It is also why I have a primary doctor at SSM Health today, and my doctor is Dr. Christopher Taylor and I like him a lot. I also have Dr. Noreen King who happens to be my gynecologist. My foot doctor Dr. Axe is with SSM Health as well, but I no longer have major problems with my right foot that he helped me with before 2022 and now. My friend Julie trIms my toenails now, so I no longer go to him. The situation with my right foot has somehow stopped to be an issue. The problem moved up my leg for a few days and disappeared after going 2 to 5 inches above the outside part of the ankle of the right foot.

With all that said, I do have to admit that sleepless nights are few and far in between these days of my anxious life in time. Does it bother me?! Well, yes, it does, but I am indeed emotionally attached to some people to this very day, and it does suck when my world comes with baggage that I deal with in a refuse to fight with insomnia several days a week, and does not happen every night—thank goodness gracious. I find it annoying then. Anyway, I have one more treatment this week because tomorrow is Friday, and the weekend will be here. Woohoo! Sleep on the weekend is an on and off thing for me. I do not have a bedtime on Fridays or Saturdays anymore anyway. I do love my weekends now!

    Not being able to sleep is a tough one. Our bodies and minds do so much better with a good sleep. I hope those nights aren't too often for you....💗
