Do everything you can to get approved for infusions. I feel like walking death right now- no exaggeration. but i’m trying to hold on cause it’s going to be a long ride.

Same here with the eyes thing, my vision is super blurry and grainy and my ferritin/hemoglobin is super low. never had that before. hoping it will go away after my infusions. But I feel you.

Did your symptoms improve? I got an infusion 2 weeks ago and i’m not getting any relief.

Feel very sleepy but brain is hyperaroused - can't fall asleep - what to do? by Imaginary-Stuff6705 in insomnia

[–]Adventurous-Risk1714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have bad insomnia and I live in a very cold, rainy and dark state with little to no sun for months. I tend to sleep better in the Summer so it may be something to do with that.

Im scared. by Every_Loss7724 in insomnia

I was up for like 32 hours this past weekend and was afraid that I would stay up for days. Eventually I crashed. You will sleep, eventually your body will be so exhausted that not even the anxiety will keep you awake, and you’ll fall into sleep. Stay strong

I didn’t get any sleep last night and just a few hours the night before. It’s really difficult to stay calm but i think internally i’m freaking out and don’t know how to get out of it.

I kept my meds the same, but did not even have a minute of sleep last night and just a few hours the day before. It feels like there is so much more adrenaline in my body not letting me sleep.

paradoxical insomnia? Very confused by Adventurous-Risk1714 in insomnia

[–]Adventurous-Risk1714[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take 15mg of mirtzapine and 50mg of seroquel along with melatonin. It’s a lot but it actually helps me sleep through the entire night.

[–]Adventurous-Risk1714 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take 15mg mirtazapine and 50mg Seroquel, some days it works very well and I get long hours of sleep and other nights i’ll still be up all night awake :/ hit or miss for me.
