Here we go again!
right now and I think it's the Trileptal he takes for seizures that's to blame.
He's been on it about two months now, and the fatigue is just killing him.
Over the holidays he took several vacation days and had a good chunk of time off. Many days he slept until after 1pm.
Today he's supposed to go back to work, it's 9:30am and he's still not up. I went upstairs at 8:30 to check on him and he says he is just soooo tired he can't function.
I called his GP and they can get him in tomorrow. husband was supposed to have an appointment booked for his neuro this month but he never called. So he asked me to call for him last Friday, which I did, but they were closed. They called back today and the soonest they can see him is Feb. 4th. I TOLD him to call in early December to get the appointment on the books, but NNNNNNOoooooooo!
AARrrrggghh! Sometimes I just want to kick his butt.
I also think the Trileptal is undermining the effectiveness of the Paxil he restarted.
His employer is supposedly laying off a bunch of people from his group, but has not said when they will start notifying people, just that it's after the first of the year. He seems to think he's safe, for now. I just am so worried that he has a false sense of security... and with his fatigue issues affecting his attendance, that makes me even MORE nervous!
Just needed to get that out. I think I'm doing everything I can short of physically propping him up. He's our sole source of income, and his mental health issues put us into debt big time last year, so our shakey finances just cannot withstand him losing his job right now...
